A modern day woman shouldn’t have to marry for convenience to
protect the identity of her daughter. So how exactly does Kelly Mancer find herself
exactly in that situation? She doesn’t want a man. Any man. Danger has a way of
changing a woman’s mind.
Alex Gentry needs Kelly, but convincing her to help him pluck
his younger sister from a dangerous enemy would not be easy. Soon the tables turn
and Kelly becomes the prey. Alex may save his sister, but at what cost?

About the Character
Name: Kelly Mancer
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Dallas,
Texas
Profession: Bookstore clerk
Ethnicity/Species (if not human):
Describe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight. Include
any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: slight build, olive complexion,
tiger-like eyes, long, black, thick, straight hair.
Who is the significant
other in your character’s life?
Alex Gentry
Does she scrape by, live
comfortably, live extravagantly?
Kelly lives frugally. She scrapes by due to circumstances beyond
her control. She doesn’t ask for much, and she certainly doesn’t expect much.
Does she have children?
Kelly has been blessed with a most precocious five year old daughter,
who is much too old for her age. The child tends to spout out the most inappropriate
words believing no one hears them, until Alex Gentry finally enlightens her. Her
response? “Are you gonna tell on me?”
What past event causes
your character the most fear?
The corporation Kelly originally worked for was the target of
a major takeover by Gentry Acquisitions. When Alex Gentry (lead takeover) had to
leave town for a meeting on a Friday afternoon just before the end of the merger,
it left Kelly in a vulnerable situation that not only caught her by surprise but
changed her life dramatically.
What is your character’s
biggest need at the beginning of the story?
To provide for her daughter, Taylor; keep her safe.
What is your hero’s biggest
hopes and dreams?
She doesn’t want much. Perhaps a small house with a big enough
bathroom to accommodate a bathtub with large clawed feet.
When (if) he lies or is
upset, what gives him away?
What a most apropos question. This whole story is based on the
lies connected between all the players. Why does Alex insist Kelly and he marry?
In current times, marriage is not a criteria to have children. In their case, however,
the crux is much more crucial.
About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.
Was there anything your
writer discovered about you that was a surprise to one or both of you?
Not so much about me, specifically, as Taylor. Taylor
must have given her fits on more than one occasion. She set Alex on his heels too.
It was a most entertaining journey.
Why do you think your
writer loves to write?
I believe she truly loves to write. In some cases the words have
flowed from her fingers to the keyboard in a most impressive fashion. Just ask Lorianne
of Maybe It’s You, the previous Bloomington Series story. She wrote it in four months.
What do you wish your
writer would write next?
Well, I wish she complete book four, Little Kenny’s story. He
has a fascinating history. I know she has a really strong start.
Is there anything you’d
like to say to your writer?
Thank you so much for bringing Alex and me back together. I couldn’t
have chosen a more perfect father for Taylor.
Now, if only his mother would respect our boundaries regarding a dog.
