STAND ALONE CONTEMPORARY BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE
Billionaire heiress Emma Devaroux has been living a safe-yet-mundane existence in Georgia for too long, but when she learns her sister, Joslyn, has been arrested, she heads to New York City to find out what really happened. Unfortunately, as an unemployed debutante, she’s not exactly qualified to be leading an investigation. But help is at hand in the form of the handsome, former military man Jace Lance who happens to be the one who got her sister arrested in the first place.
Jace thinks Emma is crazy for even considering working with him since he’s the one who stopped Joslyn from killing his former client. However, he can’t deny that the sexy southerner is in over her head when her tycoon cousins try to hire him to make sure Emma doesn’t find out the truth about what really caused her sister’s murderous actions.
As they begin to uncover the truth together –and get to know each other intimately – it becomes clear that the more answers they get, the more danger Emma is in. Jace is determined to protect her, but how can he keep her safe when her whole family is in on the conspiracy?

EXCERPT
“Are you okay?”
Another shiver racked through her.
“No. I’m cold and pissed.”
Her Southern accent was more
noticeable in her anger and he cracked a small smile. “You have seaweed in your
hair.” He plucked it out and tossed it back into the black water.
Emma set her hands on his chest and
pushed up. “Do you have any idea how much seaweed was down there? It was
disgusting! I thought it was going to grab me and pull me down.”
Jace had swum through his fair share
of seaweed-infested water and he knew exactly how disconcerting it could be.
But he couldn’t stop himself from giving her a hard time. “Come on. You’re not
saying a little old plant scared you?”
She gave him a playful punch to his
chest. “You’re such a show-off. I can’t believe that you made it all the way
out there without an issue and I took two steps and fell in.” She glanced to
her left and rolled her eyes. “Not even your phone fell in after all that!”
Jace let out a laugh and caught her
wrist as she went in for another blow. “Hey, I’m not going to apologize for
being good at what I do. I walked on the edge closer to the support. You ran
out right onto the weakest part of the planks.”
Emma stared down at him and in a
flash, the joking air was gone, replaced by something decidedly hotter than the
ocean water that now soaked through their clothes. “I guess I hired the best,”
she said softly.

INTERVIEW
Tell us
about your first book. What would readers find different about the first one
and your most recent published work?
My first published book is Book One in the Billionaires In The
City series. I’d say the biggest difference would be that with each manuscript
I write, I have (unintentionally) ramped up the suspense. I love a very strong
external conflict and nothing is sexier than a protective guy, so the
danger aspect of the books have
increased with each new one. I don’t think I’d call TRUSTING full on romantic
suspense, but there is an element of danger added for sure.
How did
you come up with the idea for this story?
Well this was a character built story. Jace was a small side
character in TEMPTING THE BOSS and I liked the idea of giving this badass guy
more to do and I needed a woman who could handle him, but also was in need of
his skills in some way. So in creating a heroine for him, I ended up creating
this entire family that the next four books are going to be based around.
Tell us
something that people would be surprised you know how to do.
Well before I started writing, I was a licensed CPA and passed
all sections of the exam in one try and I don’t think most people expect
accounting and romance author to go together in one person. I’ve met so many
fellow romance writers who have the most interesting backgrounds or former day
jobs. It’s fascinating when you realize that creativity isn’t only limited to
certain types of people.
