The Story Behind This Book
I'm interested in romances where there is an inherent difference in power between the two people involved. I'm not talking about a dom/sub kind of relationship (though Redemption does have elements of that), but more about there being a kind of tension present that has nothing to do with whatever outside forces also challenge the lovers' chance at happiness. I began writing Redemption in the midst of our current global recession. I happened to see a news feature about people selling their worldly possessions on Ebay so they could make the next month's rent. I remember wondering, 'What happens when there's nothing left to sell?' That's Jason's dilemma when Redemption begins. He's an average guy. He has a job and his lifestyle isn't extravagant. But there's rent to pay, school loans hanging over his head, and a bank account without a whole lot of zeros on the end of the balance. So when his family is in danger and he needs credits quickly, he doesn't have a lot of resources. It doesn't take long before he realizes his most valuable possession is his life. Luckily for him, Devin Blair is the man who buys it. Devin was born into very different circumstances. He has the means to purchase whatever catches his eye--high end real estate; the best clothes; not one, but two private spacecrafts. He's never known fear or need, at least when it came to money. But he's lonely in the wake of his divorce and unsure if he can ever trust enough to love again. He's looking for companionship and a little something extra. When Jason and he meet, their lives take a new and unexpected turn. The question is whether they will survive to make the journey together. I hope you enjoy Redemption ~ Livvie
