If you could apologize to someone in your past, who would it be?
My father-in-law. I would have spent more time with him while he was with us. Lesson learned: It’s not wise to consistently think you’ll have time later.
If you could keep a mythical/ paranormal creature as a pet, what would you have?
A unicorn, simply because they are magical!
How do you keep your writing different from all the others that write in this particular genre?
I’m blending traditional romance and women’s fiction with new age spirituality. My stories include romance, family drama, and conflict as well as new age concepts like the power of now, the Law of Attraction, gratitude, etc.
What are the best and worst pieces of writing advice you ever received?
Best: New give up!
Worst: Follow all the rules…Thinking outside the lines is what makes us unique!
Are the experiences in this book based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
The experiences in The Perfect Lap are all fictional, although I have used personal events in other stories. For example, my motorcycle accident was the inspiration for my women’s fiction novel, Cloud Whispers, and the accident in the story is very similar to what I experienced.
I get ideas for characters and plots from a variety of sources. One thing is for sure…I’m always observing and listening to others—friends, family, and even strangers—to pick up ideas for new stories.
His job is to drive fast. Hers is to put the brakes on him. When sparks fly, will love cross the finish line?
AJ Ryan is a publicity nightmare. After a questionable photo surfaces and his biggest sponsor threatens to pull out, the NASCAR champion admits it might be time to hit the brakes. Thankfully, his new no-nonsense image consultant knows just where to start… too bad she revs his engine so loudly he can barely think straight.
Ella Fisher’s career is a welcome distraction from her poor taste in men. Fresh off another easily avoidable heartbreak, rehabbing AJ’s career is just the diversion she needs. But when the pulse-pounding client actually listens to her advice, Ella wonders if there’s more to the man behind the hot mess.
When Ella is granted guardianship of three boisterous children under the misconception that she and AJ are a couple, AJ surprises her by going along with the charade. Before long they find themselves in a make-shift family that feels more real than pretend.
As their professional relationship takes a hard turn for the personal, a single overheard conversation could make it all go up in flames. Will Ella and AJ’s romance hit the wall, or will love take the checkered flag?
The Perfect Lap is the second standalone novel in the Racing Hearts of Serenity romance series. If you like bad boys with a heart of gold, strong women, and love stories with a new age twist, then you’ll adore Sedona Hutton’s fun, sexy tale.
Enjoy an Excerpt
“I bet you have a beautiful smile,” he drawled, then lowered his mouth to hers.
She should have pulled away—she didn’t know this man from Adam. But everything inside her protested. After gazing into each other’s eyes, she felt like she knew him intimately.
His lips were warm and tingly, his kiss pure perfection…and he drew back way too quickly. He blinked those deep blue eyes and gave her a lazy grin. “I knew it.” He rubbed the pad of his thumb over her lower lip. “Beautiful.”
That’s when she realized she was smiling.
He rose, and she gave him a quick once over, taking in the sexy stubble on his face, the taut muscles of his chest, his lean physique. As good old-fashioned lust rolled through her like a quick-moving thunderstorm, she silently bemoaned her situation. This was a hell of a time to have a newly implemented man-ban.
“Keep smiling.” Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he winked at her. “It suits you,” he added in that low, sexy drawl. Then he sauntered off.
Her breath caught as she spun around to gape at him. He’d just kissed her and now he was leaving? She contemplated calling him back, then reconsidered. She had other fish to fry.
Even so, she couldn’t stop herself from tracking his every move as he swaggered toward the party, his backside looking every bit as fine as the rest of him. Pressing a hand to her chest, she let out a slow exhale. Even though she was one-hundred percent committed to her man-ban, she could admit—at least to herself—that the sexy, charming stranger had intrigued her.
