Saving Grace was an idea I got from a dream, about a
student falling in love with her professor. The forbidden aspect of falling in
love with someone you shouldn’t just caught my attention, and I had to write
it.
Grace is my heroine, and she’s naïve, a little
awkward and unsure of herself. She’s a lot like I used to be, studious,
innocent, and a “good” girl. That was secured for her by her size and geek
status in high school… but college is a whole different place, and she realizes
that first thing when she meets her roommate, Christina.
Christina is definitely a “bad” girl, and she’s
mischievous, sassy, and wise to the world. I think they’re a perfect complement
to each other. The preacher’s daughter and the wild child. Christina pushes her
out of her shell, and Grace reluctantly flounders out into deeper water.
When they go to a bar, Grace meets a man who she
can’t believe seems to be interested in her. One kiss was all it took and she
was putty in his hands. What she doesn’t know is the man she’s kissing at the
bar is her professor.
The story has some twists and turns along the way,
and plenty of people seem to be willing to sabotage a fledgling romance. Grace
has to find herself, and that’s the scariest part of all. Life isn’t always
what it seems.
Reviewers are saying to buy it first thing in the
morning, hang the Do Not Disturb sign, order pizza for dinner, and they’re
using the hashtag #ILoveProfessorDrakeStone.
I hope you fall in love with Drake Stone too!

Blurb for Saving Grace
The rule was simple—don't fall in love with a
student. Drake had never had that problem—not until he met the buxom brunette
in the bar. Grace was one of a kind, virginal but far from chaste. When she
wanted him to teach more than history, he was left with a choice that could
ruin them both.
Grace was always the good girl, until she met her
wild best friend, Christina, who pushed her out of her shell. She fell head
over heels for the sexy, young college professor, but when everything shattered
around her, she was left with figuring out who she really was. Her journey led
her somewhere she never imagined, but along the way she learned that even the
wildest roses have to put down roots in a place they can call home.
