Tonya Preece
Publication date: September 16th 2022
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Synopsis:
Alex is captivated by Eva and promises to protect her privacy. Yet he has a secret of his own—the fling he had with an older woman is fraught with scandalous potential for him and now Eva. He broke free of that mistake months ago, or so he thought. As things heat up with Eva, his old flame returns and won’t leave him alone.
Just when Alex thinks he has the reins on the situation, his ex teams up with a gossip reporter hell-bent on invading Eva’s privacy. The resulting exposé, with a sly spin on a recent encounter with his ex, is Alex’s worst nightmare, and Eva’s unsure what to believe. Can she face the world with Alex at her side or will she return into hiding?

Best and worst things about being a writer
One of the best things about being a writer is getting positive reader feedback, especially from complete strangers who aren’t just friends trying to be nice or not hurt your feelings. The writing community is another one of the best things about being a writer. I don’t know what I’d do without my local critique partners who’ve become great friends, and I’ve met several writers online through social media who have become friends. I think, for me, the worst thing about being a published writer is imposter syndrome. Who am I compared to “real” authors?
