Please welcome fellow Rose, Kay Harris.
Thank you so much for having me here, Jennifer! I am excited
to share with the story of how I came to write Book 2 of the I WANT MORRISON
series “Lost on the Road to Love.”
This novel is total self-indulgence on my part. When I
stepped back and looked at it after the rough draft was completed I realized
that the book was me making my dreams come to fruition in writing. I laugh at
myself now, but at the time I almost decided to scrap the thing and start over.
Fortunately, the cooler heads of my beta readers prevailed.
Despite the novel being everything I
wanted, it turns out my readers wanted it to. So now it is the delightful
second novel in this four-book series.
So what’s so self-indulgent about this book? I’ll tick them
off for you.
1)
The first book I ever wrote “Love on the Rocks”
features my deepest crush, my book boyfriend to end all book boyfriends, rock
star Sean Rush. Since the hero in “Lost on the Road to Love” is Sean’s son, I
got to bring an older, silver fox Sean into the book. (Be still my beating
heart!)
2)
I also got to bring back Henry’s mom, the fierce
and feisty Park Ranger who fell in love with a rock star and made him want to
settle down and become a family man. Go girl!
3)
Chelsea gets to flaunt her wonderful,
unapologetic nerdiness. When I introduced Chelsea Morrison in the first book in
the series “Don’t Let Him Go” I made her a skinny, frizzy-haired, bespeckled
kid sister. Growing up may have tamed her hair a little, but otherwise,
Chelsea, her lanky frame, and her glasses are still in place. And she gets to
be the heroine who falls in love with the hot son of a rock star – that’s
right!
4)
I am a travel addict. Over the course of eight
months in this book I get to take my readers literally all over the world. We
experience some amazing places in the U.S., South America, the Carribean, and
Europe. Yay!
So there it is, the naked truth. While writing this book I
was completely indulging in the things I wanted to see happen. I won’t
apologize. I’ll just say, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Blurb:
Take two best friends, add some
benefits, and it may take a map to find their way to love.
On the
road for eight months as part of the crew for a travel show, Chelsea Morrison
expects to work hard, endure long nights, and enjoy some wicked adventures. But
she doesn’t expect to fall head over heels for the show’s star.
Henry
Rush, son of a legendary rock star, is leery of women. He learned early they
only want him for the fame that rightly belongs to his father. But when an
intense friendship with Chelsea leads to so much more, he has to confront the
one thing he’s avoided all his life.
Can
these two friends navigate their way to a happy ending?
Excerpt:
I
rested my hand on my hip. “Are you saying you find me
irresistibly attractive?”
“Yes.” He gave a firm nod. There was no mirth in his eyes or in the set
of his mouth.
I narrowed my gaze and scrutinized him. “I thought it was because we’re
so close, remember.”
“Yes. And you’re insanely hot.”
“Am not!”
“Are too!”
I shook my head.
“Wanna make a bet on it?” he challenged.
“What?”
“You get naked for me. And if I am disappointed, you win the bet. If
you’re as hot as I think you are under those clothes, I win. In fact, I already
know what I want if I win. I want to see one of the films you’ve made.”
I stared at him, my mouth agape.
“What do you want if you win, Chels? Not that it matters. Because you
won’t win.”
I finally found my voice. Because I couldn’t turn down this opportunity.
“If I win, you sing for me.”
“Done.” He settled farther into the couch. “I’m ready when you are.”
