After his past bad
relationship, twenty-nine-year-old, newly promoted, record label CEO Jackson
Whitmore vows never to love again. With his best friend and vice president,
Eric, at his side, Jackson’s main focus is the business, until a beautiful
woman, Milan Wells, waltzes into his life and is introduced as the new
president. While Jackson wants to object to the decision, it becomes difficult
when Milan brings forth bold and fresh ideas, catching both his and Eric’s
attention; for different reasons.
Tensions soon arise when
Milan and Eric’s competitive natures collide forcing Jackson to intervene
causing a rift between the once inseparable duo. With rumors of Milan’s abusive
relationship surfacing and Eric spiraling out of control, Jackson finds himself
stepping up to protect Milan and entering an intense physical relationship.
While Jackson and Milan are slowly falling for one another, Eric’s jealousy
erupts into a vicious quest for revenge that plunges the lovers into danger
they never imagined.
This is the sophmore novel
for author M. Skye. In her novels, she likes to evoke strong dramatic story
lines, with strong romantic content. She loves to throw twists and curve balls
you won’t see coming into her stories, with racy encounters at every turn. This
is the second published work, but won’t be the last from this imaginative
writer. She spends her free time writing and spending time with her large
family.
Get to know the author:
How long have you been writing, and how did you start?
I’ve been writing since
middle school, mostly poems and short stories. I only recently started to
dabble in full length novels. I love to read, so I was sitting reading a book
from one of my favorite authors, and I thought, hey, I can do this. Two months
later, I had Circle of Deception, my first novel, and I’ve been writing ever since.
What’s the story behind the title of your book?
The title lets you know that
there is going to be some king of sexual tension in the work place. What you
don’t count on is the backstabbing and mudslinging regarding the two best
friends.
Do you have another job outside of writing?
I have a full time job
working in the medical field. I work 40 hours a week and still average to
dedicate about 20 hours a week to my writing.
How did you create the plot for this book?
The plot for the book is
completely fictional, while some of the relationships mirror those of people I
know personally. For instance, the relationships and bonds between the siblings
are like those between my siblings. (We meddle in each other’s lives as well.)
Also, the relationship of Angela and Jackson somewhat mirrors mine with my guy
best friend.
Which character did you most enjoy writing?
I loved all of the sisters,
Rhea, Madison, and Noel. They are all so fun, carefree, and comfortable in
their skin. They love their little brother with all their hearts, but give him
a hard time in an attempt to make him face his true feelings. They also have so
many hilarious moments when speaking to Jackson
Tell us about your favorite scene in the book.
Hands down the lines where
Jackson is angry with Milan because he thinks she is sleeping with another man.
You get to see his jealous side and her stubbornness. At that point, you get to
see exactly how deep his feelings run for her and vice versa. It’s great
because you take this once reserved man and get to see what intensity the right
woman can bring out of him.
“You don’t get to walk away
from me like that, not until you explain it to me first. I want to know how you
can be in my bed one night and in his face the next. I’m a very understanding
man, but this is where my patience wears thin. I told you I didn’t want to
share, and I meant it.”
What song would you pick to go with your book?
I’m a huge R&B fan, so I
would have to say ANYTHING by Babyface or Toni Braxton. I have a playlist I use
when I’m writing.
