Bride of Danger

Mylene and Johnny realize their destiny here and share an impassioned love

This was my fourth book in four years and I was tired. I had a deadline. So I wrote something I wasn’t entirely satisfied with and turned it in. My editor called me on it. The only thing she really liked was the hero’s back story. So I scrapped the book, took the back story, re-set it in England and Ireland, and started all over again. I began to imagine an epic love scene in the mighty shadow of Stonehenge. Irish spies undercover in London, a grand adventure of loyalty and betrayal. And suddenly I found my passion once more.

My characters leapt off the page. The scenes began to sizzle. My editor loved it. So did my readers. It became my best-selling book to date. I learned from Johnny and Mylene’s story that an author must always seek the magic and write from the heart. It was a lesson I never forgot.
