Samantha Martin’s carefully
reconstructed life is teetering on the edge of disaster. After surviving an
abusive childhood, Sam is only months away from completing her hard-won college
degree when she gets devastating news about her brother. Donnie, her protector
and best friend, lies in a coma in a Charleston
Sam struggles with the question
of who shot her beloved brother as well as the monumental expenses of his
ongoing care, and in desperation seeks ready cash by agreeing to act as the
“entertainment” for a local man’s bachelor party – where to her everlasting
mortification, she encounters the one man who’d ever meant enough to her to
break her heart.
Forensic artist Josh Harding
recognizes the butterfly tattoo on the curvaceous hip of the wig-bedecked
stripper. After all, he’d spent hours sketching her lovely figure while a
student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Now here she is, eight years
later, and it becomes clear that Sam is in trouble. Seemingly unrelated threads
weave into a pattern surrounding her and her brother. Exposing criminal enterprise
among the upper echelon of local society and the shocking truth behind the
city’s most famous murder, the unexpected connections that neither Josh nor Sam
saw coming draw them both into a tangled web of love and Deception.
Warning: This title is intended

Interview:
To get started can you tell us what you are working on or
have coming out?
Right now I am working on
OBSESSION, which is the, er, follow-up to the follow-up of my current release,
DECEPTION. The book in between those
two, NEMESIS, will be available in early November.
Which genre(s) do you write and is one of them your favorite?
I write romantic suspense,
because I feel that it combines the best of my two favorite genres.
If someone hasn't read any of your work, what book would you
recommend that they start with and why?
Well, my books are in series
format, so even though they each stand alone, I would recommend beginning with
the first one, SERENDIPITY.
Plotter or Pantser? Why?
I am absolutely a pantser. I admire plotters, I really do, but I never
know where my characters are going to take me when I sit down at the computer. I am definitely character-driven as opposed
to being plot-driven.
About
the Author:
One fine day in the not-too-distant past, Lisa
Clark O’Neill left Wittenberg University with a BA in English, which she
promptly neglected. After working as an interior designer, decorative artist,
and Montessori art teacher (there may have been a BA in art as well,) she
finally settled into the role of mother to two very fine children.
However, two years of doing the stay-at-home-mom
brain cell melt drove her to pull out a pen and one of her old college
notebooks.
That turned into six manuscripts.
Lisa spent subsequent years avoiding housework
by burying her nose in just about every romance novel she could get her hands
on, after completely falling in love with the genre. Her own work falls into
the romantic suspense sub-genre, with strong comedic undertones.
Lisa currently lives in the Atlanta
