INTERVIEW:

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

It honestly depends because there are sooo many good flavors! At Baskin Robbins it’s always Chocolate Mousse Royale. We have a local place, Ruby Jewel, that makes amazing ice cream sandwiches and I love their lemon lavender, which are lemon cookies with a honey lavender ice cream. Delicious!!

Which mythological creature are you most like?

Okay, so I totally found a quiz at National Geographic to tell me what kind of mythological creature I am and the answer is…unicorn! Some of the things it asked me: sidekick animal (cat), type of story I like (historical fiction), sky, sea, earth, wind, or fire (earth), magical item (wand).

 

First book you remember making an indelible impression on you.

The first romance that made me desperate to read more was Ashes in the Wind by Kathleen Woodiwiss. That book features a secret identity, which is my favorite trope! It’s also a good enemies to lovers book.

 

How do you develop your plot and characters?

I generally get the kernel of an idea—usually characters first. Then I think about it and think about it, making notes along the way, until the idea is fully baked. Or mostly baked. 😉 It’s generally important for me to fully understand the backstory of my main characters before I start writing.

 

Describe your writing space.

I redesigned it last fall when I replaced the flooring—carpet for manufactured hardwood that the cats can abuse! I have a large desk with pretty bookshelves filled with my books, my friends’ books, my keeper books, and many favorite, cherished things. My walls are decorated with family pictures, art done by my kids (who are both artistically inclined), and posters from Dave Matthews Band concerts, which I collect. In determining how to resituate my office, the one thing that was certain was moving my comfy writing chair, which I bought a few years ago, to the corner next to the window where I can look out over the valley and the hills opposite. It’s a beautiful view and in the winter, I get the sunset, which is lovely. 

BLURB:

 

Jessamine Goodfellow has spent six Seasons avoiding the parson’s trap, and spinsterhood is finally within her grasp. A brilliant scholar, she longs for adventure and new experiences, things her family frowns upon. Presented with the opportunity to use her puzzle-solving talent on a secret mission for the Foreign Office, Jess eagerly accepts. Even when it means posing as the wife of a scorchingly attractive Scotsman who she must also covertly investigate as a possible double agent.

 

Lord Dougal MacNair, the new Viscount Fallin, has always completed his assignments for the Foreign Office alone. Now he’s saddled with an overly enthusiastic amateur partner. She possesses a remarkable intellect, but something about her isn’t quite right, and after two failed missions, Dougal is certain someone is working against him. Battling their secret suspicions, Dougal and Jess dive deep into their cover as a married couple, which arouses temptations they find irresistible. Danger is all around them, but it’s their hearts that may be the most imperiled.

EXCERPT:

 

 

 

“Tell me why I’ve hurried back.”

 

“A mission to the Dorset coast. You leave in a week.”

 

Dougal frowned. “If I don’t leave for a week, why am I here now?”

 

Lucien hesitated the barest moment. “Because you need time to prepare with your partner.”

 

“My what?”

 

Voices in the hall interrupted further conversation because a moment later, Lucien’s butler announced the arrival of Lady Pickering and Miss Jessamine Goodfellow. Dougal was very familiar with Lady Pickering, but the other white woman was unknown to him. Taller than most ladies, Miss Goodfellow possessed vivid cobalt eyes that assessed him with a keen curiosity. Indeed, her unabashed attention could only mean one thing—that she was to be his partner.

 

Lady Pickering moved her vigilant gaze toward him. “I’m pleased you could arrive so quickly, Lord Fallin. I do apologize that you were called away at this time.”

 

Dougal inclined his head. “I am always eager to serve.”

 

“One of your best qualities.” Lady Pickering turned slightly toward the young lady. “Jessamine, this is Lord Fallin.” Lady Pickering then looked to Dougal. “Allow me to present Miss Jessamine Goodfellow. She will be your wife on this endeavor.”

 

“My what?” First, he had a partner, and now he had a wife?

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

 

Darcy Burke is the USA Today Bestselling Author of sexy, emotional historical and contemporary romance. Darcy wrote her first book at age 11, a happily ever after about a swan addicted to magic and the female swan who loved him, with exceedingly poor illustrations. Click here to Join her Reader Club.

 

A native Oregonian, Darcy lives on the edge of wine country with her guitar-strumming husband, artist daughter, and imaginative son who will almost certainly out-write her one day (that may be tomorrow).

 

They’re a crazy cat family with two Bengal cats, a small, fame-seeking cat named after a fruit, an older rescue Maine Coon with attitude to spare, and a collection of neighbor cats who hang out on the deck and occasionally venture inside. You can find Darcy at a winery, in her comfy writing chair, or binge-watching TV with the family.

 

Her happy places are Disneyland, Labor Day weekend at the Gorge, Denmark, and anywhere in the UK—so long as her family is there too.
