Pitch Imperfect
by Elise

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once-famous
singer Anjuli Carver has returned to tiny Heaverlock Village alone and nearly
broke. She’s poured every last penny into a rambling Victorian manor, hoping to
start over. Trouble is, her money pit is falling to pieces and the only
restoration architect for miles is Rob Douglas…her ex-fiancé.
For
eight years, Rob has regretted not telling Anjuli why he never answered her
letters. Being left at the altar broke his heart, but being used for sex one
night in London after the fact nearly drove him to the edge of sanity, and
he’ll be damned if he allows Anjuli to wreak havoc on his life again. He’ll
restore her manor, all right, and give her taste of her own medicine while he’s
at it.
But
how long can revenge last when memories of their shared past keep rushing to
the surface?
Soon,
Rob wants answers. Why did Anjuli leave the international spotlight to become a
recluse in the Scottish Borderlands? And why does she refuse to sing? Anjuli
wants nothing more than to be left alone with her grief, even as she struggles
to keep her sexy fantasies about Rob in check. With gossipy villagers,
interfering friends and more secrets between them than notes on a scale, Anjuli
and Rob will need to find forgiveness in order to work together, then decide if
they’re willing to risk it all on an encore performance.
Learn a little about the author:
Do you ever wish you
were someone else? Who?
When
I was a child I used to wish I was a boy. My mother refused to allow me to cut
my long hair so one day I took a scissors and did it myself. I wore scruffy
jeans or trousers, played sports and ran around, wild. I didn’t want to dress
up Barbie or pretend I was a princess in a castle. I fantasised about battling
knights or meeting aliens, zooming off to different worlds on wild adventures.
My mother despaired that my best friend was mischievous boy, and we did fun
things like camp outs and hiking. These days my best friend is also a
‘mischievous boy’—my husband and my lover. But, oh, am I glad I’m a woman.
What are you working
on right now?
I’m
writing a new adult romance, provisionally titled Clueless, about a twenty year
old American girl who takes her sister’s place as the new nanny to a
millionaire family in London. She’s never been abroad, never worked with
children and certainly never impersonated her mature, responsible sister! The
family isn’t all that they seem, and neither is their bodyguard, and she’s soon
biting on more than she can chew—in more ways than one. There’s humour,
intrigue and of course, sexy times!
I’m
also outlining the next novel in my Scottish Borders series. This book follows
Rob’s twin, Ben, as he battles his demons—and his overwhelming attraction to
the unlikeliest of heroines. Straight-talking glass blower Sage Mastel isn’t
about to fall for a policeman with a vendetta against a local drug ring. Most
of the pieces in her new exhibition are the same shade of his steely blue eyes
because, well, she likes that colour.

Elise reads, writes and revels in romance, and is never happier
than when caught up in a heart-thumping, sweat-your-socks-off tale—hers or
somebody else’s. She loves creating stories about flawed characters, people for
whom love isn’t simply a question of boy-meets-girl, but a gut wrenching
journey of transformation.
