Synopsis:
How far would you go to set yourself free?
Drake Blackwell is successful, controlling, and hiding a violent family past. He just made his latest investment: Noriko.
Imported from Japan and wed to a stranger, Noriko struggles to stick to the rules of a Good Wife. Drake can’t seem to love her, not the way she wants to be loved. She dreams of freedom beyond the gates of Blackwell Manor.
She meets Keir, a passionate young gardener who shares her desire to break free. He gets under her skin and ignites a fire in her she can’t ignore. In the midst of her quiet desperation she thinks she has found happiness. And a glimpse of hope.
But this affair can’t last…can it?

There is a darkness lingering, but not how you’d expect. There are monsters, but not as you usually know them. The truth is, in this story, no one is completely innocent. And it’s always darkest before the dawn.Although part of a series, this is a standalone novel with no cliffhanger. WARNING: For ages 18+. There are scenes in this novel that infer or allude to physical violence.
Excerpt:
The
space between us crackled like a fire. I felt myself drawing towards
him with an intensity greater than before, as if he had grabbed me by
my shoulders and was pulling me towards him. As I leaned in he leaned
in.
“Noriko,”
his voice was strained. “We can’t.”
“We
can’t,” I repeated. I kept moving into him.
“We
shouldn’t.”
“We
definitely shouldn’t.”
We
can’t, we shouldn’t; I was fighting a losing battle. He was so
beautiful…but that’s not why I wanted him. I wanted his strong
and hard-working hands on my body. I wanted his smart and passionate
mouth on mine. I wanted to unwrap his mind, complex and layered like
an origami, and for the depths of his soul to pour into my ear
through his whispers.
I
wanted Keir more now than ever before. I needed him. The rules I
would be breaking seemed to matter less and less with every breath
and with every grain of space that was falling away between us.
He
stopped, his mouth an inch from mine. I paused too. Was this where it
would stop? Would he pull away? Would he have enough sense for both
of us?
He
sighed, and it was a soft, sweet exhale which I caught in my mouth.
“Damn us both,” he said under his breath.
Before
he captured my lips with his.
Interview
Q.
Sum up Girl Wife Prisoner in 5 words or less.
A.
Forbidden love, desperate acts, redemption.
Q.
What other books is Girl Wife Prisoner similar to?
A.
Jenn from I Heart Books told me she thought it was similar (but
different) to Insidious by Aleatha Romig. I haven’t read Insidious
so I can’t say whether it’s true or not (but it’s now on my TBR
list).
Q.
What’s next?
A.
Paper Dolls, a psychological thriller/love story about a woman who
has to choose whether she saves her sister or her boyfriend, is
coming out early Jan 2016. Then A Wild & Terrible Love (A Good
Wife #2), a tale of wild love and revenge, shortly afterwards.
Q.
What are some of your favorite books?
A.
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Daughter of Smoke & Bone by
Laini Taylor, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Shutter Island by
Dennis Lehane, Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan. Eclectic, I know.
Q.
What do you do when you’re not writing?
A.
Read, travel, spend time with the Love of my Life.
