(Lost in Oblivion #1)
Publication date: April 9th 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult
Synopsis:
Book 1 in the NA rock star series, Lost in Oblivion
Love definitely wasn’t on the setlist.
Opening for their idols on their first tour, Oblivion is living the dream. Mostly. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts. He only comes up for air long enough to refuel—and to tease the deliciously cute chef who makes him crave a lot more than what she’s offering on her serving plate.
As the child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless stomach are too tempting to resist. He’s far from the typical rock star and before long, she finds herself experimenting with him, inside and out of the kitchen.
Apron – and panties – optional.
When Harper sees that Deacon’s dream band with his best friends may be turning into a nightmare, she can’t walk away. Deacon’s so much more than just a peacemaker and the man behind the bass. But she has her own dreams to chase…even if she’s starting to think what she’s building with him might be the biggest one of all.
You met Deacon McCoy in SEDUCED, now you can watch just how far a big man can fall.

Thanks so much for inviting Taryn & I to visit to talk about
Rocked! We’d love to share a bit about our boys – and girl – from Oblivion. We kicked
off the Lost in Oblivion series last summer with the full-length intro,
SEDUCED, and Deacon’s book, ROCKED, released in April! In honor of the festivities,
lead guitarist Nick decided to interview Deacon, bassist, peacemaker and
all-around good guy with a streak of dirty. ;) Hope you enjoy!
1) Nick: So tell the loyal readers of this blog something, Deak
- how the f*** did you get so BIG? Is it all the protein shakes, the obsessive
working out or just genes that made you look like you gnaw on your bass for a
bedtime snack?
Deacon: It takes double reps to deal with you idiots on the bus. Oh, and that's daily. So...you do the math, genius. *Deacon tosses medicine ball at Nick*
*Nick catches the 20lb exercise ball in the gut with a grunt* Okay, fine, this is about music, so we'll keep it about music. *winces slightly and tosses back* How'd you get so damn lucky to end up with such fine musicians, boy?
D: Is that what this is? luck? Well, I guess if I didn't have sh** luck, I wouldn't have any at all. *smirks at Nick's raised brow* No, seriously. We were in the same neighborhood and I caught you and Simon on the pier playing for cigarette money. How many people our age know Bad Company and Sweet Child O' Mine? It was fate.

2) Nick: The bass is pretty cool and all but guitar players do
it faster, you know. Did you ever want to swap out instruments and come at it
from a different direction? (huh, that sounded dirty...something I'm always
*up* for)
D: Perv. You're hanging with Simon too much.
Nick: He doesn't shut the hell up. Yaps all damn night through the bunk on the damn bus.
D: 3 words. Noise cancelling earbuds. *smothers a laugh* You're learning that withering glare thing from Jazz. Impressive. *Sits back on couch and stretches out legs* I'm good with the guitar, and I can play the piano, but the bass feels right. And when it comes to music it's all about what feels right.
3) Nick: My first concert experience was Pearl Jam back when I
thought wearing flannel made me look deep. What was yours? If you tell me
something with Bret Michaels, I'll fear for your mortal soul, just FYI.
D: First show I paid for my own ticket? or first show I snuck into?
D: First show I paid for my own ticket? or first show I snuck into?
Nick: Both.
D: I had a growth spurt at 12.
Nick: Color me shocked.
D: Hey, being six feet tall gets you into gigs. And drinks.
Nick: And girls.
D: Maybe. But the first show was The White Stripes. First paid one was at sixteen. That one I drank way too much trying to impress a girl.
D: I had a growth spurt at 12.
Nick: Color me shocked.

Nick: And girls.
D: Maybe. But the first show was The White Stripes. First paid one was at sixteen. That one I drank way too much trying to impress a girl.
Nick: How'd that work out?
D: Puke and Black Eyed Peas. What do you think?
Nick: Your puke?
D: The girl.
* Nick claps loudly as he laughs*
4) Nick: Why the hell do you care so much about keeping the peace? Don't you ever want to let loose with me and Pretty Boy when we whale on each other? *looks off-camera* Okay, fine, this is supposed to be a semi-serious interview so I'll change that question to: What kind of satisfaction do you find from melding the tempestuous personalities of the great musical geniuses you have in your midst? *smirks*
D: If I don't keep the peace then the chaos takes over. I'm not letting this band fall into chaos. Period. It means too much. Besides, if I let loose you'd need more than a Band-Aid like when you fight with Pretty Boy.
D: Puke and Black Eyed Peas. What do you think?
Nick: Your puke?
D: The girl.

5) Nick: So how do you feel about groupies? Also - what's your
preferred way to FEEL UP groupies? I mean, now that we actually have some. You
aren't really looking to get settled down right when we've finally hit the
jack-off jackpot, are you? (I heard a rumor. No, of course I don't pay
attention to gossip mags. Unless they have dirt on Simon - then it's ALL true.)
D: Settled down isn't a bad thing. A new woman in my bed or my bunk...or if you're Simon, whatever closet is available...isn't my bag. I like knowing just where to touch my girl and learning all the things that make her tick or make her sigh. I like seeing that same smile spread just for me. The same woman isn't a bad thing, bro. Not at all. The groupie deal is way overrated.
…See what I mean? Deacon’s a good guy
who isn’t afraid to do whatever it takes to win over the heart of his woman.
