Lost on Anna Maria Island

Genre Contemporary
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Florida Warriors star defensive end, Colby Sullivan, is the best in the business, but since his parents dropped the news that he not only had a biological sister but a biological twin sister, he’s been on his heels. He feels like he’s in the middle of a cover defense with no one backing him on the strong side. Colby knows, as the eldest, it is his job to keep the family going, but he can’t figure out what all this means to him with the daily interruptions from either his well-meaning parents or his rallying brothers. A flirtation with the girl next door is the perfect distraction, but all too soon she’s way past his defenses and heading for a touchdown that his heart just isn’t ready for.
Between her baby sister’s wedding and her job rehabbing Colby’s image, Madalyn Hunter is holding on by a thread. Mad understands football, cover defenses, and option offenses, but dealing with sneaky paparazzi, her sister’s obsession with the perfect wedding, and Colby’s not-friend-like kisses has her ready to throw a Hail Mary. The more time she spends with Colby, the harder it is to resist the gorgeous man who has always been her best friend. It’s fourth and goal with love on the line, but can Madalyn teach this star defender that the best way to protect his heart is to give it to her?
Why did you write this book?
I was approached by Elley Arden to work together on a continuity about a family in the sports world. The sons of a famous sports personality, famous in their own right, are thrown by a long-held secret. In my book Colby, the eldest, must wrestle not only with what this secret means for him, but how it colors his view of the father he’s looked up to, and at the same time, he’s been having not-friendly thoughts about his best friend, Madalyn. So there is all this emotion and angst and romance – it was such a fun story to write!
What is your favorite genre to read?
It mostly depends on my mood, although I’ll never turn down a contemporary romance! I’ve been really into romantic suspense lately.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Gosh, there are so many! I adore Westley from The Princess Bride, and I have yet to meet a hero (or heroine) of Nora Roberts’ that I don’t love, but right now, my favorite fictional character is Holly from Jane Porter’s The Frog Prince. Her vulnerability and strength is amazing!
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m working on a new series – which remains untitled right now! – and a women’s fiction project that I hope to be able to share a bit more about very soon!
