I'm working furiously to get my next standalone contemporary romance into your hot little hands by the end of the year but wanted to stop and share a snippet with you all in the meantime.
In a nutshell, Trying Sophie - as you've seen if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter - is the story of a two childhood nemeses who grow up to realize they're hot as hell for one another. Set in the world of Dublin and Irish rugby, I am utterly obsessed with Sophie and Declan's enemies-to-lovers story. I've been working on it since last November and love how the final draft is shaping up. Since you've all been so patient, I want to reward you with this little offering:
“The elevator up to our floor took forever. At least, that’s how it felt given enough time had passed to ask myself a hundred times over what the ever-loving-fuck I was doing in a hotel with Declan O’Shaughnessy. It wasn’t that I was opposed to having sex with him—clearly—but I had no idea how I’d gone from telling him “no touching, no kissing” just yesterday morning (and then reiterating those rules again less than two hours ago) to walking toward an elegant hotel room where we’d do inelegant things to one another.”
I'm so looking forward to telling you more about Declan and Sophie in the coming weeks. The cover reveal is set for early November and I am incredibly pleased with how it turned out. You're going to love it, I promise.
