Attorney, Emilia Prado has been living in hiding, ever since the local cartel killed her dad and left her and her mom for dead. But when her long lost cousin needs help leaving her drug lord husband, Emilia knows her time for justice has come.
Hot shot lawyer, Dom Moretti never met a case he couldn’t win. Each win puts distance between him and an old life he wants to forget. But when Emilia, a crush from law school, asks for his help, the life he worked so hard for hangs in the balance.
Out to even the score, Emilia is ready to enact revenge on her father’s killer. But will she risk losing Dom to a side of himself he thought was dead and buried?
~AUTHOR INTERVIEW with Diana A. Hicks~
1) What gave you the inspiration for the storyline?
Love Over Logic was inspired by Romeo and Juliet. I was drawn to the
idea of two lovers who couldn’t be together because of their families and their
pasts. There is plenty of angst in this book, but unlike Romeo and Juliet, Dom
and Emilia do get a happily ever after.
2) Are there any hidden themes in the book that you hope readers will
discover?
From the beginning, I wanted the series to be about second chances.
All three books in the Desert Monsoon series follow the same thread of second
chances. As far as hidden themes, I don’t know if I did a good job of hiding
it, but forgiveness is a big factor in both Emilia and Dom earning their
happily ever after. Other less obvious themes are penance, redemption, power
and wealth, which is why we went with a book cover in various shades of purple.
3) Are any of the characters based on real people you know?
Yes! Mickey was based on a person I used to know. I feel bad admitting
that. If you read the book, you’ll understand why. :-D
4) Who has influenced you most as a writer?
JK Rowling. I know I’m a romance writer and she isn’t, but she’s the
master of writing well-motivated main characters and memorable secondary
characters. I try to do that in my books.
5) If you could have any three literary characters over to your place
for game night, who would you invite, what would you play, what would you
serve, and why?
I love this question. I would invite Hermione, Ron, and Harry over for
a game of Pictionary. We’d drink butter beer and eat muggle snacks, like nachos
or something like that. I mean who wouldn’t want to spend game night with a
group of wizards?
6) Do you feel that you can ever have too many books?
There will never be enough books in the world or on my shelf. :D
