What group did you hang out with in high school?
The me, myself, and I group. I was a total loser and usually would find a quiet spot to do homework. We didn’t have cell phones back then, so it was painful. I’ve never been to a high school reunion and never plan to do so. I moved around a lot. I was teased. It’s all good, though; I’m a tough cookie.
What are you passionate about these days?
Travel. We always have been. We’ve been to 30 countries, and two of my kids have surpassed me. I love that we instilled that passion in them.
If you had to do your journey to getting published all over again, what would you do differently?
I wish I had pre-scheduled my editor and finished my edit entirely before giving it to them. It was one of the biggest lessons learned from book one.
Ebook or print? And why?
Depends, mostly Ebook. It’s fast and easy, and I have it on my phone everywhere I go. Beach or pool? Book for sure; it’s hard to read an Ebook on your phone in the sun, even though I will usually find a way when I’m forced.
What is your favorite scene in this book?
Oh shoot, I can’t tell you, you’ll judge me. But let’s just say it’s dirty. ;)
“I’m done waiting around. You’re mine. No more games or pining over someone else when it’s me you want. You won’t remember his name after I get through with you.”
Lily knows exactly what she wants in life. To graduate, land a high-paying job, and forge her own way. Nothing will distract her. Until the ultimate playboy, billionaire Sebastian Dubree, barges in. Not to be overlooked, Lily’s longtime crush, Jackson, decides she’s worth the fight.
Reluctant to succumb to either, she quickly becomes a challenge to conquer.
Lily must decide between the familiarity of her childhood longing or the newly discovered passion ignited by the dominant CEO. But can she surrender without losing herself in the process, or will someone take matters into his own hands?
Boundaries blur between desire and resistance in this gripping coming-of-age romance, leaving readers yearning for more.
Enjoy an Excerpt
I hit a wall. A solid, warm wall that smells dreadfully sinful. Before I have time to process, two firm hands are on my shoulders to steady me. “Hey, watch where you’re going” comes the deepest, sexiest voice imaginable, which would be incredibly hot if the words spoken were anything other than rude and demanding. Looking up, which is crazy, considering I’m one step higher, I freeze as my eyes land on a dark, handsome god of a man who looks like he wants to commit murder. What is it with me and jerks tonight?
His eyes get bigger, and his brows furrow as soon as my shocked gaze meets his. He has short black hair that’s longer on the top and styled perfectly. His menacing eyebrows are folded downward from scowling at me. The dark scruff that shadows his face is so sexy, trimmed razor straight, accentuating his perfectly chiseled jaw. Mentally slapping myself, I apologize.
“Crap, I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you there.” He doesn’t release his hold.
“That’s because your head was down. Your eyes should be looking forward.” His voice is hard and demanding.
Flustered and—I reluctantly admit—slightly turned on by his strong, firm grip and penetrating stare, I stand there frozen in place. After what seems like minutes but I’m sure is only seconds, I snap out of it and apologize again. “Sorry, I’ll watch where I’m going from now on.” The words rush out as I pull away to leave, this time keeping my head up. I think I hear him say something else behind me, but I don’t stop. Running into one of the hottest guys I’ve seen in a while should’ve been the highlight of my night. Instead, I’m more irritated. Do all good-looking men have a license to be an ass?
