Synopsis
Kate
Adams has never found it difficult to keep a professional relationship with her
clients . . . but then she’s never had a client like Michael Maddox. From the
moment she arrives in Charlotte, Kate is tongue-tied by the devastatingly
gorgeous former Marine and intelligence genius turned multi-millionaire
entrepreneur. Michael seems at first glance to be the perfect catch, except for
one problem. He doesn’t do relationships. And Kate doesn’t do one-night stands.
But
as the tension mounts between them, Kate discovers she has larger problems—an
untraceable stalker . . . and a dangerous past. When Michael offers his
protection, Kate is grateful, and yet afraid. For as they grow closer, she
realizes that Michael has his own secret past. And while he might save her
life, he will surely break her heart.

AUTHOR BIO
Brittney
Sahin began writing at an early age, with the dream to be a published
author before the age of 18. Although academic pursuits (and, later, a
teaching career) interrupted her aspirations, she never stopped
writing--never stopped imagining.
It
wasn't until her students encouraged her to follow her dreams that
Brittney said goodbye to Upstate New York in order to start a new adventure
in the place she was raised: Charlotte, North Carolina. Here, she
decided to take her students' advice and begin to write again.
In
2015, she published her first novel, Silenced Memories. When she is not
working on upcoming novels, she spends time with her family. She is a
proud mother of a spunky toddler and a lover of suspense novels,
coffee, and the outdoors.
1. What’s your favorite genre to write?
Favorite genre to read?
I
like to write Romantic Suspense. I like to read suspense, romantic suspense,
thrillers/mysteries, and contemporary romance.
2. Is there something that draws you to
this genre?
I
love to read about the development of a relationship between characters. I can
read any genre as long as there is an element of romance involved. Although I
read traditional romance too, I prefer another underlying story
(suspense/thriller) weaved within the book.
3. Print or E-book?
E-book
just because I tend to read a lot more this way!
4. If you could give one piece of
advice to aspiring writers, what would it be?
Don’t
do it alone. Get help/feedback from others- and try not to let constructive
criticism get to you.
5. What novel have you recently released
(or is up and coming)?
My
novel, to be released 9/15- is a romantic suspense: Silenced Memories. The
novel takes place, for the most part, in the heart of Charlotte, N.C. – Romance
tangles with mystery as an ex-Marine, turned millionaire, steps in to save his
stunning events planner from a stalker and her dangerous past—but readers will
discover he deals with his own issues, which he has tried to ‘silence.’
6. When writing, do you have a target
audience in mind?
I
would say women over 18 (no age limit!). Although my book is both romance and
suspense- the general assumption is that women are the target readers for
romance.
7. Tell us about your protagonist.
Kate
Adams is smart (Harvard MBA grad). She took over her stepmother’s event
planning business at an early age & developed it into a multimillion dollar
company by 27. She is headstrong, a bit stubborn–and always pulled
together–until she returns to her place of birth (Charlotte) & meets the
elusive Michael Maddox.
Michael
Maddox is an ex-Marine (Special Forces). He retired from the Marines 5 years
prior to meeting Kate. He became a successful and wealthy entrepreneur upon
exit of the Marines, but he is heavily committed to helping veterans and
launches a business initiative for veterans (which is how Michael and Kate
meet- through planning an event for the business initiative).
8. What kind of research have you done for
your story?
A
lot of research on the military (with specific regards to the Special Forces
division of the Marines). I try to make everything as authentic as possible.
Whether I speak with the police, or do research with a designer (my female
protag: an events planner) . . . I like to cover the details.
9. Any last shout outs or words of wisdom?
Follow
your dreams because we only get one shot at life.
