Atlas is about to announce the convenient wedding that will secure his inheritance. However, once paparazzi photos of his and Stella’s heated encounter go public, Atlas is left short a bride. The only answer?
Make Stella his wife! But are his diamond and their dangerous passion enough to bridge the gap between their very different worlds?
Do you have any writing habits?
I write pretty much every day. I prefer to write in the morning so it’s very much my habit to check email while I eat my muesli then start writing with my first cup of coffee. I tend to book appointments in the afternoon so I can invariably be found at my desk every single morning, even on weekends.
Did you face any challenges while you were writing this story?
I initially wrote the heroine too young when the book opened. I couldn’t make the story gel until I realized she had to be eighteen.
Tell us about your book...
I had so much fun with this one. I love how independent Stella is. She ran away from home to get away from a forced marriage and really knows how to look after herself.
Atlas is the illegitimate son of a stuffy British aristocrat, was once a gold-medal swimmer, and was also an underwear model (briefly, haha.) He falls for Stella pretty quickly, but as with many of my heroes, he’s too oblivious to realize that’s what’s going on for him. Instead, as with many of my heroes, he ruins her life, saves her, then is ruined by his love for her.
Fun fact: his troublesome half-sister, Carmel, was so much fun to write I gave her a secret marriage and you’ll see her story, The Greek’s Wife Returns, come out in July.
