Hello! I’m so happy to be here
today with my new release, I’m Not in Love…
…where the JADED STUDENT ARTIST
falls hard for the CLASSROOM NUDE MODEL!!
I appreciate the warm welcome.
If you’re reading this—an author’s guest blog post on a
romance blog—you probably love to read. And you love to read romance novels
most. Yeah, me too.
But the experience can vary… or can it?
Let’s put it this way: You’ve got a book. And it’s a good
one… Just the right amount of mystery, passion, angst. You’re completely
intrigued… You could be clutching a hardcover, a paperback, a Kindle… Whatever
works for you is fine by me.
**For the reading experience to be perfect—ideal in every
way—where do you take you book to read?**
What is your ideal book nook?
I’ve come up with a few. By no means is this all of
the possible book nooks—I mean, you could carry your cherished read up
into a tree house for an extra degree of privacy… and I don’t have an image of
that. I chose some classic book nooks. Which of these would deliver the perfect
reading moment? Or do you have a special place—maybe only known to you—that
reading is best?

Wherever you go with your treasured novel, I certainly hope
you’ll give Remi and Tristan’s love story a chance! I’m Not in Love is
the story of a wealthy jaded art student who becomes a little bit obsessed by
his life drawing class’s nude model. Remi insists he’s not in love… but I think
he protests too much.

I’m not in love…
I’m not in love…
I will never let myself fall in love with Tristan Wilder.
And maybe if I tell myself this a thousand times, I’ll believe it.
Having lost his parents to a tragic accident when he was nine-years old, wealthy hotel heir Remi (Julian Remington III) refuses to form intimate emotional bonds, fearing a repeat of the crushing loss that destroyed his childhood. This means no deep friendships, no heartfelt family ties, and God forbid should he ever fall in love… Well, it’s safe to say that will never happen.
However, as a senior at the top art college in Garner City—his last year of freedom before he’s required to take his place at the top of the Remington family empire—Remi freely explores sexual intimacy with “distractingly” beautiful men. And he does so with great enthusiasm—how better to distract himself from the temptation to experience tender human connection?
Remi’s plans for emotional isolation are shook up when he meets Tristan Wilder, a nude model for his life drawing class. Stunningly beautiful from head to toe—and inside his heart, as well—Tristan struggles to scrape together enough money to support his twin sister, Tara, and her three young children. Like Remi, “Uncle Tris” is unwilling to enter a romantic relationship—his responsibility to his family is all-consuming. As the men take a chance on casual friendship, Remi comes to admire Tristan’s devotion to his family. And with Remi’s surprisingly doting attention to Tara’s children, he works his way into Tristan’s heart.
Tristan is finally all in, but can commitment phobic Remi lower his walls enough to allow Tristan—and the entire Wilder family—into his heart?
Mia focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young men and their relationships, and she believes that sex has a place in a love story, but not until it is firmly established as a love story. As a teen, Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with romantic tales of tortured heroes (most of whom happened to strongly resemble lead vocalists of 1980s big-hair bands) and stuffed them under her mattress for safekeeping. She is thankful to Dreamspinner Press for providing her with an alternate place to stash her stories.
Mia is proud of her involvement with the Human Rights Campaign and cheers for each and every victory made in the name of marital equality. Her only major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.
My themes I always write about:
Sweetness. Unconventional love, tortured/damaged heroes- only love can save them.
Mia Kerick focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young men within the boundaries of blossoming, supportive relationships. She believes that sex has a place in a love story, but not until it is firmly established as a love story. And Mia’s stories are centered around a certain theme: even heroes can be sweet. Sweet, but not completely innocent.
