Genre: Erotic Romance Dystopia
Content Warning: Spanking and Erotica
Synopsis
Emerald – a
girl with green eyes and a rarity after the horrific genocide that slaughtered
millions.
After the war, King
Gideon rose in power. A lust-filled and greedy king that believed in the power
of slavery.
At eighteen, women
were required to come before King Gideon and his four sons, to offer themselves
as a courtesan. The princes took only those they found most attractive and
alluring. The rest were returned to their homes with a brand on their wrist
proving they had been through the process and rejected. Ignoring the ritual was
punishable by death.
Aria Stone had been
kept hidden from the princes and the ceremony, because she was an Emerald. At
twenty-three, the royal guards storm her home, murder her mother, and drag her
to court. She must face the four princes.
A dystopian erotic
adventure.
Excerpt
"Your guards
murdered my mother, dragged and drugged me from my home. Anything else you wish
to know?" Aria asked, short-tempered.
James stepped close
enough to feel his breath against her cheek. "I can see your reluctance to
be here, but I assure you no harm will come to you, Aria."
It was hard to believe
him given the circumstances. Aria crossed her arms defensively. She didn't say
a word. There was nothing to say that would please him and make her happy. She
wouldn't lie or pretend to care about him when anger ebbed away at her and
boiled in her blood. Not when he made Aria think of her mother and asked her
about what happened, as if he pretended to care. Unlike the other women here
looking for something, she just wanted her freedom returned. Pretending eluded
her.

Little Known Facts
What inspired you
to write your first book?
My first Ravyn
Rayne book was inspired by Without A Trace, X-Files, and Fringe. I used to
watch a lot of FBI crime dramas and I would write tons of fan fiction. I wanted
a book that delve into their relationships a bit more than just on the surface.
I love the sexual tension those shows brought but I wanted it to get resolved
with steamy sex scenes!
When did you first
consider yourself a writer?
Probably when I was
in high school. I spent a lot of time reading books and writing poetry. I
didn't really get into writing fiction until I was in college. I'd been reading
a ton of fan fiction (and novels) and wanted a crack at it. Once I started, I
couldn't stop writing.
What books have
influenced your life most?
The Fault In Our
Stars, The Handmaid's Tale, The Hunger Games, Number the Stars
If you had to
choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
It would definitely
be Alta Hensley.
Are there any new
authors that have grasped your interest?
I'm not sure how
"new" they are, but they are certainly new to me! I've been reading
and loving the romance novels by: Elsa Black, Bryony Kildare, Alta Hensley, and
Victoria Winters. Next on my list to tackle are Maggie Ryan and Renee Rose.
Is there anything
you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Sometimes finding
the right placement for a romantic sex scene can be challenging. Especially if
there's a kidnapping involved or the woman is married. You have to make it
believable while still retaining your reader and rewarding them for staying
with the story.
Did you learn
anything from writing your book and what was it?
Yes! I always do
research, no matter the book. With The Emerald Virgin, I learned a lot about
futuristic technology. However, most of that research ended up being useful for
later on in the series.
Do you have any
advice for other writers?
Write as often and
as much as you can. Don't be afraid to let others read it.
Do you have
anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
I know you have so
many choices of books to read, so thank you for choosing one of my novels! I
love hearing from each and every one of my readers. Don't be a stranger.
