I needed to know about the character and watch her story unfold.

 Uh-oh! Back the Truck Up. We’ve Got a Big Change.

I’ve written thirty-seven published books. Yet, every single book is different. Some books seem to practically write themselves. In other books, the characters are shy and need a bit of coaxing before I fully get them and essential elements of their story line come together. Zarina Michaels, of When It Comes to You, has turned out to be one of those elusive, enigmatic characters for me. She’s been

Quotes by Reese Ryan  (?)

“To be fair, we had this conversation when he and I were fourteen. Long before you enlightened us on the error of our anti-feminist tendencies. Still, it's a promise I've always taken seriously. Especially since, at the time, I did see you as a little sister. Obviously, things have changed since them.”
Reese Ryan, His Until Midnight

“Tessa: But the article...they're expecting us to go to the game, if we don't...we'll, everyone will think
Ryan: Doesn't matter what they think. It only matters what you and I want. What do you want Tess?
Tessa: I want both. To go to the game, as expected, and to spend the day in bed making love to you.”
Reese Ryan, His Until Midnight

“I want something more with you, Tessa, because we're good together. We always have been. The sex is only a small component of what makes us fit so well together. I would think that our twenty plus years of friendship should be evidence enough of that.”
Reese Ryan, His Until Midnight

“The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. ”
Goldie Hawn
