All work and
no play may make Jill a dull girl, but it helped Emma Rose soar professionally.
It left no time for a romantic life, but that was a tradeoff she was willing to
make. So, when Emma comes back home for a work opportunity, she decides to keep
that same philosophy.
That’s all
good and well until she meets Roman Thorne. Try as she might to resist him,
they end up starting a secret fling. Things get complicated when they find out
they’re from rival families.
Do they
continue the illicit affair or break it off? Can they really go from enemies to
lovers? What happens if they start to develop real feelings? Or if their
families find out? Her mother is already hypercritical of every decision she
makes. Not to mention another man comes into the picture to vie for her
affection.
Emma will
have to do everything she can to keep this relationship from being a thorn in
her side.

What would you like readers to take
away from your book?
I would like
readers to realize that love can come from anywhere when you least expect it,
and it will enhance your life, not take away from it.
Which character did you have the most
fun writing about?
Nita. She’s
fun-loving and takes no crap from anyone. Plus, she’s fiercely loyal and
provides the comic relief. And you might be seeing a lot more of her. Or rather
reading.
What do you think the future of AA
romances will be?
I think the
genre is only growing and growing. It will be where paranormal romance is,
where everyone can’t get enough.
What advice would you offer to
someone whose book is about to be released?
Just relax.
There’s an audience for your book. Don’t fret about numbers. Write the next
book.
What three literary events would you
recommend a writer in your genre attend?
The RWA
Conference is probably the standard. Book Lovers Con. And it’s not strictly
literary, but Essence Fest.
What literary event can we find you
this year?
There aren’t
any on my calendar at the moment, but maybe you’ll see me at some in 2020.
Who was the first author you ever
met?
This sounds
bad, but I don’t remember. I met a lot of authors in college.
What’s the most interesting change in
your life as a result of being a published author?
I’ve become
more committed than ever to the business of publishing. I’ve also become more
confident as a writer. There’s just something awesome about being a published
author.
What has surprised you most about
being a published author?
People
actually want to read my book.
What about writing do you wish non
writers would understand?
The words
don’t magically appear on the page. It takes time and effort. Each sentence is
carefully crafted to provide the best reading experience.
Can you give us one do and one don't
for those aspiring to be an author?
Do keep
writing. Don’t beat yourself up if you miss a day or two.
What advice would you offer for
someone who is having a hard time finishing the book?
Take it one
word at a time. Take a break if necessary, work on something else. Also, try
acting out the scenes. It may help you to put them into words.
When you're not writing, what do you
like to do in your spare time?
Read and
watch TV. Occasionally go out. I’m boring.
Oprah always asks, what do you know
for sure?
Writers
write. It’s the only truth they know.
Any last words for our readers?
You really
are the backbone of this industry. You keep us writing.
