One of my favorite things to do as I’m writing is to create a Pinterest Board
and a Spotify playlist that match the theme of my book. I start adding songs to
my playlist as soon as I begin a story and continue, adding as I write. The same
is true of my Pinterest board. By the time my manuscript is complete I have the
journey well documented. Even more thrilling is when one of my readers shares
graphic artwork that they’ve created after reading one of my books.
As an author, I love the glimpse into my readers’ concept of my characters, and
considering whether it pairs well with my own vision. Like other art forms,
reading is in the eye of the beholder. Many of us who like to read also love to
discuss books. These discussions yield similar opinions and often open my eyes
to something I hadn’t considered. For the same reason, when someone shows me my
work through their eyes, it’s a huge RUSH! :-). The quote picture images on this
board were created by one of my gracious readers! Thanks @wishfulmiss! You can
see more RUSH images on my Pinterest Board and hear the full RUSH Spotify soundtrack by following the links.
Shae Ross was born and raised in Ferndale, Michigan. After graduating high
school, Ms. Ross attended Michigan State University and continued her education
at Detroit College of Law. Prior to 2014, she spent the majority of her career
practicing corporate law, running a successful business and engaged in

After having one too many stressful days at the

writing.
Armed with an English degree, an interest in historical settings
and a huge collection of romance novels, Ms. Ross put pen to paper and began
converting the characters in her head to ink. She soon found herself happily
immersed in a new working world that included heroes and heroines, agents and
editors, and a multitude of secondary characters. She currently writes in the
new adult and contemporary romance genres and lives with her husband and three

Priscilla Winslow has a mouth that spits fiery sarcasm faster than I can
throw a touchdown. But I’ve wanted her ever since I saw her in that Bo Peep
outfit on Halloween. Yep, I’m a sheep who will follow that little hottie
anywhere. There’s one problem…she hates me. Just because we ended up in jail and
quite possibly ruined both our futures...
They’re changing the rules…
College Quarterback Preston Rush is living the dream. He’s leading his team
to the National Championship and days away from earning a ‘first round draft
pick’ label. When he meets Little Bo Peep at a Halloween party, he thinks he’s
scored big. Instead, he wakes up in a jail cell with the corseted beauty.
Because of him, she’s in trouble and when he discovers her true identity, he
realizes, his nightmare is just beginning.
The always shooting-for-perfection Priscilla Winslow can’t believe her good
deed has cost her a soccer career. Even though she knows it isn’t Preston’s
fault, she can’t forgive him for the disaster that is her life. She just wishes
her damn body would get the message. Every time she sees him, it’s all she can
do not to kiss him.
When everything crashes down around him, Preston will have to decide if doing
the right thing is worth losing it all.
