His Invisible Wife Release Celebration
It’s official. His Invisible Wife is in stores everywhere. Join in the celebration.
REVENGE…LUST…HOLY MATRIMONY
Texas businessman Jacob “Jake” Banks is about to lose his business and everything else he’s worked for until his uncle dies and leaves him as the executor of his estate–only catch is, he has to marry and marry a specific woman in order to cash in on the inheritance. Big problem, since Jake has vowed to be a bachelor for life.
Brianna Mayfield is at her last rope. Her father lost his business due to Jake’s uncle turning down a loan. She’s convinced this caused her father to fall into a deep depression. She blames the Banks and vows to pay them back one day. When she sees an ad in the paper for a job at her self-proclaimed enemy’s company, she feels her luck is turning around. She applies and is later approached by Jake with a proposition she can’t turn down.

Twenty Questions with the Reluctant Bride
I usually interview my characters before I write a book. I thought it would be fun to share with readers an interview with Brianna Mayfield. Brianna is the main character in my new novel – His Invisible Wife.

1. What is your name? Brianna Mayfield or Bri for short.
2. Do you own a gun? Yes. Being in Dallas, I had to learn how to protect myself.
3. What flavor do you add to your drink at sonic? Man, y’all are personal. Give me a cherry limeade.
4. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Yes. I hate going to the doctor.
5. What do you think of hot dogs? Since you brought up Sonics, I like the chilli cheese long hot dog from Sonics.
6. Favorite Christmas movie? Imitation of Life; the stations here in Dallas always plays the show around Christmas time and I’m guaranteed to cry.
7. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry? The diamond ring I have yet to get.
8. Favorite hobby? Getting revenge on the Banks is my current hobby.
9. What’s one trait you hate about yourself? I don’t hate anything about myself, but I have a long list of things I hate about Jake Banks and his uncle.
10. Middle name? You’re asking too many personal questions.
11. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment: Revenge, Money and Retribution
12. Name 3 things you bought yesterday? I bought some Lingerie, a Safety Deposit Box, and a lock for my door so Jake can’t burst in anytime he gets ready.
13. Do you love where you live? I would if Jake wasn’t here.
14. Current worry? How I am going to deal with Jake for an entire year without stressing myself out.
15. Current hate right now? You should know by now—anybody with the last name of Banks.
16. Favorite place to be? Any room Jake is not in.
17. How did you bring in the New Year? Unfortunately, for the sake of appearance, I had to spend it with Jake at this party he hosted.
18. Does someone have a crush on you? Jake does but he’ll never admit it.
19. Favorite Book? Let’s see…My Invisible Husband by Shelia Goss because that Nikki was something else and oh yeah, The Lip Gloss Chronicles book. Those teens are full of drama; sort of remind me of myself when I was young.
20. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up? I hope no one emails me one of those stupid questionnaires.

You are Invited
Women these days are making just as much (if not more) money than men, so getting a prenupt before marriage isn’t just something to benefit the man anymore. Grant it, the mention of “prenupt” might make a man or woman run away. Especially if they feel that the mere idea of one is a sign that the relationship isn’t as solid as it should be or that the party requesting the other person to sign one doesn’t believe “in their love” enough. A prenupt isn’t personal, it’s business. It’s a way to protect yourself. In the ideal world, “Until death do us part” would be true 100 percent of the time, but unfortunately divorce does happen–especially if relationships are based on false pretenses such as mine and Jake’s.
Do you believe in prenupts? What if you are the one with the money or potential to make a lot of money? Should it be the deciding factor on whether or not you marry? What provisions would you put in your prenuptial agreement?
