Synopsis:
There comes a moment in everyone's life when they must decide which road leads to personal happiness. For Dylan Silver, this is that moment...
For the past twenty-two-years, Dylan has been living in her parents' carefully crafted world, always putting her own dreams on hold to play the role of a dutiful daughter.
So when her best friend coaxes her into a winter getaway to a mountain cabin, she sees it as a chance to forget about the responsibilities waiting for her at home. At least for a little while.
But then her past catches up to her--in the form of sexy snowboarder, Sawyer Carter.
Six years ago, Dylan bid goodbye to the only boy she ever truly loved. Now he's standing right in front of her, bringing up bittersweet memories and igniting suppressed desires as he dares her to be the person she has always wanted to be.
Dylan and Sawyer's unexpected meeting is a second chance, but will a girl who doesn't believe in fate and taking risks be able to overcome her fears of losing control and finally embrace the life she desperately wants?
Only one thing is certain: after a week in Whistler, Dylan's world will never be the same.

AUTHOR BIO

Victoria Green is a New Adult author who enjoys writing about unspoken love and second chances. She’s a travel junkie and a huge photography enthusiast. Her experience growing up a war-torn country has helped teach her the importance of living life to the fullest and appreciating every single day. She believes in true love, good chocolate, and great books. She lives in Canada with her high school sweetheart (though he's graduated to a fiancé now) and their pack of puppies, and also writes Young Adult novels under a different name.
Who is your favorite Silver Heart character and why?
Probably Sawyer. I seldom crush on my characters—I tend to
love them all platonically, but he was special. I love the various layers of
his personality—from the sweet to the sexy and everything in between. While I
tend to go for NA “bad boys” (who doesn’t?), I wanted to take Sawyer in a
different direction that may perhaps be somewhat atypical. I didn’t want to
write him using any kind of formula. In turn, this made him much more “real” to
me. I’m already midway through writing a new book with a very intense new
hottie, so I need to enjoy Sawyer while I still can.
I also love Maddie. I was initially worried that the readers
would find her a little too “out there”, but my Betas quickly came back with
“WE LOVE MADDIE!” notes, and my readers have responded similarly. I’m so happy
that her character came out exactly how I intended her—she’s wild, carefree,
and lives life in the moment. But she’s also fiercely loyal, kind, and intuitive.
However, as a character, I think she still has a lot of growing to do. After
graduating high school, she hit the road and never looked back. Yes, she’s
achieved things in her career, but I would love to see how Maddie handles a
more serious life situation. In fact, I’ve already plotted out her story, and
it has made me cry. Many times! If there is reader demand, I’m thinking about
moving it up on my book cue and releasing it ahead of some other planned
releases.
Of course, Dylan is also very dear to my heart. Being the
main character, she has the most maturing to do. She has been trained to follow
her parents’ dreams and be a perfect daughter to a point where she lost some
pieces of herself. She’s also feeling guilty about the fact that she’s
questioning her happiness, when she should be thankful for things like good
health and financial security. I think one of the biggest lessons she has to
learn throughout the book is that sometimes it’s good to let go and listen to
your heart instead of your brain.
What type of reader
would you recommend Silver Heart to?
Silver Heart is a
New Adult Contemporary Romance, perfect for readers who enjoy sweet, sexy
love/friendship stories. It contains some foul language and it features certain
sexual situations, so reader discretion is advised. If you’re looking to heat
up your summer or warm your heart on a cold winter day, snuggle up to Sawyer.
What is your next
project going to be about and when will it be released?
My next book, Crimson
Road, is a story about a guy and a girl who don’t get along, but due to
unforeseen circumstances, get stuck on a road trip together. It’s also a NA
Contemporary Romance, but there is a bit of mystery incorporated into the
story. It’s almost opposite of Silver
Heart, because it’s about a couple who dislike each other due to their past
connection, so that will be fun to explore! It should be out in November, 2013.
I also have some YA projects to get ready to release, so it’s going to be a
busy end of the year!
