Goodreads asked Lisa Rayne:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lisa Rayne Sometime in 2012, Avon Impulse put out several submission requests. One was for "New Year's Eve and Other Disasters," which called for novellas about New Year's—"the bad, the good, and the romantic." The goal was to surprise the editors with how you made your story fit into the theme. Upon reading that request, the New Year's Eve party scene from the first chapter of COUNSELOR UNDONE immediately popped into my head. I built the story from there. I saw the submission request too late to complete a manuscript in time to make the submission deadline, but the scene it inspired made a great start for a single title romance.
