But they live in completely different worlds, and their age difference complicates matters. How far will Brixton’s disapproving manager go to keep them apart? Will Jackie’s interloping “was-band” ruin everything? Is Brixton willing to alienate his young and adoring fans for the sake of love, or will Jackie remain his Pop Secret?

Interview For Reviewers

A gay man and a straight woman romance writing team. How did that come about?
Markus had the idea for the book but knew he would need a female’s perspective into the mind of the protagonist, Jackie Notter. He was also looking for help creating realistic straight sex scenes.

That opening chapter…
It’s very in-your-face on purpose. “Peeking Ahead” is basically a litmus test to see if the reader can handle the realistic sexual content.

The formula for romance books has become rich older man saves a naive young woman. It was nice to see the concept flipped.
Sometimes you have to break the rules to have fun. Plus the authors wanted their protagonist to be a strong woman.
