Foreplay on Words

2021

Sometimes even writers need help finding the words… Sex sells. Chase Rodgers has based her entire career as a romance novelist on that exact premise. She’s one of the best in the business at making a reader’s pulse race. This is precisely why she is called in to consult on a novel that can’t quite manage to get it up. Despite building his career on carefully crafted, suspenseful thrillers, Evan Stineman has no clue how to harness his character’s sexuality in his upcoming novel. Increasingly desperate as his deadline looms, he has no other choice but to accept a helping hand from a pro. When Chase and Evan meet, their chemistry is immediate and undeniable. The two novelists embrace their mutual attraction to get Evan’s new book off to the publisher with a newfound sex appeal. As Evan finally starts to open up to Chase, an unwelcome visitor returns from his past. Will this surprise appearance derail all their plans, or will he don his trusty black leather pants and manage to get the girl?

We all don certain masks to protect ourselves, but removing them for the right person isn’t as easy as it sounds. Isobel Typically, spending several days out of the office networking with other publishing professionals would be a treasured break from the constant deadlines and staring at computer screens until my eyes crossed. But when I’m being forced to attend a conference with the man everyone in the office calls D!ickhead, I’m less than enthusiastic. Discovering he wasn’t what he seemed to be caused a heated lapse in judgement that made me realize he might be what I’d been looking for all along. Adrian Living up to my office nickname was a piece of cake, most of the time. Only when I was serendipitously sent on a road trip with the co-worker I knew I shouldn’t fantasize about, I let the facade slip. Attraction was a tricky thing, though, and when we’re asked to collaborate on a project, the lines blurred and I couldn’t help but fall for her. Convincing her to fall for me might be my biggest challenge yet, but when she revealed her deepest desire, I saw an opening I didn’t hesitate to take. Neither of us were prepared for the challenges seeing that dream to fruition would present. But they wouldn’t call it a redemption arc if it was easy.

Find the funny in your life. That’s what EL Koslo strives to do in her life every day. She spent her youth with her nose in a book, often conjuring up storylines in a composition notebook she hid under her mattress. Her love of writing continued on through high school as she served on the school paper and wrote poetry for the literary magazine. At University, she studied Art and Art History where she met her own prince charming after kissing a few frogs, of course. Her love of reading and writing have been a constant in her life with her nose always buried in a book, tablet, or computer—both writing and reading. She resides in the Midwest United States with her husband and four rambunctious children. Her days are filled with driving kids to school, activities, and sports; frequently squeezing writing time in while waiting in the carpool line. Koslo’s characters are often developed while running on the treadmill at the gym, and she has a DVR full of Hallmark movies. Her debut novel, Foreplay on Words, combines her love of steamy romance, awkward but loveable leading males, and headstrong heroines with a dash of humor and a little bit of kink.
