Don’t you
just love Mothers Day? A chance for the kids to make you breakfast, the hubby
to clean the kitchen after they finish, and a valid reason to be lazy – very lazy
– all day?
My lazy day
includes a four-hour “alone time” for me to rewrite a story I’d published with
a small press that recently closed. I’m going to self-publish it, and I’ve very
excited.
The
original name of the book was Secret Vegas Lives, and here’s the book blurb:
Antonio Daniato is a best-selling novelist, but
he hides an addiction to a decadent nightlife. When he receives a letter
demanding money in exchange for keeping his secret, he sets a trap to catch the
blackmailer and is surprised when beautiful psychologist Valerie Kane falls
into his arms.
Terrified, Valerie swears she’s not the
blackmailer, but refuses to disclose the reason she’s there. Antonio already
knows her secret, and he’s captivated by her integrity, and shaken by the force
of his desire for her. He schemes his way into her life, intent on seduction.
Valerie’s sheltered past did not prepare her
for a man like Antonio, and she can’t resist the temptation. Despite their
mutual distrust, they surrender to intense attraction, and she finds herself
falling for the Harley-riding bad boy. When Antonio’s desire for Valerie
becomes something deeper, he fears her reaction if she ever discovered his
secret life. But that life—it’s something he can’t stop.
Seeing him struggle to break free from his
secret addiction, Valerie risks her reputation and her family’s approval to
help him, but he will not confide in her. When she stumbles onto Antonio’s
decadent secret, she must choose to let him go, or fight for him against an obsession
that may be stronger than their love.

Rereading
the book, I remember why I loved this story so much. Antonio is a troubled
soul, Valerie is a woman trying to find her own way in the world, despite her
family’s interference. And it’s big, long one! Over 100,000 words, which is 400
pages in paperback. There are secondary characters who get their own romance,
and even a hint of the hero in the next book in the series, Antonio’s brother,
Dante.
I’m
thrilled to be able to resurrect this book, and I’m hoping to have it published
by the end of the month. Watch for more about Secret Vegas Lives!
Have a
lovely Mother’s Day!
