Olivia Cunning is a New York Times bestselling author of erotic romance novels, and Touch Me is the first book in her Sinners on Tour series.
The novel was published on April 18, 2013, and is a captivating read that explores the themes of love, trust, and jealousy. The novel is set against the backdrop of the Sinners on Tour rock band’s rise to fame, comprising five members, lead singer Brian Sinclair, bassist Jace Seymour, drummer Eric Sticks, lead guitarist Trey Mills, and rhythm guitarist Sed Lionheart.
Fans view these rockers only as gods of the music world, and their lives are shrouded in mystery. Touch Me delves into the lives of these men in ways only a select few people are privileged to see.
The plot of the novel revolves around Molly Hayes, a music journalist who lands an interview with the Sinners on Tour. During her first interview with the band, she crosses paths with guitarist Trey Mills, and the two have an instant connection.
What follows is a tumultuous relationship that blossoms amidst the rock and roll tour lifestyle and the band’s chaotic existence. As Molly gets drawn into Trey’s world, she discovers the band’s hidden secrets and the skeletons in their closet.
