Happy
Halloween everyone! Roxanne D. Howard here. I write contemporary and paranormal
erotic romance with Loose Id. Thank you for having me on your blog! Today I’d
like to discuss my playlist for my recent release, Batten Down the Hatches, the first book in my new Costa Mesa
series.
Each
of these series books is holiday themed, and I had an absolute blast writing
them. Piper Goldhirsch is a sassy
tabloid reporter out to expose a whale watching captain, but when she realizes
Captain Jack’s the same hunk she had sexy shenanigans with at a Halloween Ball,
things get tricky when they can’t keep their hands off each other.
From
the playlist below, two of the songs that bear a lot of weight to Batten Down the Hatches are “Over and
Over Again” by Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes, and “Fight Song” by Rachel
Platten.
When
Piper and Jack meet behind the concealment of their masks at a ritzy Halloween
Ball, Piper captures Jack’s heart from the second he sees her. They dive feet
first into a passionate affair in the billiard room, and though they part ways
after, he’s deeply taken with this enigmatic, sexy woman.
Jack
crashes into Piper’s life in unexpected ways; she’s successful at busting chops
for a living on her show, but after the greatest sex of her life with Jack, the
next day she gets called in to a meeting, and finds that he’s her job’s next
target! She has to go undercover on a whale watching cruise and expose Jack,
knowing full well he’s the same man who incited wild passion in her.
“Fight
Song” is her mantra throughout the book as she struggles between her feelings
for Jack and her obligation to her work. When Jack and Piper do meet up again,
they can’t keep their hands off each other. Please enjoy this playlist I
listened to while writing this first book.

Book Description:
Piper Goldhirsch is the head reporter for Business Buster, an Undercover Boss-esque tabloid exposé show. While it was never her dream job, it pays the bills. When she attends a masked Halloween Ball and has a passionate affair in the billiard room with a sexy costumed pirate captain who calls himself Captain Jack, what starts out as a few kind words and exchanged kisses soon transforms into the greatest sex of her life, and she’s haunted by the powerful magic between them. Piper parts ways with the mysterious stranger, and assumes she’ll never see him again… until he becomes her job’s next target.
Captain Jack Spencer runs his own brand new whale watching company, Ahoy, Matey, on the outskirts of Costa Mesa and Balboa Island. He’s so good at it he’s garnered the attention of rival companies. Piper is called in by Jack’s nemesis to go undercover on an ocean tour to expose him, and reveal his alleged illegal tricks that have made his business so successful in a short amount of time. But when Piper realizes he’s the same sexy man she slept with at the Halloween Ball, she’s emotionally conflicted. Jack is unable to forget the woman from Halloween, and when they do meet up again, they can’t keep their hands off each other. It’s time to Batten Down the Hatches, because the waves are about to get wild!
