How can Ava Starr's dream come true be Dax Miller's worst nightmare?
Ava's mother always told her to be careful what she wished for. From the moment Ava woke up on Lamarai Island, she wanted nothing more than to find Preston. But now that she has, her heart is caught in a fierce game of tug-of-war. In a place where danger lurks around every tree, she must quickly figure out who she can trust, and who is out to destroy her dream of a happy ever after.
Dax's plan to capture Ava's heart was all falling into place. That is, until Ava's past showed up on the island in the form of a tall, dark, and handsome pilot named Preston, leaving Dax to wonder if he's inherited Ava's wicked luck. Preston is determined to pick up his relationship with Ava where they left off before a plane crash separated them, but Dax will stop at nothing to fight for the girl of his dreams and discover the truth behind the mysterious pilot.
But Dax isn't the only one troubled by the surprise appearance of Preston and his flight crew. The new visitors to the island have caused Dax's stepsister, Roxy, to develop a bad case of sibling rivalry, as well as managed to attract the unwanted attention of a vicious tribe of cannibals. Now Dax must figure out a way to keep his new tribe of misfits safe, while Ava is left to make the most important decision of her life. Will they succeed, or will fate decide for them?
Wicked Fate is the heart-pounding sequel to Wicked Luck, a new adult adventure romance series.

Interview
1. Where’s
home for you?
Grand Junction, CO
2. What’s the most valuable thing you’ve learned?
That occasionally some writing
“rules” can be broken.
3. What is your most embarrassing moment?
I have so many I could write a book. Gravity
and I don’t get along, and I love to wear high heels, so that isn’t always the
best combination. One of the most embarrassing moments I’ve had was when I fell
outside a restaurant at my daughter’s birthday party with all her friends.
4. Are any
of your characters inspired by real people?
A lot of my characters are inspired
by real people; it helps me when deciding how they would react to certain
situations or how they would respond. I
won’t say which ones so my friends and family will just have to wonder if any
are based on them. Hahaha Other characters I just create.
5. Do you
have a routine for writing?
I brainstorm while I drive kids to all their
activities and then I write later when I get home.
6. Where
and when do you prefer to do your writing?
I typically write late at night when
my kids are in bed and it’s quiet.
7. What’s
the best compliment you’ve ever received about your writing?
I have gotten some
great compliments on reviews about my creativity.
8. What’s
the hardest thing you’ve ever had to write?
I think the hardest thing to write
is a synopsis for the back of a book or “about the author” profiles.
9. What are
you working on now?
I am working on book 3 of the Wicked Luck Series, Wicked
Revenge.

For the past three years, Dax has been stranded on Lamarai Island with his stepsister and two tribes of cannibals. But now a beautiful girl named Ava has washed up on shore. After secretly reading her journal, he believes she is a perfect match to the girl of his dreams. He’s determined not only to keep her alive, but also to win over her heart by convincing her to forget about her past and the secrets that continue to haunt her.
Ava Starr has always been the epitome of bad luck, but she never imagined she would wake up and find herself on a cannibal-infested island with no memory of how she got there. The last thing she remembers is boarding a plane with her pilot boyfriend, Preston. But now he and his crew are missing, and she must find him before a tribe of hungry cannibals finds him first. But Ava’s troubles have followed her to Lamarai, where once again she’s surrounded by danger and people who want her dead. She finds herself caught in a web of deceit and soon discovers the answers to her mysterious past can be found in the most unlikely of places, and that no one is actually who they seem to be.
