Beck: “I need a wife fast.” Poppy: “Why? You knocked up?”
Tell us what is Not the Marrying Kind is about.
A fiercely loyal woman who’d do anything for the sister who raised her and a life-hardened desert bad boy who’s determined to prove he’s better than his past. Both are tough on the outside but marshmallow on the inside. Is there anything sexier than seeing a bad boy tamed?
Dish, who’s your favorite character?
That’s like being asked to choose between my kids, impossible! Though Beck is pretty sexy…and he looks exactly like Gerard Butler…
How did you feel when you finished Not the Marrying Kind?
It’s always a huge relief to finish a book but if I’m particularly attached to characters, like Poppy and Beck, it can be a little sad saying goodbye. Which are what sequels are for!
For all of us impatient readers, what is up next for you?
Another marriage of convenience story, this time with Harlequin Presents Extra. MARRYING THE ENEMY, releasing September, is the first in a duo, centered around the glamorous jewelry world in Melbourne, my home city. Romantic Times Magazine gave it 4 ½ stars: “This
spirited and poignant romance features a vulnerable alpha hero who is perfectly matched with his sassy heroine.”
I love the fact Ruby proposes to Jax in this book! Love a strong heroine who knows what she wants and will go to any lengths to get it!
Thanks Nicola!
Thanks so much for having me!

NOT THE MARRYING KIND BLURB:
Who said marriage had to be convenient?LA party planner Poppy Collins has kept her side business—planning divorce parties as the Divorce Diva—under wraps, but keeping her sister's company afloat is proving tougher by the day. When a new divorce party prospect gives Poppy the opportunity to save the day and boost her bottom line, she can't pass it up. But this time, she's about to get way more than she bargained for…
Vegas golden boy Beck Blackwood knows Poppy's secret, and he's not afraid to use it to get exactly what he wants—a wife. With his reputation and corporate expansion plans on the line, the only way he can repair the damage is by getting hitched, and fast. And if blackmail is the only way to get Poppy to the altar, then so be it…
But they're in the city of high stakes, and Poppy has a few aces up her sleeve. Now it's time to find out if they're playing to win…or if they're playing for keeps.
