[The Proposal] Inspiration Station: How the hell did you think that up?

My stories all start with a character. It's usually a voice booming in my head throwing out a piece of dialogue or doing something I can't look away from.

The Proposal was no different.

Leo Wilder had a cocky smile, swagger and eyes that would cause women to walk straight into a pole if he winked at them. Under that, he's so much more, but it all started with a glance and a wink.

Zara Logan was the perfect one to go up against him to battle it out. Whenever there are two characters jabbering away, I'm always trying to picture the worst possible way for them to crash into one another, sometimes literally...

They've each got exactly what the other needs, even if they don't know it yet.

This is a story I've been excited to tell since last summer and the countdown has begun!

[The Proposal] My Top Procrastination Tip

Story inspiration comes to me in many ways. It might be a conversation I overhear, a song I listen to or a picture I find. And the picture usually means I send the image to my Pinterest board for the story that sparked the character/location/event inspiration.

If you're looking for way not to procrastinate, this is not the place!

That's when the rabbit hole of Pinterest clamps onto my ankle and I'm unable to escape until I've pinned at least 100 things and scrolled for hours.

But I love creating the boards for my characters and their stories. I get the warm fuzzies when I find a funny moment I imagine them having or a steamy embrace or kiss dropped on the shoulder.

This time around, the hero for The Proposal popped into my head. He's hilarious and sexy as hell. So I went to find his celebrity doppelgänger over on Pinterest. His feisty heroine wasn't far behind. There was a scene I saw between the two of them and I needed to find get my board started for their story.

I love enemies to lovers. Every banter filled conversation. Sexual tension and off the charts chemistry are my jam, if you didn't know that already.

But this one is even more special because I've never had two character's in a battle of wills where only one of them can win. It's a fun twist on the usual head butting. Oh and did I forget to mention, they're also fake fiancés?

It was almost too much fun and I can't wait for July to get here, so you can finally meet them both!

[The Proposal] In My Editor's Hands

I can't believe the day is finally here! I've been working on this story since the beginning of the year and I'm freaking out that I can finally tell you more about it!

Leo Wilder is everything you want in a yummy hero with all the dirty talk and marshmallow insides I can't help but write. He's a little bit cocky, a little bit damaged, a HUGE button pusher in every sense of the word and one of the best guys I've ever written.

He's funny, loyal and can't keep his hands off his new fake fiancé.

The Proposal will be here and July and it can't come soon enough!
