So, here’s what it comes down to. Given that it’s a romantic suspense, I need something strong and punchy. Something to capture the black market aspects as well as how the hero steals the heroine’s heart–and trust–with the first glance. So here’s what I came up with: (drumroll please . . .)
Seized
Apparently titling experts are big fans of single-word titles, so I’m really pleased with this. When I was reading through Sandi’s suggestions and got to the ones with “seized” in it, it just jumped out at me.
I also had a great time writing said book this weekend, after getting to know my hero a little better. And discovered it’s really cool to sit around the living room with my laptop while my hubby rereads Stray Drop and the kids frolic under the Christmas tree. Felt so cozy! =)
Hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas week!
Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award winning author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.
I looooove the new title. Way to go Sandi!
