What are some of your favorite romance tropes? I’m not a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope, or stories in which the hero and heroine are on the opposite side of a conflict for most of a book. In TURN TO ME, the hero and heroine work together toward a common goal. In Turn to Me, the romance dominates those other elements. But first and foremost, I consider myself to be a romance writer.

There's definitely a blend of romance and mystery with a dash of suspense thrown in.

Luke's an irritable bad boy hero type and Finley's an idealistic, Boho animal lover.īecause there’s some treasure hunting in this story, is there a mix of romance and suspense? Or does one dominate the story more than the other? Grump and sunshine! I had a ball writing these two. How would you describe the dynamic between Luke and Finley? He's cynical and withdrawn but he's also dead set on never breaking another law. When Turn to Me begins, he's been out for a few months. Two, because I wanted prison to serve as his motivation to get his life in order. One, because I wanted the challenge of prison to toughen him. I had that path end with a stint in prison for two reasons: That trauma sent him on a reckless and self-destructive path. Luke tried to save him, couldn't, and then blamed himself for Ethan's death. Luke's younger brother died when Luke was 14. What made you decide on a hero with that history? It made me smile countless times.Luke Dempsey, your hero in TURN TO ME, is a man who’s been to prison. It was hilariously funny, heartwarming, and too cute! I laughed. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend?

A glimmer of the hope he'd thought he'd lost returns, but fears and regrets still plague him. Against Jake's will, Lyndie's sparkling, optimistic personality begins to tear down the walls he's built around his heart. Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them together. Jake pairs her with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in results, hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion's reluctance to run. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. When Lyndie James, Jake's childhood best friend, lands back in Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his Thoroughbreds. He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a solitary life, and avoids relationships. Former Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that marks his face.
