Goodreads asked S.F. Lazorro:

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

S.F. Lazorro I wanted to create a plot that stepped away from the old standard of the ladies man/alpha male/emotionally disfunctional millionaire that is drawn to the heroine. While some of these plots are good, I feel they have become incessantly repetitive.

I am more interested in plots where the characters expierience a combination of difficult and unexpected circumstances that they may not control, and use thier hearts and thier minds to create something amazing.

A situation with an arranged marriage pushes the characters to balance their own personal goals for the arrangement (goals which do not coincide) with doing what is necessary to make arrangement work, and explore new oppourtunities with that other person that neither had thought possible. This makes the beginning of story restrictive but opens the door to endless possibilities.
