Olivia
By Jasper Trey
Q&A with Jasper Trey:
Q: Where is your favorite place to write?
A: My favorite place to write is in my classroom. I just seem to be able to concentrate on getting the words out and written down easier there.
Q: What inspires you as an author?
A: The thing that inspires me is the love I have with my husband and seeing the love that my friends have with their spouses. Other than that I love getting lost in how a relationship starts and works, whether it’s a friendship or romantic relationship.
Q: Why do you write romance and why your genre of romance?
A: I write Contemporary Romance because one of the hardest things for me to do is stay in the present. I have become much more mindful and able to be in the moment over the last few years and writing stories in my head has allowed me to stop obsessing with old hurts and such. I write Romance because it’s happy.
Q: What are you working on next and when can we expect to see it?
A: I have the second book in my Harris Legacy Series, Marve coming out on May 1st. I have finally started my Young Adult ScienceFiction novel. Hopefully I will finish that by the end of the year and be able to start editing in January 2019.
About Olivia:
Romance meets duty in this modern-day love story. Can Dante convince Olivia to take a chance on a future with him, or will Olivia’s past hold her back?.
What happens when you’re made to retire long before it’s your time?
For Dante it means flying halfway around the world to a beach where no one knows who he is. He must come home to his family and country and serve in a capacity he left ten years before, when he joined the military.What that capacity will look like, nobody knows, and he is given mere weeks to figure it out.
Olivia has no intention of starting an affair. She wants a beach, some sun, and the space to heal her heart. It’s been more than a year since her husband died and she hasn’t done much more than take care of their children in that time. This vacation is for her, but taking a beer to a stranger at the insistence of the staff, and making a five-minute friend? That won’t cut into her time to much, right?
Neither is looking for anything more than a friend in a remote land, but after spending a week together, will they really be able to walk away and find there happy ever after with someone else?
Genre: contemporary romance
Excerpt from Olivia:
Dante turned the page of the sci-fi novel he’d checked out from the resort
library. He ‘d chosen it because it seemed an easy read, but the curvy
brunette in the red bikini sidling up to the beach bar was winning the
battle for his attention. He tried once again to concentrate on the book
in front of him.
The beer filled his view shortly before the bronzed, bikini-clad body did.
The beer slowly crossed his vision to be set on the table next to his
chair. Then, with the grace of a yogi, the red bikini braced her hands on
the arms of his chair and straddled his lap, ending with her mouth a scant
half inch from his own. He could feel her breath on his lips, and was on
the verge of closing that last half inch.
“I hear this is what you are drinking,” Bikini said, snapping Dante back to
reality, and to the woman standing in front of him holding a couple of
beers.
He really needed help if he was imagining strangers straddling him. He was
really grateful to the book, as it hid his instant reaction to the thought
of her straddling him.
Red Bikini continued.“I figured it was going to be Corona, and I’d have to
decline the staff’s request to bring it over. But since it’s German, well,
that shows good taste.”
The smile she gave him was slightly crooked, but Dante thought it seemed
genuine. He reached for the beer.
“This will let me show the staff I can play nice,” she said. “Mind if I sit
down?”
Watching her from behind his mirrored aviators, he gestured with the beer
toward the seat next to his. As she turned to sit, he tried as discreetly
as possible to adjust the hard on that his little fantasy brought on. But
the slight smile she sent him as she sat and rested her elbows on her
knees, let him know she had noticed.
