The Naked Violinist is the newest book in the Naked For Her Art series. It’s about a music student who’s trying to cover her tuition fees by busking outside of the concert hall. After a series of events she ends up with an offer she finds very hard to refuse. Here’s an excerpt:

“Do we get to choose?” he asked.

“For five pounds? Absolutely. As long as it’s for solo violin, of course.”

“No, I mean for fifty pounds. Do we get to choose what you take off?”

I felt suddenly embarrassed, remembering what Trinity had written beneath my own little request message.

“Oh, I’m sorry, a friend wrote that there. For a joke.”

He tilted his head and the note began to head back to his wallet. It was only then that I saw that, yes, it really was a fifty pound note.

“Yes, sorry…” I said quickly, “It’s fine. But you don’t get to choose.”

My eyes were on the note. That was a week’s money in one tip!

“How much would I have to give you if I wanted to choose?” he asked with a half smile.

“It… depends what you’d choose, I guess,” I said nervously.

“I’m just joking,” he said, suddenly relaxing and dropping the fifty pounds into my case. “It was my wife’s idea.”
