Worth the Risk
Butterfly Harbor Stories Book 11
by Anna J. Stewart
Genre: Clean Contemporary Romance

She’s playing it safe…

He’s anything but!

Famous race car driver Declan Cartwright is only in Butterfly Harbor to recuperate from a devastating crash. But when food truck operator Alethea Costas literally falls into his arms, he realizes the sleepy seaside town has more to offer than he imagined. Alethea is drawn to the charming daredevil despite her cautious nature. Can he show her that taking a chance on life—and love—is worth the risk?

Moving across the large front yard was an adventure in tetanus avoidance. The property was a mess, from the overgrown yard to the tarp-covered something that had probably been a car in a previous life. Junk and debris, from car parts to plywood scraps, had piled up to the point of merging into an unidentifiable blob. Add in some nuclear waste and it would probably form into a comic book super villain.
The whirring continued, this time accompanying an energetic, male and very off-key declaration to “shake it off.” Stifling a laugh, she approached the door and poked her head just inside.
A dark figure dropped straight down like a giant spider splayed on an industrial metal web.
Alethea yelped and jumped back. She’d have landed right on her butt if a large, rough hand hadn’t reached out and caught hers. Rather than steadying her, she found herself yanked forward and into the solid embrace of her caterwauling mystery man.
“Oh, wow.” She grabbed hold of his shoulders as he swayed, feet dangling a good few feet off the ground, at the end of a harness and pullied rope. His hold on her was steady, sturdy, and, as he shifted his grip, seemed to be sending tiny little shock waves rocketing through her system. She blinked, clearing the surprise from her eyes and drew him into focus.
Long, shoulder-length dark blond hair. A good three days growth of beard covering what she suspected was a stone-carved jaw. His gray eyes reminded her of a summer storm, with lightning bolt sparks of amusement curving his full lips into an entertained smile. “Wow.” She said again as the flush warmed her face.
“Sorry to scare you.” He released her, reached down to unhook himself from the rope, and still hung onto it while he lowered his feet to the ground. “Lost my hold on the rope. You all right?”
“I’m fine.” She stepped back, tucked an invisible curl behind her ear and shoved her suddenly shaky hands into her pockets. His voice carried a hint of the South and coated her roughened heart like smooth molasses. She took a deep breath and wondered when the combination of leather, sawdust and sweat had become appealing? “I called out from the house.” She had to shout over the music. “But I guess you didn’t hear me.” She inclined her chin toward the Bluetooth speaker that continued to blare. “Nice music.”

How long did it take you to write your book?

Anna

1/1/2022 08:28:32 am

Most of my books take about 6-8 weeks to write. At least for this length of story. I’m fortunate enough to write full time so the only thing in my way is me. Lol.

The cover looks sweet! hmm How do you handle writers block?

Anna

1/2/2022 10:33:10 am

I think there are two different kinds of writers’ block. One is when you just don’t know what to write next and you stare at the cursor. To me, that means I’ve gone wrong somewhere, usually with the conflict or motivation. In that case I go back to the part of the story that felt right and rework from that point forward. Usually that’ll take care of it.

The other writers’ block comes from the outside. When you just can’t get the energy or enthusiasm to write. The idea of trying is just paralyzing or exhausting. That’s when I know I need to just give myself permission to be okay with that. Writing can energize but also drain. Paying attention to when you are drained is one way to refill the well. That’s when I read a lot or binge a thing show or just do stuff that makes me happy. Even thinking about writing is writing. It doesn’t always have to be about the words on the page. Just don’t get lost in the distractions. At some point you need to get back to it If you’re going to move forward with your publishing goals. :)

How did you come up with this idea to write a book about?

Anna J Stewart

1/7/2022 10:46:02 am

Hi, Sarah. Alethea's story's been in my head since she first walked on the page in HOLIDAY KISSES. I knew a lot of her backstory then, so it was just a matter of finding the right hero for her (one that would give me some good internal conflict to work with). A racecar driver and a self-protective food trucker operator seemed a good fit <G>.

Anna J Stewart

1/25/2022 01:45:03 pm

I hate to say it, but honestly, everything! For this book, I knew I wanted a risk-taking hero to pair off with cautious Alethea. Aren't many professions riskier than a race car driver, LOL. But I've been inspired by everything from a walk on TV character to a conversation I overheard at the grocery store! Never telling what's going to spark a book idea. :)

1/15/2022 04:42:31 pm

This sounds like a great book with that first-meeting jolt that leads to hot romance.
