Finding a Keeper
Brenna Palmer has everything she wants in life: a dream job as a PA for the CEO at Thornsten Industries, and amazing friends. The only thing still missing is Mr. Right.Then she stares into the mesmerizing hazel eyes of delicious Gabriel Burke, and she is hopelessly ensnared by his cocky charm. Gabe is a sexual master who knows exactly how to entice her surrender. He’s also a millionaire, a ladies’ man, and a dedicated bachelor.
Brenna resists him—there’s no way she’ll live up to the high-caliber women he pursues and she simply doesn’t have the time to reform him. But Gabe won’t give up so easily. He offers her a compromise: she can continue searching for Mr. Right, but as long as her heart remains unclaimed, she’s his to ravish.
It’s a perfect arrangement, until Mr. Right finally does come along. And when he does, Brenna finds herself in a worse predicament, since Gabe has a hold on her that she just can’t let go of.
There is no moral dilemma. She knows what the right thing is to do. It’s just … why the hell does it feel so very wrong?

Interview With Michelle Geel:
- Can you tell us a little about your book?
Brenna
Palmer almost has everything she’s ever wanted - a dream job and
amazing friends. All that's still missing is Mr. Right, who she’s
actively on the lookout for. So much so that her friends have deemed her
to become boring and they playfully threaten her with an escort so she
can let loose. Dare to break free, her bestie, Beth, challenges.
On her birthday, she mistakes gorgeous Gabriel Burke, thinking him the
arranged escort her crazy friends had followed through with. Lost in his
mesmerizing hazel eyes and not about to prove her friends right – that
she’s no fun -, she gives in. It’s just going to be one night of wild
abandon, right?
When
the mistaken identity comes to light the next day, she finds that he’s
actually a millionaire, a ladies’ man, and worst of all - a determinedly
dedicated bachelor. Despite the sexual magnetism they share, Brenna has
no intention of wasting her time in trying to have him change his ways
and does her utmost to resist his relentless advances. Until Gabe makes a
proposal: She continues searching for Mr. Right, but as long as her
heart remains unclaimed, she’s his to ravish. It’s an offer she simply
can’t refuse.
It’s
a seemingly perfect arrangement, until Mr. Right does come along – much
sooner than either of them anticipated. There is no moral dilemma. She knows what the right thing is to do. It’s just … why does it feel so very wrong?
When
all is said and done, Brenna will be sure of one thing: When you make a
deal with the devil, always know that the price is much more than just
your soul. After all, she dearly pays when she’s dragged through hell
and back… more than once.
- When did you know you wanted to write a book?
Writing
has always been in my blood, although I only seriously started with
novels about 4 years ago. With having a full-time position and often
finding myself in various stages of studies, I did not want to attempt
writing a full novel while I still felt that I did not have adequate
time to do it justice by giving it my absolute best. Finding a keeper is
my first published novel, but it is by no means my first book. I’ve
carried Brenna and Gabe’s story with me for over 20 years, and I’m
elated to finally have it completed and available for others’ enjoyment.
- How did you choose the genre you write in?
To
be quite honest, it completely depends on my characters. Although I’m
still new to the writing world, I don’t intend to box myself into only
one genre. Besides the erotic romance, I’ve also written a women’s
fiction romance which I’ll publish once I’m satisfied with the editing. I
also have two YA/NA storylines I’d like to explore, but I have as yet
not started writing on either.
- Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?
I’m
probably like any other author. I’ll write anywhere and any time, and I
always have a pen and notebook near when I don’t have my laptop with
me. After I get home from work at around 6pm or so, it’s family time.
I’m immensely blessed to have a hubby who helps out a lot, especially
with supper-time (he’s an amazing cook!). I’m usually free to start
doing book-related things (advertising, editing, answering emails)
anytime from about 8pm and then I move over to writing and I’ll keep at
it until around 3am or so before I drag myself to bed. Then it’s up at
6:30 again to start a new day. (Yes, I sometimes do take 15-min
powernaps at work in lieu of taking a coffee break. lol)
- Do you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when writing?
I
usually have a glass of soda on standby (Pepsi Max or Mountain Dew are
my faves) and sometimes my hubby or son will surprise me with a
Cappucino. I adore crisps, but try not to have them while working as it
impacts my writing time (I don’t want an oily keyboard and I have to
keep wiping my hands when I indulge).
- Do you have a favorite spot to write?
I have a few spots around the house and I rotate, always migrating to the less noisy one.
- If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
Gosh, this one is tough, but I’d go with Psychic powers. I’d like to be able to read people’s minds and enjoy Telekinesis.
- What are writing projects are you currently working on?
I’m
rotating between about 4 or so manuscripts, writing on whichever as the
urge strikes me. I’m very in tune with my emotions and so I use every
opportunity to tap into that to bring authenticity to my writing. My
WIP’s are: one Arch Enemies to Lovers, one Best Friends to Lovers and
two Second Chance love stories – all erotic romance.
