What’s a
Cinderella to do when she’s accidentally kicked her Prince Charming in the face
and broken his nose? Hold an audition, of course.
Harper Bailey is
desperate to keep her family’s amusement park business up and running, but her
employees keep quitting, and the man playing prince to her Cinderella in the
company’s mainstage show is just the latest casualty. When sexy firefighter
Rafferty Bradford, the most eligible bachelor in their small town, offers to
step in, Harper agrees--reluctantly. After all, she and Rafferty are ex-best
friends with a ton of past history. Surely they’ll have zero chemistry onstage.
Rafferty has his
own reasons for agreeing to play Prince Charming, and none of them are good. If
Harper finds out the truth, it’ll just reinforce every rumor she’s believed
over the years about Rafferty’s bad rep. But when their chemistry explodes both
onstage and off, he’ll have to choose between happily-ever-after for
himself...or the Cinderella he’s fallen for.
Interview:
Hey Sonya!! First I want to say welcome to Two Chicks on Books I’m glad
you could stop by for a chat! THE FIREFIGHTER’S CINDERELLA sounds AWESOME and I
can’t wait for everyone to read it!
For the readers:
can you tell us a little bit about the THE FIREFIGHTER’S CINDERELLA and the
characters?
Thank you for the warm welcome! The
Firefighter’s Cinderella is the last book in a series that feature firefighter
heroes and the women they love. This one is the story of Rafferty Bradford who
comes from a close-knit family of firefighters. He portrays himself as a
playboy but only because he’s hiding a heartbreak.
The heroine, Harper, is in charge of running
the family amusement park, and needs Rafferty to fill in as the new Prince
Charming after she accidentally kicks the former one in the face and he quits.
She and Rafferty used to be close friends but that friendship ended after a
fall out between the two.
The story is about two people finding their
way back to each other not just as friends but as a meant-to-be couple. 😊
What are you
working on now?
I’m working on the edits for a new series
releasing next year.
Were any of the
characters in the book inspired by people from your real life?
No…well…I had someone like Grandma Jean in my life.
Who was your
favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?
I liked writing the characters as a whole but
favorite was probably Harper. I don’t think I have a least favorite.
What is your favorite
passages/scenes in THE FIREFIGHTER’S CINDERELLA?
That would have to be when Rafferty and
Harper were at a barn…I think because this was when Harper realized that she and Rafferty were
both playing it safe.
“Pretty song,” she said softly.
“For a pretty girl,” he answered and held out
his hands.“Let’s not waste it.”
Another memory to add to the what could have
been file. Harper walked into the circle of his arms, questioning her ability
to keep her heart as guarded as she’d
hoped.
It had been easier to keep her distance when
she thought Rafferty was a shallow playboy only interested in himself. After
spending time with him in the supply room and at the castle, she’d learned that
he, too, had a heart scar and, like her, protected himself.
He waltzed them across the hayloft, and
Harper didn’t want to be careful, not while she looked up into his handsome face
and her heart beat a hundred miles a minute.
“I know you’ve been hurt,” Rafferty said
abruptly, holding her gaze. “But I want you to know that I meant what I said in
the supply room. I’ll keep you safe.”
What kind of
research did you have to do for the story?
I’d interviewed firefighter’s in the
beginning of the series. So I still had all that research. For this book, I
interviewed someone who used to work with horses in a therapeutic setting
because I wanted to get the horse riding part right. And I also interviewed a
woman who’d gone through a live burn drill.
Who is your
ultimate book boyfriend?
I’d have to think about that. Too many to
name just one. Don’t want to make the other ones jealous. LOL!
What inspired you
to write romance?
I just love romance. It’s so beautiful. I
love that happily ever after. Two people who walk through life together and
have each other’s back. You know everything won’t be perfect, but they won’t go
through it alone.
When I watch a movie or a TV show, if it
doesn’t have a strong romance, I usually lose interest.
