A daring ultimatum – and an unlikely romance!
Perla Lyman is the glamorous force behind Lyman News, and insists on the truth being told. After surviving a bitter tell-all by an ex-boyfriend and hidden financial issues, the final blow is having a slanderous article posted to her news site–causing her reputation to shatter.

Powerful billionaire Lucas Braxton is darkly handsome and wildly successful, yet refuses any contact with the media. Especially someone as flashy and curious as Perla Lyman. But when his young, impulsive sister hacks into Lyman News, he is dragged into negotiating with the beautiful influencer.

When Lucas asks her not to press charges, she offers him an ultimatum. She’ll grant the favor if he’ll accompany her as her besotted date to various high-profile events and give an exclusive tell-all interview to Lyman News.

When their orchestrated romance puts them in close proximity, it proves impossible to resist their secret desire. Will their stark differences fuel their growing passion, or will they go their separate ways when their bargain ends?

*******
Her Thrilling Fling is the first book in the series Love at the Office. Each book is a stand-alone office romance and tells the story of one of the Lyman family members.

Guest Post:

What is your writing process? For instance do you do an outline first? Do you do the chapters first?

My story idea typically starts as a dilemma or an unresolved conflict. For example, what would happen if a reporter interested in telling stories was asked for a favor. What would make her say no? I keep working with the idea until it becomes a fuller story concept. And then I begin to figure out the characters to put into the situation and think about their backstories, what motivates them. After spending time thinking about their emotional life, I sketch out their fears, what they hide about themselves and what they want from life.

Once the characters are fully fleshed out, I write a few test scenes to figure out how they interact. My next step is to use their backstory and the overall story idea to outline the novel. My first draft is mostly dialog but then I go back and add in physical descriptions, internal thoughts and reactions. By this point, I know the characters well and place them in situations that will help them grow towards having a significant and meaningful relationship and being fully present in their own life.
