Six Sentence Sunday: Interview with the Daredevil

Today's Six Sentence Sunday snippet is taken from my current release, INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL.

Ava and Roman meet under interesting circumstances (colliding in a hotel swimming pool).
Ava, freshly divorced and the ex-PM's daughter, can't help flirting with the hot extreme sports fanatic.

“You’re a sporting neophyte.”

“I’ll have you know I’ve taken great interest in Aussie Rules since I’ve moved to Melbourne, and I watch the tennis and the occasional golf.”


“That’s because you like men in tight shorts, Nadal’s broad shoulders and Adam Scott’s torso when he swings a club.”


Laughter twitched her lips. “Let me know whether to pack my binoculars when I come watch you get pulled behind a boat on a ridiculously small board.”


“Neophyte and a perv.”

Release day: Interview with the Daredevil

Release day for INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL was actually last week but with the excitement of the pitch contest, I waited until now to announce.

Here's the blurb:

The man behind the headlines…



After spending the last few years as the perfect political wife, Ava’s finally single and free to live her life as she chooses – away from the paparazzi.

She starts her new life as a freelance writer with a massive scoop: an interview with extreme sports legend – and dreamboat! – Roman Gianakis. The immediate chemistry is all-consuming, but Roman lives his life firmly in the public eye. To match him, she’ll have to step up next to him. Till now she’s always wished she could hide in the wings – is she ready to embrace centre stage

Here's what one satisfied reader had to say:

I have to admit that this is the first book I have read by Nicola and wow am I impressed. To paraphrase Jerry Maguire "You had me at ..." the mention of George Clooney. Loved both characters Ava and Roman to bits and I read this book in one sitting (& really late into the night) - I just couldn't put it down. Locations were fab and just made me itch to go and see it for myself (someday) and the chemistry and emotion throughout just got me (yes there were tears from me!).


Rollicking good read and very highly recommended. Now must find other titles by Nicola to read!

BLACK FRIDAY BOOK BONANZA

I saw Black Friday mentioned on Twitter a lot last year and as it has negative connotations in Australia (referring to a bushfire where many people lost their lives and homes) I asked what it was about.

I like the US version of Black Friday much better! Bargain shopping, what's not to like?

This year, rather than rushing to the shops, pick up loads of free books with the BLACK FRIDAY BOOK BONANZA.

Hosted by BookSavvyBabe, The Bawdy Book Blog and Alive on the Shelves, you can check out all the fab blogs involved here.

Daredevil

Hardcopies of my upcoming release INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL just arrived and I took a quick pic on my phone.

I thought this guy had impact on the Riva cover (but the sticker on his forehead detracted!)

Having him on the whole cover...now that's another story entirely!

Love this!

What do you think?

COVER REVEAL: Interview with the Daredevil

I have 2 new covers to reveal and they couldn't be more different!

The first is for my Feb 2012 Presents Extra, INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL.

Set in the luxurious Palazzo Versace (and yes, I researched first hand!) it features an extreme sports hero and the PM's daughter fresh from divorce.

As the cover says, 'when opposites attract...sparks fly!'

Tomorrow, the softer, pastel cover for my next Harlequin Romance.

Cover reveal for Interview with the Daredevil

Courtesy of my lovely ed at M&B London, here's the cover for INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL, releasing in December in the UK.

What do you think?

(and yes, if you click on the link to the book, you will see naked George Clooney in a swimming pool!)

New titles!

I've had word from London that my December RIVA release featuring this man has a title.

INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL.

Considering that's exactly what the heroine, Ava, gets to do at the fabulous Palazzo Versace, the title is rather apt.

And the book I've just started writing is already scheduled and titled:

WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE? will be a Jan Riva/Harlequin Romance release.

Guess I better write Rory and Gemma's story pronto!
