Withstanding the Enemy
T.L. Mahrt
Publication date: January 31st 2020
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense

Emma Andrews was orphaned at a young age with no family to turn to. Tired of the broken foster-care system, and believing it was her only option, she runs to a multi-millionaire with a reputation of hiring young women. It is only then that she learns what real monsters look like…

Emma uses her overactive imagination to help her get through the toughest of days. By daydreaming a life full of love and freewill, she manages her colorless prison, but even in her wildest dreams, she would have never imagined it could become a reality. That is, until she meets Chance, a man willing to lay his life down to save hers.

But what Emma doesn’t expect is to fight her own personal demons—her heart.

This is my first novel, however, I have been writing since I was in junior high with journaling. It wasn’t until in my mid twenties that I started to write more seriously.

Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Withstanding the Enemy?
Emma Andrews is our main character. She hasn’t had an easy childhood and finds herself in the broken foster care system. She undergoes trauma in her past. She is resilient, even if, she doesn’t see it herself, she is capable of withstanding time.

Rick Stevens is the multi-millionaire that holds Emma captive. He is ruthless and his love is overbearing. He is dark. Emma is his and he makes sure everyone knows it. Is he the evil that everyone thinks he is? Or, is there another side to him that he so desperately wants Emma to see…

Chance Fletcher is Emma’s bodyguard. He can’t fight his feelings he has towards Emma. Only, his past comes back to haunt him, a past he has been trying to outrun.

If you could spend the day with one of the characters from Withstanding the Enemy, who would it be? Please tell us why you chose this particular character, where you would go and what you would do.
This is a hard one for me, I would want to spend time with all of them. But, if I had to pick one … it would be Emma. I wouldn’t go anywhere. I would want to just talk and hang out. I would want to listen to her and tell her that it’s all going to be okay.
