Author: MK Schiller
Genre: Multi-Cultural, Contemporary Romance

Blurb:
When a man loves a woman
Recovering addict Nick Dorsey finds solace in his regimented life. That is until he meets Shyla Metha. Something about the shy Indian beauty who delivers take-out to his Greenwich Village loft inspires the reclusive writer. And when Shyla reveals her desire to write a book of her own, he agrees to help her. The tale of a young Indian girl growing up against a landscape of brutal choices isnāt Nickās usual territory, but something about the story, and the beautiful storyteller, draws him in deep.
Shyla is drawn to Nick, but she never imagines falling for him. Like Nick, Shyla hails from a village, tooā¦a rural village in India. They have nothing in common, yet he makes her feel alive for the first time in her life. She is not ready for their journey to end, but the plans sheās made cannot be brokenā¦not even by him. Can they find a way to rewrite the next chapter?

I am a wife and mother of two loveable, but angst-ridden teenagers, that provide great material for my craft. Although I love to write, I am a reader first and enjoy nothing more than curling up with a good book and some tasty Italian (the food, of course!). I hope you enjoy my stories.

Excerpt 1
She shrugged. āThe writingās good, but I didnāt care for the characters.ā
āWhy not?ā
āThey felt one-dimensional. He comes across as a womanizing, self-indulgent fool.ā
Nick arched his brow, his lips quirking into a grin. āHeās got his faults, but I wouldnāt describe him that way.ā
āAs bad as he was, though, the heroine was even worse. She seemed stupid and fakeā¦almost vapid. She was always getting herself into trouble and falling into hot water.ā Encouraged by his amused smile, she continued, āAnd I refer to hot water in the literal sense. The one I read, the girl was suspended from the ceiling over a pot of boiling water until Max Montero swooped in at the last minute.ā
āIt was acid, and he likes saving beautiful women from danger. Whatās wrong with that?ā
āShe could have saved herself, or better yet, not gotten into the situation. And heā¦well, he could have been nicer to her in general.ā
āNot every hero comes in a one-size-fits-all package, Shyla. Donāt hold back, though. Tell me what you really think.ā
āOkay, I will. I can appreciate a different kind of hero, but Iād like one with a functioning set of scruples. In the scheme of things, these books donāt deserve shelf space with the others. They definitely fall into the dime store drivel category.ā
āOuch,ā Nick said, pouring himself another drink. āI donāt think you understand the concept of sarcasm.ā
She opened and shut her mouth as the realization hit her. āYou were joking when you asked me to tell you what I really thought?ā
āYeah, but donāt worry about it.ā
āSo, what do you do for a living?ā she asked, anxious to change the subject. It was possible sheād accidently insulted one of his favorite novelists.
āIām an author.ā
āHave you written anything I might have read?ā
āThe dime store drivel youāre holding.ā
Uh oh.
Excerpt 2
āWhat are the other meanings for shucks?ā she asked.
āIt has many definitions. It can be a husk on the outer layer of corn. Or it can mean worthless.ā She gave him a questioning look so he offered an example, dropping his voice slightly. āLike I donāt give a shucks about what we do as long as we do it together.ā Her face flushed slightly, her smile turning suggestive. Encouraged, he dropped his voice a few octaves more. Test the water, Dorsey, but donāt fucking dive in! āOr it could mean to discard.ā
āDiscard?ā
āAs in peel off. For example, she shucked off her black T-shirt in a hurry.ā His feet dipped into the complicated waters heād avoided, waters that could heat up to boiling point if they kept creeping down this dangerous path.
āI see. So if I said, do you mind if we donāt shuck tonight, that would be a proper use?ā
Nick opened his mouth to respond, to try to eat up the words already spilling out into the atmosphere, but she held up her hand, and her lips parted slightly. āBut I hope we do shuck one day.ā
Naughty girl.
