Hello, hello! Today I’m interviewing Tessa, the heroine in my latest romantic suspense book, DANCE AWAY, DANGER. Let’s get started!
Alexa: Can you tell us about a real-life hero
you’ve met?
Tessa: I kind of think my brother Jason and his
friend Matt heroes. They were in the military together and fought for the very
freedoms I get to enjoy. Both of them were wounded in battle.
Alexa: If you were given a chance to travel to the
past where would you go and specifically why?
Tessa: I’d like to go to the years where my
parents were teenagers and just getting together. I think it would be really
cool to see them as young and in love. Sadly my brother and I lost our parents
in a car accident when I was 12.
Alexa: What is your favorite tradition from your
childhood that you would love to pass on or did pass on to your children?
Tessa: When my mother was alive, she and I used to
go on a trip together every year. We’d call it Girls’ Weekend. We’d go away
somewhere out of town, just the two of us, for a couple of nights. We’d go out
to eat, shop, hang out in the pool if there was one. It was just a special time
for us. I always treasured those trips. I hope to have Girls’ Weekends with my
own daughter some day.
Alexa: What will always make you smile, even on a
bad day?
Tessa: I know this is horrible of me, but I love
to watch my brother give Matt a hard time, especially about me. In reality I
know my brother is okay with me being together with Matt, but I’m still his
little sister and he’s always looked out for me.
Alexa: What’s the best birthday present you ever
received?
Tessa: Oh, that’s easy. A surprise trip to Ireland
for my birthday. I won’t say anything else. Alexa will kill me if I do.
Alexa: That’s right. I will. People need to read
the book to find out the details! Thank you to Tessa for joining us today and
thank you to the Happily Ever After Thoughts gang, especially Lexi, for
inviting us to hang out here!
I hope you’ll follow me this coming week. I’m touring
several blogs and sharing something different about Dance Away, Danger each
day. If you leave comments anywhere along the way, you’ll be in the running for
a Dance
Away, Danger prize pack!

Blurb of DANCE AWAY, DANGER:
Sensible dance instructor Tessa Gage likes
her life organized, risk-free and on her own terms. When her cop brother goes
missing, his crooked partner tries to kill her, and a handsome stranger claims
he’s come to protect her, she’s forced to leave her comfort zone. With more
dance and business sense than survival skills and no idea who to
trust, Tessa has no choice but to rely on this man who’d rather be
anywhere but by her side.
When carefree carpenter Matt Rylan gets a
late night call from an Army buddy who once saved his life, he finds himself
where he never again wanted to be—responsible for someone else. Honor
demands Matt cooperate, but he never expects his simple babysitting job to
test the limits of his self-control. Nor does he expect it to explode into a
race against time for his very freedom.
As Tessa and Matt get closer to
the truth, and to each other, Tessa learns to step outside the safety of
her world to help set the wheels of justice in motion. For Matt, supporting
this courageous woman suddenly becomes everything to him. Yet, his
biggest challenge remains sharing his closed-off heart with her before the
danger silences them both forever.
