Born the second son, Prince Nicholai lived as the spare until his

He doesn't have one. But what he does have is a secret obsession
with the woman he met on vacation.

becomes impossible to resist. Giving into temptation, their

their love is strong enough for a fairy tale ending, or if their
pasts will continue to dictate their future.

Q&A

1. Introduction/ What inspired you to start writing? I started writing when the pandemic hit in early 2020. With the world shutting down and the news feeling overwhelmingly dark, I needed a new creative outlet. Something that I could do at home and that would bring a little joy into my life. Writing romance became that escape. There's something so comforting in the predictability of the genre. No matter what hardships the characters face, they always find their happily ever after. Once I started, I realized how much I loved dreaming up these characters and bringing their stories to life. One book turned into two, then three… and I just never stopped.

2. Can you tell us about the challenges or surprises you faced while writing The Pitfalls of Dating a Prince? Whew, so about two weeks before I sent Pitfalls out to ARC readers, I woke up in the middle of the night with the sinking realization that I needed to do a major revision. There was one part of the story that just wasn't sitting right with me, so I changed the outcome of one of the plotlines. It was a chaotic week of revisions, but I think the story came out for the better. (But I hope I never do that to myself again!)

3. How do you handle writer's block or creative slumps? My brain is very ADHD, so to deal with creative slumps, I tend to bounce around between projects. As soon as I begin to feel my interest in a project waning, I pause and shift to a different one. I find this distance helpful because when I pick up an older project again, it feels like I'm looking at it with new eyes. I'm able to see plot holes and weak points more easily. At any one time, I have between two and five books in various stages of development. This way of working probably isn't for most people, but it works for me. 

4. Do you have a favorite character you've written? If so, what makes them special to you? My favorite character that I've written so far... that's a tough one--like asking a mother to pick her favorite child! But if I have to pick, I'd go with Brooke Michaels, who is the female main character from my Saints & Sinners duet (Good Girl Gone Bad and Bad Boy Gone Good) which is coming out at the end of the year. Brooke starts out as a sheltered, innocent ingénue, someone who's never broken out of the mold her parents built for her, but over the course of the books, she taps into her intelligence and strength and starts living life on her terms. And it doesn't hurt that she falls in love with the sexy bad boy either! 

5. If you could co-author a book with any writer, living or dead, who would it be? Before I fell in love with reading and writing romance, mysteries were my genre of choice. One day, I'd love to try my hand at writing one, so if I could co-write a book with anyone, I'd choose the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie. I'm in awe of how she crafted stories that were both believable and nearly impossible to solve. There's a reason why her books continue to be bestsellers! (And yes, I'd absolutely ask her about what really happened during those infamous 11 days...)

6. What’s next for you as an author? Are there any upcoming projects or ideas you’re excited about? Next up is the third book in the Love in the Limelight series, Every Now and Then. Currently, I'm finishing final edits, so I can get it out to beta readers in the next few weeks. After that, I'm excited to get back to work on finishing up a sports romance book that I've been working on but have yet to finish.
