I’m working on a new trilogy to
add to my list with Decadent Publishing, and the conflict my characters are
presenting have created a slew of questions and thoughts in my mind. It all
comes down to what she thinks he wants, but really, he doesn’t. And what he
thinks she’s up to, but really, she isn’t.
Am I making sense yet? Probably
not.
The thing with my two is
despite the level of openness they share with one another and their desire they
have for … again, one another, they aren’t who they say they are, or at least,
who they think they are.
Still not making sense, huh?
Okay, let me lay it out. So,
you have this Vice Detective who is also a partner in an underground
gentlemen’s club. His involvement is very off the books, and very secretive.
Then you have the heroine, who’s an undercover, brand-new baby to the force,
and she’s investigating him for corrupt activities. Throw in the third wheel,
known as the Chief of Police’s daughter who is infatuated with the Vice
Detective, and her link to his missing twin, and things go berserk from there.
It got me thinking about the
things she thinks he wants, but really, he doesn’t. Not really knowing him
outside of the club and in a different capacity, other than he’s the subject of
her investigation, has her being bold, reaching past her comfort limits, and
pushing the extreme.
She’s become someone she thinks
he wants her to be and she’s lost all sense of herself. And she’s done it all
because of what almost 90% of romance novels come down to—communication.
Of course with Sierra (that’s
my heroine), she really can’t communicate too much with Bennett (the hero),
right? If she does, well, her entire case could go down the drain.
Well, her communication isn’t
as deep as that. It’s more about the attraction, such as her ability to push
her erotic ideas to a brink—such as the mirror she introduces, the silk scarf,
a super –vampy little lingerie number, and of course the tease of seduction. It
opens doors for her and him, but it also turns her into someone she doesn’t
recognize. And all the while, he’s on to her.
In keeping with the theme, I’ve
got to ask, just how far would one go to “think” outside the box and go after
what one “thinks” the other wants?
Curious minds want to know…
