Truth or Dare
with the Hero and Heroine from
IF I STAY
IF I STAY kicks off my newest series, an upstairs/downstairs contemporary romance that features a wealthy hotelier family and the staff members who serve them. We begin downstairs with a love affair between the nanny and the chauffeur, though there’s plenty of intrigue from the handsome son of the Montgomery family to keep things interesting. :)
In a game of truth or dare, what would be the worst ‘truth’ for Amy to have to answer?
Where she’s been for the past eight years. She left home at age eighteen to pursue a career in ballet, but things didn’t turn out quite as well as she’d hoped, and she was forced to take a different theatrical career path before finally returning home. Like most happily self-deluded people, she plans on keeping her secret for much longer than she should!
What about Ryan?
How he feels about Amy. He’s attracted to her from almost the first second they meet, but he’s determined to bury his feelings and keep things platonic between them. (Ha! We all know how well that usually turns out.)
What would be easy ‘truths’ for these characters to divulge?
Amy would gladly spill just about every other secret she’s had in her life. Her personal filter lets almost everything through.
Ryan isn’t afraid to talk about the mistakes in his past that shaped him. Although he’s not proud of what caused him to crash and burn and leave his Hollywood stunt driving career behind, he’s willing to own up to it.
What dare would Amy have fun completing?
She wouldn’t say no to being locked in a closet with Ryan for a make-out session or two.
What about Ryan?
A smart truth or dare player would get him behind the wheel of a car and see what he could do. He doesn’t get very many options to show off his stunt driving skills now that he’s a chauffeur, but he’s still itching for speed.

Summary
Ryan Lucas would rather be anywhere but Ransom Creek, Connecticut. After losing his high-adrenaline career as a Hollywood stunt driver, he's had to tuck his tail between his legs and take up employment as a chauffeur for the Montgomerys, a wealthy hotelier family.
Amy Sanders has returned home to Ransom Creek to take over her mother's former position as nanny to the Montgomerys—bringing her close to dashing Jake Montgomery once again. She grew up with a major crush on Jake, and it's not easy to leave those feelings behind, even though her friendship with the hard-edged family chauffeur, Ryan, has a sizzling undercurrent of undeniable attraction.
Amy's determined to prove to Ryan that life at Montgomery Manor isn't all bad, but each time they draw closer Jake swoops in. Amy is torn between two men—and two worlds. And Ryan is rapidly coming to learn that if he wants to make Amy his, he'll have to prove to her that life downstairs can be everything they both want.
Excerpt
Amy scooted out from underneath Ryan and got to shaky legs. Giving in to the indulgence of a backward glance to find him staring openmouthed at her, she lifted her shirt off and tossed it to the hallway floor.
“What are you doing?” he asked, his voice gruff.
She kept moving, an extra sway in her hips as she unbuttoned her shorts and shimmied them off her hips. “Leaving you a trail of bread crumbs in case you get lost along the way.”
“Amy…”
She reached behind her and flicked open her serviceable white cotton bra. The only way to dress up that kind of bland plant material was to dangle it enticingly from one fingertip, which she did as she reached her door. It wasn’t locked—unless someone wanted to steal her ancient ten-pound laptop or her collection of Old World maps, there wasn’t much to take—so she pushed it open and slipped in.
One. Two. Three. Four. She flicked on the lights, assuming Ryan was right behind her. Five. Six. Seven. Was he seriously not going to follow her in here? Eight. Nine. Nine and a half.
She slipped out of her panties—more of the same boring white cotton, though at least they had bits of scalloped lace at the edges—and tossed them out the open door.
Nine and two-thirds. Nine and three-quarters. What the heck came after that?
“Goddammit.” Ryan stormed through the door and tossed all her clothes onto the floor. “Are you trying to kill me?”
He stopped, suspended in a swirl of desire that hit him from all sides, holding him momentarily aloft. In his haste to somehow find the ability to both walk and gather up Amy’s clothes, he’d forgotten that he held all her underclothes. Nothing stood between him and her completely naked body except distance and air—both of which mattered for absolutely zero.
