Lucien
Marvaine never thought he was good enough for Katherine. As the
younger son of an earl, he didn’t have a title or prospects. Then
fate steps in and gives him a second chance, and this new Earl of
Roxbury is determined to make the beautiful Kate his own . . . one
touch . . . one kiss at a time.
Katherine
never thought of herself as a temptress, certainly not with Lucien.
Why, she’s known him almost all her life! Yet as she waltzes in
Lucien’s arms at the Kingsborough Ball, she can’t help but be
drawn to him. Has he always been this hard and masculine? And where
did those dimples come from? Kate is not looking for a husband . . .
but how can she not surrender to Lucien’s charms when love is at
stake?

Interview:
Where are
you from?
I was born
in Denmark, grew up in Spain and have since lived in France, Ghana and the US.
Tell us
your latest news?
I’ve
recently handed in the first book in a new and exciting series along with a
novella which I’m hoping will go on sale later this year.
When and
why did you begin writing?
It’s
something I’ve always wanted to try doing so when I eventually made the decision
to complete an actual novel I think it was largely to prove to myself that I
was capable of achieving that goal.
When did
you first consider yourself a writer?
When I held
the first paperback copy of How Miss Rutherford Got Her Groove Back in my hands.
That made it real.
What
inspired you to write your first book?
Reading
Julia Quinn’s Romancing Mr. Bridgerton and falling in love with her sense of
humor.
Do you have
a specific writing style?
I would
have to say light and visual.
How did you
come up with the title?
It was a
joint effort with the wonderful people at Avon. We pretty much brainstormed
strong verbs and adverbs in order to make it match the titles of the previous
books in the series – a challenge since it also had to reflect the plot of the book.
Is there a
message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Yes. In
this book I decided to explore self-esteem issues, how hurtful and damaging
negative remarks can be, the lingering effects of such remarks and how
difficult it can be for a person to overcome the hang-ups that develop as a
result.
How much of
the book is realistic?
Hmm…good
question. I think the romance between the hero and heroine is realistic. Not
sure how likely it is for them to be hunted by a villain or for the heroine to
get kidnapped but it certainly makes a more exciting read =)
Are
experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
While a
large portion of it is pure fabrication I always add elements from my own life
and experiences to my books. This is especially true of the food and settings
though I also like to offer my own opinions on various topics in some of the
dialogue.
What books
have most influenced your life most?
There
are so many, but one of my favorites is definitely The Little Prince by Antoine
de Saint-Exupéry
What would
you like my readers to know?
Each book
in the Kingsborough Ball is loosely based on a fairy tale. In The Danger In
Tempting An Earl, I had Beauty And The Beast in mind, even though it’s very
subtle and the scars lie beneath the surface.
