All about Jennifer--
In the real world, she’s the mother of two amazing daughters and wife of one of the smartest men she knows. She believes humor is the only way to get through the day and does not believe in sharing her chocolate.
She writes contemporary romance, many of which feature Jewish characters in non-religious settings (#ownvoices). She’s published with The Wild Rose Press and all her books are available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
2. When did you first consider yourself a writer? When I signed my first contract with a now-defunct press. It was the greatest feeling in the world.
3. What do you like to do when you are not writing? I hang out with my family as much as possible. In the warmer weather, I garden, and I’m always cooking or baking something. When the pandemic is finally over, I want to travel again.
4. Where are you from and what do you love best about your hometown? I’m from Randolph, NJ, and the thing I like best about my town is its open spaces. We live in the northwestern part of the state, and there are lots of trees, farms, and small towns. There are a ton of walking trails and my husband and I love to take our dog and walk them as often as possible.
5. Do you have a favorite quote or saying? I have two: You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think—A.A. Milne and also: What if I fall? Oh but darling, what if you fly?
6. If you could spend the afternoon with one writer, living or dead, who would it be and what would you talk about? I think I’d like to spend the day with Erma Bombeck. She was a really funny writer who wrote about daily life and had a great way of looking at things. I think talking to her would help keep things in perspective, especially since I believe you can get through anything with laughter.
Naomi's life has been destroyed…
When Naomi Adelman’s crooked politician husband was arrested, her life, and that of her daughters, was destroyed. Divorced and rebuilding her life, Naomi is wiser, stronger, and determined not to let anyone hurt her or her family again. Her new life doesn’t include falling for her charming and good-looking neighbor.
Max bet everything and lost...
Max Bruder bet his entire career on the Adelman story and lost everything. So, he figures that karma has smiled down on him when Naomi moves in next door. This is his chance to revitalize his career. Except the closer he gets to her, the deeper he falls for her. And soon, the line between interview subject and lover blurs.
If they fall for each other, they may jeopardize their chance at a future.
When Max’s true motive is revealed, will Naomi be able to forgive him? And will Max be able to stop the whispers to protect her before it’s too late?
Excerpt
“Problem?”
Max asked. They’d stopped in front of their building.
She
turned so fast, her hair caught on the stubble at his jaw. “No.” She brushed
the hair away from his cheek, the slight textured stubble rubbing against her
palm and sending heat straight to her belly. His lips parted, and he leaned
forward.
Would
he kiss her? Did she want him to? She shouldn’t, she barely knew him, but her
skin tingled, her breasts tightened and her breath came in short gasps.
He
didn’t kiss her. Instead, he reached his free hand out and stroked the side of
her head, smoothing her hair in place. “Yes,” he whispered.
She
frowned, and tried to hide her disappointment. “Yes, what?”
“Your
hair is as silky as I wondered.” He let his hand glide down her neck to her
shoulder, and the contact brought out goose bumps. “Are you cold?” he asked.
She
didn’t know how to answer. Was it okay for her to say, “no, I’m attracted to
you?” Or should she say “yes”?
As
if he understood her dilemma, he let go of her hand, slid his arm behind her
shoulders, and drew her into the warmth of his body.
The
man was a furnace and she wanted to groan in pleasure. They stood toe to toe,
his hand running up and down her spine, her breasts pressed against his hard
chest. Would he kiss her? Should she kiss him? Her brain short circuited and
desire flooded through her. All she could do was focus on the warmth flooding
her, the soothing sound of his humming something she couldn’t quite catch, and
the zings of desire running throughout her body.
