I am grateful to be here on the release date of “Don’t Let
Him Go.” This is my sixth novel, but the first one being published, and I am
thrilled the The Wild Rose Press is
making this dream come true for me.
“Don’t Let Him Go” is an opposites attract, contemporary,
multicultural romance that takes place in the stunning setting of San Francisco.
While I have always been inspired to write romance novels by my sincere admiration
for the depth of human relationships and the strength of the human heart, this
particular story has its own unique journey to being written.
While the characters in my novels tend be different from one
another in many ways, the idea of people who appear on the surface to be
opposites but are at the center one, comes from my own love story.
Even our closest friends are surprised that my husband and I
found one another. But while the differences in our heights, our demeanors, and
even our choices in careers seem to be so vastly divergent, deep down we are
one soul separated at birth and reunited at last.
So it should come as no surprise that I finally wanted to
address in writing this dynamic in relationships where people appear on the
outside to be mismatched puzzle pieces when in fact they are a perfect fit. In
today’s climate, this seemed all the more poignant.
Candace is a conservative-minded corporate lawyer. All she
ever wanted was to leave behind her hippy parents and make a life filled with a
large salary, nice apartment, and regal career. An assignment at her brand new
dream job slams her into constant contact with Jack Morrison. In a rebellion of
his own Jack rejects his family’s business and wealth. He strikes out by
starting a non-profit that fights his father’s corporate greed.
Opposing goals, dichotomous worldviews, and jobs to be done
that run in direct conflict to one another—none of this will stop Candace and
Jack from finding the common soul they share.
I hope you will take the opportunity to dive into the story
of this unlikely couple. Thank you for your time and happy reading!

Blurb:
Candace Gleason
passed the bar, landed a great job, and is making a killer salary--basically,
all of her dreams are coming true. Until she’s assigned to keep the boss’s
petulant son out of trouble.
Jack Morrison
is the rebellious black sheep of a mighty real estate family. He runs a
nonprofit whose mission is to save poor people from evil corporations, like the
one his own family owns. He is obnoxious, ridiculously charming, and insanely
hot. He is the bane of Candace’s very existence.
Sparks fly from
the moment they meet. Candace suddenly has more to worry about than keeping
Jack out of jail. She has to keep him out of her heart.
Excerpt:
I folded my arms across my chest and glared at Jack as he moseyed into the room. “You
ambushed me.”
Jack came to a stop a few feet away and nodded. “I
did.”
“That’s it?” I spread my arms out and leaned forward.
My voice rose despite my effort to control it. “That’s all you have to say?”
“What do you want me to say? You’re smart. You can see
what I did back there. I used you for my own gain.”
“You’re a prick!”
“I’m not surprised you feel that way. But I am sorry you had
to get caught in the crossfire.” He moved to the couch and took a seat in the
middle of it, purposefully giving me the high ground.
He slung his arms over the back of the couch casually,
making him look like an arrogant ass. And that is exactly what I thought of him
at that moment. So I called him on his supposed apology. “Are you?”
“Yes, I am. But you’re not innocent, Candie. You put
yourself in this position by going to work for Morrison.”
“It’s Candace!” I shouted, on the edge of insanity.
He didn’t respond. He just looked at me with that
infuriatingly handsome face and waited, an amused grin dancing on his face.
