I'm here to talk about romance tropes! These are those favorite hooks that help push our characters together when they normally would not be in the same room together, so that they may fall in love.
Some examples of tropes are:
Secret Identity
Friends to More
Secret Baby
Amnesia
Fake Engagement
Bodyguard
Best Friend's sister/brother
Grumpy/Sunshine
There are many more, but do you see what I mean? These are all ways authors set up their stories to bring their characters together. Do you have a favorite trope? I'd love to hear them.
In all my years of writing (over twenty!) I have used most of these tropes, except for one. Fake Engagement. For whatever reason that one has not worked for most of my suspense stories.
Until now! I have written my first Fake Engagement story! I'm super excited that Zeke will be available tomorrow, October 1st. And Zeke will be in ebook, print and audiobook formats!

From USA Today Bestselling Author Laura Scott
Oath of Honor - To protect and serve...
Protecting his best friend's sister...
Tactical Police Officer Zeke Hawthorn does not hesitate to rush in to protect his best friend's sister. Especially when danger strikes too close to the beautiful single mom and her young daughter. He'll even go a step further when Sienna asks him to pretend to be her fiance'. Anything to keep them safe from harm.
After launching a new career as a Christian musician, Sienna Reynolds knows her abusive ex-husband is doing everything possible to derail her plan. Even going as far as to file for joint custody of their daughter, something she cannot allow to happen. But when the attacks against her turn deadly, Sienna fears the worst. Leaning on God and Zeke, she wrestles with what to do. Disappear forever? Or stay within the shelter of Zeke's arms?
