You know, like normal people! So I had to think of ways to move around the "will they/won't they" and it became more of a "is he going to (mess) up this good thing? Is she?" and it became more character-conflict based. I wanted to write a book where the characters actually dated. Most of my books take place over a very short window of time - like a week or so - so there's often a very quick and intense movement toward the happy-ever-after. Care and Feeding started out because I wanted to see if I could write a "date" book. Can I write a decent virgin hero? Can I write a believable virgin heroine? Can I write a revenge story and not want to clobber the characters over the head? Things like that. Every book presents a new sort of goal for me, so I try to give myself small hurdles to jump. Jessica: I like a challenge! A lot of my "Why did you go in this direction?" sorts of answers are because I wanted to challenge myself. What made you take that approach when writing the book? There's very little "will they/won't they" tension. Justine: What's interesting about the book is that Colt and Beth Ann are attracted to each other right from the start of the story.
