New York State of Mind: Where Did Nico Come From?

Hey, there. It's been a while, I know. Sorry about the radio silence. This summer and fall have been crazy busy, with the release of Legally Ours, the third and final book of my Spitfire Trilogy, and also the first book of a new series, titled Bad Idea.

Hot, yes? That cover model. Ummmmm. On top of that, I'm going back to school, keeping my day job, raising three kids, and basically never sleeping.

It's cool.

I'm excited, though. I'm excited about this new book because instead of recycling more tropes we've all read before, I took a leap of faith and wrote a story that's really close to my heart. Bad Idea reads at first like a typical bad boy meets rich girl in the city story. And it kind of is. Nico Soltero, otherwise known as The Hottest Man of my Dreams, is a part-Puerto Rican mutt from Hell's Kitchen, a twenty-six-year-old FedEx worker whose life is going nowhere. He meets Layla Barros, a student from an affluent family who's attending NYU and working part-time at an office on Nico's delivery route. Sparks fly. Drama ensues.
