Summary:
This chilling but hysterically sardonic thrill-ride is hard to put down. Smart, sexy, and deeply revelatory, it will send you on an enthralling emotional journey you won’t forget.
Fiona Turner, CEO of Fiona’s Flowers floral shop, hasn’t the time nor inclination to bother with men until she finally meets the face on the other end of the phone.
Having remained friends, she never suspected her ex-husband, Quade, would morph into a terrifying, controlling, law-bending monster.
When Fiona exhibits the first signs of wanting to move on in life, he threatens to take everything from her.
A long weekend at a conference answers all of Fiona’s questions about floral supplier, Bo Thompson, except how she can possibly have him. She’ll never know what she’s missing unless she risks everything for love.
GUEST POST:
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated or did you always just know you
wanted to be a writer?
I was that kid who loved grade school creative writing assignments, and took it as an
opportunity to make my first attempts at writing something ‘adult’. The results of that were
incredibly dark at the time; one would have expected a budding young horror writer. All of my
creative writing teachers singled me out as a future author and were vocal about that.
As one of those kids with an early-developing hippocampus, which I’ve noticed a lot of
memoir-writers have, I began forming visual memories from at least some time in my second
year of life. Always having been a detail person, I dreamed of writing a memoir…which I largely
thought of as a way to process my childhood experiences and traumas. Later in life I was
encouraged by friends to write a book about my career as an exotic dancer. I wrote multiple
drafts of that book in my head, but somehow it never felt like the right time for me to sit down
and get serious about it.
Other than writing some poetry and creating a secret stash of erotica, I really didn’t do much
with writing until several years ago when I became autoimmune and began posting a detailed
blog about my experience of having Ankylosing Spondylitis. Meanwhile, I was beginning to
pursue copywriting as a new career when I found some articles about self-publishing romance. I
then found a short story contest put on by Romance Writers of America and decided to enter it.
It required 5,000 words and the deadline was in three days. I sat and tried my hand at romance
writing for the first time, hacked out and completely edited a beautiful story, and had it submitted
on time…only to shortly receive an announcement that the contest had been canceled.
Petals for Kaya, my short story, launched me into a new reality in which I was aware I could
write my heart out on the subject of romance, and do it within suffocating time constraints if
necessary. So I simply sat down and began writing my first romance novel, simultaneously
researching the self-pub process and reading one romance novel after another.
What you’ll find funny is that I’d always been a memoir reader. Bridges of Madison County was
literally the only romance novel I’d ever read at the point I started writing them a couple years
ago, so I’ve really learned on the fly.
Author Bio:
Raised in the South and transplanted to a midwestern New Age community, Roxy Blue writes about the types of down-to-earth characters that dispel the notion of romance being rubbish. After thirteen years as an exotic dancer, she developed a rare autoimmune arthritis that gave her an excuse to settle down and focus more on writing, although she still hoopdances and hikes on the good days. Roxy lives in Asheville, NC with the kind of hunk she likes to read about, and their two ridiculous cats.
