[The Proposal] Live!

It’s HERE!!! The Proposal is finally live! Yes, I’m freaking out and shoving cupcakes in my face to celebrate. I hope you’ll join me!

When I envisioned Zara Logan dropping to her knees in front of me, this wasn’t what I had in mind...

I was expecting a lot less glaring and a lot more moaning.

Instead, she's proposing an enticing deal that I can't bear to walk away from.

To land one of the city’s biggest clients, she wants us to put our differences aside and play fake fiancés for the next thirty days.

So, I slip the diamond ring onto her finger and agree to play the perfect fiancé. How hard can this be?  

A hell of a lot harder than I thought... 

She’s infuriatingly stubborn and she thinks I’m a cocky jerk with an enormous ego. (She’s right, but I can definitely back it up...)

As our long days stretch into even later nights, it’s getting harder to remember we’re only playing pretend, which means one thing. 

She won’t be faking it for long…

[The Proposal] Songs from The Proposal

Sometimes you hear a song and the story unfolds in front of you with each lyric. I love to listen to music while I write. A song might fit a scene perfectly or convey an emotion that makes it easier to me to write it. For each of my books, one of the first things I do is start a playlist. From the first time we meet in my mind, I’m getting to know who they are. Their stories and their struggles. It might be a song they love to dance to after a break up, the one they’re walking in the rain to or that one playing in their head after a night with their love.

It’s crazy how much fuel a song can give me. I won’t lie, I’ve definitely cried during some of them when writing. So I have a playlist for The Proposal. Leo and Zara’s story is sweet, sexy and emotional and beautiful.

Check out some of the songs that helped me bring their story to life!

One of my favorite songs is by Dua Lipa. Have you ever had that person you can’t stop thinking about even when you don’t want to? You can’t help yourself from dreaming about them no matter how hard you try. They’re under your skin and you have no idea how to get rid of them or if you even want to.

Now imagine you’re their fake fiancé…

[The Proposal] Their Story

The Proposal is a fun new phase for me as a writer. I've been deep in the college sports realm for my past two series. When I wrapped up the Kings series, I knew I wanted to keep going with the more contemporary stories sprinkled in amongst the college, new adult stories I love telling.

Figuring out what you want to do when you're in college makes it seem like that's the last career choice you'll have to make. But after the caps and gowns come off and the real work begins, we all make choices that might not lead us where we thought we'd end up.

Leo and Zara are searching for something and might have found it in the place they're going to be most pissed to find it!
