What I Want: A 1970s Sapphic Rockstar Rivals to (Secret) Lovers Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798254302070)

Spring, 1979

All eyes are on the two biggest rock bands in the world, Evergreene and Femme Fatale. Or more specifically the world's spotlight is fixed on Cassie Everard and Pia Lindberg, the two bands' leading ladies and the most photographed, talked about and lusted after women in the music industry.

Cassie is folk rock's golden girl and English rose, an innocent songbird whose on-off relationship with her bandmate Stephan Greene sells almost as many albums as her song-writing skills. The problem is those albums aren't turning into the awards she craves.

Pia is punk rock's bad girl, black cat and rebel with a cause. Rumoured to be involved with all four of her male bandmates, it seems nobody can pin her down, not least her management who she constantly clashes with, even though she sells them plenty of records. Just, apparently, not enough tour tickets...

The media love talking about Cassie and Pia's rivalry so when they're forced to record a song together, fans go wild. Pia and Cassie, on the other hand, are less than enthusiastic... until they end up locked in a hotel room together, each determined to make the label's song something they actually want to sing.

Twenty-four hours later and Cassie and Pia are not just rockstar rivals; they're lovers. And equally as terrified about the world finding out as they are being forced to hide what is fast-becoming their favourite love song...

What I Want is a spicy sapphic rockstar rivals to lovers with opposites attract, grumpy x sunshine, and dyslexia and hearing loss rep. Full tropes, tags and rep can be found at @francesmthompson. This book is intended for readers aged 18+.
