So, Carly Phillips, Krista Lakes and Lauren Hawkeye have written stories set in the world of H.M. Ward's The Arrangement. Such a fascinating concept and I can't wait to read them all! We are lucky enough to get a guest post from Carly Phillips. So, let's giver her a big hello!!
Revenge is a Dish Best … Not
Served – Or is it?
By Carly Phillips
Writing The Seduction was a
challenge for me on another level – Revenge books usually aren’t my thing. I
can’t quite get my head around a hero who would continue his quest for revenge
once he’s met the heroine … and yet as I wrote this story, it just worked. Part
of the reason revenge works in The Seduction is that Zach’s reasons are SO
compelling. If you’ve read The Arrangement, you know that Sean Ferro’s actions
cause a woman to have a mental breakdown … and I made my hero this woman’s
brother. This wasn’t revenge for money
or power, the usual reason a romance hero or heroine wants revenge. Nor was it
a lover scorned. This was a man who deeply loved his sibling, who felt he
should have done more when she was in “trouble” before getting involved with a
man with demons like Sean’s. And when he chooses the heroine as his target,
it’s a last resort situation. She’s the only one he can find whose pain might
hurt this man – who seems to feel little for anyone.
But how can he continue once he
meets the heroine? Once he’s drawn to her? Once he is actually involved? Well
that’s the interesting thing, isn’t it? And you’ll have to read to find how why
Zach is still a sympathetic hero. I love my hard edged Zach and I hope you do
too!

ABOUT THE SEDUCTION
Revenge is a dish
best not served …
Zach Anders swears to get revenge on Sean Ferro for hurting his sister. The
best way to accomplish his goal? Hurt someone close to him in return.
No one can get near Ferro’s on again - off again fiancée - so Zach sets his
sights on the next best thing, the woman Sean considers family, the girl who
grew up next door, Chloe Reynolds. The plan seems simple -- get close, find her
weak spot, exploit it and walk away.
Then Zach meets Chloe and he falls hard. And fast. How can he use her for
revenge when he wants to keep her for himself?
