What if
following your heart means failing your family? Eila Sood leaves India for the
U.S., hoping to unite her family and mend fences with her estranged older
sister. She soon learns that her sister’s intercultural marriage, which
outraged their parents, has hit rock bottom. To help pay the bills, Eila
accepts an accounting job at a strip club, working for the fascinating yet
infuriating Brett Wright. As their friendship and mutual desire builds, Eila
chooses keeping family peace over following her heart. After Brett
misinterprets her fears and accuses Eila of prejudice, his ex-girlfriend steps
in to offer solace. Eila realizes that whichever choice she makes will rip her
life apart. What will Eila choose? Love of her life or a life ruled by
tradition? Fall in love with love, in this steamy saga from a best selling
romance author.
Q: Can you describe your
dream home?
A: My dream home will have a backyard
with a view of the city, a pool with a waterfall, lots of reading nooks, a big
fat library and my office wall will be covered with pictures of family and
friends.
Q: If we were to come to your
house for a meal, what would you give us to eat?
A: Some Indian dishes. I can
whip up some mean Indian food.
Q: Tell us about the absolute
BEST fan letter you have received.
A: I am blessed to have
received a few of those. However the absolute BEST was the one in which a reader
shared that she had read my debut book 47 times or something close to that
number. She made me feel like a rockstar,
a very humble rockstar.
Q; Say your publisher has
offered to fly you anywhere in the world to do research on an upcoming book,
where would you most likely want to go?
A: Scotland.
Q: Who designed the book
cover for the book you are touring?
A: Lyndsey Lewellen. Is amazing
designer she nailed the cover for me. I was blessed to find her.
EXCERPT:
Eila
hurriedly shifted further into the wall, giving him more room to walk by. He
didn’t.
“Hold
on,” Eila shot to Megan. Turning the phone away from her, she hissed, “What?”
“You’re
blocking the way,” he shot back, coolly.
“No,
I’m not.” Eila gestured with her free hand.
The
ogre moved nearer. Eila had to tilt her chin to meet his eyes fully.
“This
is a passageway,” he stated.
“I
don’t see a sign saying I can’t talk here!” Eila gave him a haughty look.
Unexpectedly
the ogre leaned forward, bringing his mouth next to her forehead. “What is with
you and signs?” he whispered, his blue eyes positively gleaming.
Eila
felt his breath stir some sensitive spots. Uneasily, she shifted to the side
trying to put some distance between them.
“Can
you just leave?” she demanded. “Sorry.” The ogre looked anything but
apologetic. “I gave you a few minutes, but going by the advice you are shelling
out on the phone, it’s looking to be a long conversation.”
“You
were eavesdropping?”
The
Ogre shrugged his shoulders. “If you were expecting privacy, you should not
talk in a passageway.”
“What is with you and the word passageway?”
Eila mimicked him. “Is passageway your first name or last?”
His
rejoinder was quick. “If you want to know my name just ask.”
“Don’t flatter yourself. My only point being-”
“What
do I wear? Hello?” Megan was now shouting loud enough for even the Ogre to
hear. For a second his expression was perplexed and then he muttered something
under his breath. Eila only caught “…brings out weirdoes.”
A
loose strand of her hair tickled her chin. Eila raised a hand to brush it off
her face carelessly.
Unseen
by her, the blue-eyed ogre let his raised hand fall. He experienced a quick
pang of disappointment. His fingers were itching to know the texture of her
skin. The girl in front of him maddened him. Tonight, the moment he had seen
her in the bar she had become his sole point of focus.
He
thought, who knows, if we keep bumping into each other like this, she might
trip straight into my arms. And I will catch her and join that sexy mouth of
hers with mine. The ogre swung his head as if to break his mind free of such
fantasies.
