This Week S. C. Mitchell said, Think back to that day you first decided you were going to write a book/story. Tell us about what led you to start putting those first words on the page.

It’s was a long time ago. I was in my twenties and had a lot of time in the evenings because my husband worked a night shift. I had always been a story teller, though mostly it was for my own amusement. I played out a thousand stories in my head. I saved the world while driving my car to and from work. I had written a short story about a ship full of people migrating off planet. Hmm, I’d almost forgotten about that story. 🙂

.

As a teen I worked on a horse farm in New Jersey. I met so many wonderful people as well as some not so wonderful ones. The first book I ever wrote was a contemporary romance about best friends becoming lovers after years apart. The title was Distant Thunder. Many of the characters in the book came from the farm, though I embellished and exaggerated. None of the story was true, but they were rich and fully developed people.  It was a cross country trip with horses, a hidden rape and secret baby all wrapped into one book. I’m not sure what made me think I could write an entire book and that book will never be published, but It was the start of an amazing journey.

Sailing to London, Sophia Braighton only hopes to escape certain ruin. But when she arrives, her Great Aunt Daphne has other plans for the American-born beauty. Determined to marry off her niece to a man of means, she propels Sophia into London society, not knowing that the young woman’s trust in men is shattered. In fact, Sophia never expects to ever feel anything for a man. Then again, she never expects to find herself in the company of the dashing Earl of Marlton….

From the moment he sees Sophia, Daniel Fallon feels alive in a way he has not since his broken engagement. Though the vulnerable beauty shies from the passion burning bright between them, Daniel is determined to court her and make her his bride. And when he learns of the painful secret she harbors, he is equally determined to take revenge on the man responsible. But will the quest destroy him—and his future with his beloved?
