Hi, thanks so much for having me over again to talk about In
Fair Brighton. J
Hello Elena! Thank you so
much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today! It’s such a pleasure to chat with you. So tell me…
Q) How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
A) Think Romeo and Juliet. That feeling you get when you
meet someone and know somewhere deep inside you that that person will be
important to you, but they have many trials to go through before they can be
together, like the fact that they are the children of rival mob families.
Unlike Romeo and Juliet, my couple will have an HEA.
Q) Is this book part of a series? If so, can you tell us about it?
Q) Can you give a
fun or interesting fact about your book?
A) I got to
infuse a little bit of my Russian culture into the story, not the mafia part,
lol, but family dynamic, the way they speak, customs.
Q) What gave
you the inspiration for your book?
A)Romeo and Juliet. I’ve always loved the book
as well as some of the movie adaptations of it. I wanted to put a modern day
spin on the story when these characters popped into my head after an anthology
call from my publisher, Evernight, was put out. I had originally began writing
the story in hopes of submitting it for the anthology, however, as the story
progressed, I knew I’d be going over the word count and then other characters
began speaking and demanding their own books, and the series was born.
BLURB:
Sasha Palmer, a travel writer, never stays in one
place long enough to find even the possibility of love. The baggage of her
family keeps her closed off from everyone, but one day, love finds her in the
form of strong arms, wrapping around her, and pulling her to safety from
oncoming traffic. One look at Rome, and she’s a goner.
Roman “Rome” Valentin is a killer … and a good one at
that. He leads a life he detests, full of self-loathing until the day he meets
Sasha. She barrels into his life and steals the heart he didn’t know he still
had … and then she vanishes.
Their two families have been at war for decades. Will
a chance meeting and a passionate growing love end the bitter feud or spark a
battle that may destroy them all?

Excerpt:
Sasha found
herself pressed against the façade of a bright yellow apartment building. The
street they had been walking down was nearly deserted, when the two of them
suddenly exchanged heated glances. He pushed her up against the building and
kissed her fiercely, one of his hands cradling the back of her head, while the
other was right below her ass as she hitched her leg around him. She threaded
her hand into his hair and fisted the front of his shirt again with her other
hand, moaning into his mouth as the kiss consumed them both, letting out two
days’ worth of fire and heat. She felt his hard length pressing into her,
wanting to take him inside her body and lose herself in him.
He slowed their
kiss down. “Do you want me to take you back to your hotel now?” he whispered
against her lips.
“No,” she
whispered back. She nipped his bottom lip, driving him to kiss her fervently
again.
He pulled back to
look at her, his face riddled with desire. “I ache so badly for you, Sasha.”
“Then have me,”
she said. “I want you, too, Rome.”
His hotel was
closer to their location, only two blocks away. They walked briskly without a
word until they were inside his room.
“God, what you do
to me,” he said, his voice gravelly, right before he cupped her face and
delivered another impassioned kiss.
He removed his
hands from her face, and lowered them to cup her ass, pulling her closer to
him. Sasha moaned into his mouth as he hoisted her up to straddle his waist. He
then carried her to the side of the bed in the center of the room and laid her
down on her back so that her bottom was at the edge and her legs dangled off
the side.
He gave her a
hungry look, pushed her legs up closer to her before spreading them wide.
“Leave them like that,” he ordered.
She made a low
“uh” sound in response, never having been so turned on in her entire life. He
pushed her sundress up to the middle of her stomach and licked his lips as he
stared at her panty-clad swollen flesh. She let out a moan in response.
Using only one
finger, he slowly traced the center of her cleft. His breathing was harsh. “I
can feel how wet you are for me even through here.” And just as achingly slow,
he hooked a finger on each side of her underwear by her hip and pulled them off
her, and then spread her legs back open to their previous position.
She felt so
vulnerable, yet so turned on with the way he was hungrily staring at her most
intimate part. He dipped his head, and immediately followed the path his finger
had done, only this time with his tongue. Sasha moaned loudly at the contact.
“Even your pussy
tastes sweet,” he said against her flesh.
Rome tortured her
at first, licking all around her outer and inner lips, avoiding that tight
little bundle of nerves she wanted to beg him to taste until finally, she did
beg. “Please, Rome, please.”
His soft chuckle
against her only made her feel needier until he took pity on her and gave her
what she wanted. He sucked her clit into his mouth, making her whimper, and
then he ate her as if she were his most delicious dessert, lips, tongue, teeth,
driving her to the edge quickly.
She screamed, her
orgasm hitting her so fiercely, it blurred her vision for a moment. His mouth
did not release her until her body calmed.
“You’re so
beautiful when you come,” he said, his voice gravelly.
She gave him a
lazy smile when he stood up to remove his shirt. She sat up then, to undo the
button on his jeans while he watched her with his eyes hooded. She bit her
bottom lip as she lowered his zipper, returning the favor by tormenting him
with her slowness. Then, instead of touching him where he wanted, she traced
the hard lines of his six-pack abs, up to his muscular chest, and then she
brought them lower again all the way down to his perfect V. Rome’s body was a
work of art. Michelangelo’s David
came to mind.
Deciding she
couldn’t wait any longer to taste him,
she freed his hard cock, thick, long, and cut. He was beautiful. He shucked his
pants all the way down, and as soon as he stepped out of them and came closer
to her, she sucked him into her mouth, taking him as far as she could go.
His moans of
enjoyment only urged her on, knowing she was driving him as crazy as he had
her. She licked up and down his shaft a few times before popping him back in,
and concentrating on the head.
“Enough,” he said
gruffly, popping himself out of her mouth. “I want to come inside you.”
