As I near that fifty published novels milestone, I thought it might be fun to feature a few of those already published and make a note of what I loved (or didn’t enjoy so much) about writing a particular book.
A Stranger She Can Trust originally published in May 2017, was on my mind a loooong time before the characters ever made it to the page. I’d been wanting to write an amnesia story and just didn’t have the rest of the pieces that could make it fit.
But when my new series, Escape Club Heroes, came around thanks to a multi-book deal with Harlequin Romantic Suspense, it was the perfect vehicle for this story:
From the back cover: Outside of one of Philadelphia’s busiest nightclubs, a woman stumbles from her taxi. Beaten and bruised, Melissa Baxter is an amnesiac with a target on her back. Gun-shy, Melissa relies on a handsome hero to help her uncover who she really is.
Carson Lane—a paramedic with his own dark history—can’t help but bring this beautiful, vulnerable woman under his wing. Still reeling from his partner’s murder, he’s no stranger to risk. But as he and Melissa begin unraveling the mystery of who she really is, Carson realizes falling in love could be the biggest risk of all.
One of my favorite parts of crafting this book was researching Philadelphia, particularly some behind the scenes facts about the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This book also received a 5/5 spoon review from Books and Spoons, which is a huge accomplishment and set me on a high for days!
