My inspiration for Alice in Tempting Love came from a local artist, Hayden, creator of beautiful mosaics and owner of Hay Simplicty.
I bought a a crab mosaic from a store on Main Street in my town, making a mental note to check with the store owner at some point about the artist so I could include her mosaics in one of my books. Shortly after, I discovered the artist is actually my realtor's daughter. I immediately reached out to ask Hayden how she got started and her process for creating them. You can read all about it in Tempting Love.
Hayden's signature mosaic is the crab, and what Maryland is known for, but she also makes hearts, four-leave clovers, eggs, bunnies, dolphins, palm trees, surf boards, table tops, and the list goes on and on.
I was writing Tempting Love at the time, and it fit perfectly with Alice's story. Alice is Elle's younger sister from Infamous Love, and she moved to Telluride to start over. She he has this talent for art that her parents always criticized. She's never pursued it before, but maybe it's the perfect time to find out who she really is.
Hayden was gracious enough to create a heart mosaic and stickers with the colors from Tempting Love's cover. I'll be giving these away along with special edition hardcovers when Tempting Love releases on retailers May 9th.
If you'd like to read Alice's story now, you can buy it on my shop, get it FREE in the Mountain Haven Box Set, or get 7 books half off in the single dad bundle.
Aren't these mosaics gorgeous?
Wyatt King isn’t looking for love…because he’s already found it. Too bad she’s off-limits. He’s not going to be the jerk who messes around with his best friend’s little sister, so he keeps his feelings bottled up and settles for acting as her protector instead.
FML. I will never believe anything a man tells me, ever again.
I was a good girl who had nothing left to lose, literally. My ex-boyfriend had stolen everything except a non-refundable plane ticket to Paris, which was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime where that deadbeat was going to propose at the top of the Eiffel Tower. So, I got on the plane without him.
