Lisabet, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about The Understudy: Acts of Submission.

The Understudy: Acts of Submission by Lisabet Sarai

Genre Contemporary BDSM Erotic Romance

Heat level (based on movie ratings) X

When the Berks Hills Summer Playhouse offered me my first real acting job, I never expected to share a stage with theater legend Geoffrey Hart – let alone his bed. Nothing in my education or experience prepared me for the paradoxical pleasures of submission.

Now I’m devoted to my master, for better or worse. According to the rumors, though, Geoff’s heart is taken. Dumped by his long-time sub, he has escaped to the Berkshires to lick his emotional wounds. Geoffrey’s dark games arouse me beyond belief, but I fear I’m just a substitute for the real object of his affections. Am I willing to settle for the role of understudy in this perverse passion play?

Note: This book was previously published by Totally Bound. It has been revised, expanded and re-edited for this release.

Know the Heroine from The Understudy: Acts of Submission

Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.

It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?

Sarah Gladstone is not the type to be bored. She’s an over-achiever, always working to perfect her acting craft. If it were late, but she couldn’t sleep, she probably would be reviewing her lines for the next day’s performance. That is, unless Geoffrey Hart were down the hall in his room. Then she’d be fantasizing about him, trying to resist knocking on his door when he hadn’t summoned her.

What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

If she could get some trail mix – preferably organic – she’d be ecstatic. But she’s not picky about food. You can’t afford to be when you’re an actress.

Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

Left to her own devices, she prefers to dress casually, in jeans and button-up shirts. However, Geoff has ordered her to wear only skirts or dresses – with no brassiere or underwear beneath.

Does she know how to fix things?

She’s an only child, and her parents spoiled her, so she hasn’t really had the opportunity to learn how to fix things. However, she’s intelligent and independent, so she probably could figure it out.

She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

Sarah’s hard on herself. For instance, at her first New York audition, the director changed the play he wanted her to read at the last minute. She’d spent hours studying up “The Importance of Being Ernest”, then got asked to read from “Salome”. Even without preparation, she didn’t do too badly, but she was a bit flustered and didn’t get the part. Instead of blaming the director, she blamed herself. Fortunately, she knows the acting business is tough, so she didn’t dwell on the situation, just resolved to do better next time.

How does she act around children she doesn’t know?

Sarah loves kids. She always wanted a brother or sister, and was jealous of her friends from large families.

What is she like first thing in the morning?

She’s a morning person, no question. Even when she’s spent half the night with her lover, she can be out of bed, showered and dressed in fifteen minutes. However, she definitely needs a decent breakfast, or she’ll get drowsy by mid-morning.

Can she use chopsticks?

She’s from New York. She was practically born using chopsticks!

Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?

Sarah drinks coffee in moderation, mostly in the morning She takes it black with a bit of sugar.

What apps would she have on her phone?

Her most often used apps include her ebook reading app, dictionary apps, and a Scrabble game. She also has a sketchpad/drawing app that she uses to relax.

Android or iPhone?

Android. Actually, her parents tried to buy her an iPhone, but she refused.

Earrings or unpierced ears?

Sarah has pierced ears, but doesn’t always wear earrings. When she does, they tend to be inconspicuous, e.g. small gold hoops.

Tattoos or unadorned skin?

She’d never consider a tattoo, since it might conflict with some character she had to play. However, if Geoffrey wanted to permanently mark her as his, she might agree. It’s a toss-up – despite her devotion to her master, her acting career is still incredibly important to her. Of course, Geoffrey will understand this, and not ask her to do anything that might interfere.

Personal vehicle or public transport?

As I mentioned earlier, Sarah grew up in New York City, so she’ll use public transport if it’s available. She does have a driver’s license, and will rent a car and drive if necessary.

Recycle or toss?

Recycle. Of course! Sarah would be annoyed that anyone even asked that question!

Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!
