Jennifer Vido: What inspired your new release, BLUE BLOOD MEETS BLUE COLLAR? Cynthia St. Aubin: When writing Bad Boy with Benefits, the third book in the Kane Heirs series, I quickly realized that Law Renaud’s older brother Remy had his own story to tell. I found myself really curious about what kind of heroine could stand up to the sarcastic, sometimes surly single dad with a chip on his shoulder and a distillery to run. I loved the idea of pitting Remy against Cosima Lowell, a smart-mouthed Los Angeles-based reality TV producer with a New England pedigree and a secret agenda. Basically, Blue Blood Meets Blue Collar was a shamelessly perfect opportunity to combine several of my great loves: whisky, docudramas, and second chance romances.   Jen: How did Cosima Lowell and Remy Renaud meet? Cynthia: I thought long and hard about what circumstances would have landed these two characters from such different backgrounds in the same place at the same time. At a smoky little biker bar outside of Memphis, their shared love of motorcycles and mischief sets them on a fast ride to a one-night stand that winds up having consequences that stretch into the decade that passes…

Exclusive Excerpt of NEVERMORE BOOKSTORE:   The set-up: For stubbornly optimistic small-town bookstore owner Cady Bloomquist, her weekly phone calls with Fox are the perfect opportunity to escape a body that frequently makes life difficult for her, and a life whose challenges are stacked against her. Despite her attempts to convince herself that their conversations are best kept strictly business, she finds herself straying ever closer to pleasure. Fox is a mountain man survivalist who no longer has use for the civilized world. When he’s alone in the wilderness, he relies on books to keep him tethered to his humanity. In order to obtain the books, he places an order with a local bookshop every week. What began as a customer/seller relationship quickly bloomed into something more as the connection to the woman on the other end of the line became undeniable. Now, he’s developed impossible feelings for a woman he’s never even laid eyes on before. Here is where one of their conversations lead:   EXERPT: “Can I ask you something?” The tone of her voice pierced his warm haze with doubt. Running a hand over his still-drying hair, he tugged with frustration at his uncharacteristic lack of control…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Cynthia St. Aubin!     Writes: (short description of new book/genre) The original squirrel, Cynthia can’t stick to purely one genre and scampers back and forth between a snarky, silly paranormal rom-com-mysteries (Tails from the Alpha Art Gallery) and steamy, trope-tastic contemporary romances centered around smoke-show billionaire siblings (The Kane Heirs).   Whether she’s turning up the temperature in corner offices or making mischief for a ramshackle pack of werewolf artists, you can expect tons of tension, buckets of banter, all the feels, and most likely gratuitous food/adult beverage descriptions. CORNER OFFICE CONFESSIONS, her very first novel with Harlequin Desire, is a twin-rivalry second chance romance with all the fixins!   About – Cynthia’s very favorite thing is to make people laugh. An art history aficionado and foodie, she’s likely to corner you at parties and tell you way too much about Cambezola cheese (seriously though, go try it immediately) or obscure 19th century French painters. A bone fide bird nerd, she’s her happiest…
