A Quick Update

Greetings, 

Where do I begin? The past several months have been extremely hectic for me. Moving, work-related traveling...It was easier to put writing on hold for a while. I have not been online much, but I've have updated my Pinterest and Instagram. I have not forgotten about my characters and the need for their stories to be shared. 



I am back to writing now and anticipate sharing new material soon. Maybe a sample or two will be posted soon. 

Until then...

Love and Light, 

L. A.

Feel The Burn/Book Update


I've been working on writing, focusing on two different main characters. Alexandria Hamilton and Nikolaj Balakov. It was fun to write out the lives of these two characters and their friends and family. The character that I enjoyed writing of the most was Isabella Santiago, or better known as Bella. She is outspoken and not afraid of speaking her mind.


She keeps it 100 and doesn't hold back the truth from anybody in need of a proper read. LOL. 




Alexandria is a plus size woman who is a nurse at Miami General who is dedicated to her job and lacks a social life. She doesn't mind, she loves her job and cares about her patients. As long as she has the Syfy channel and her Kindle, she's good. When her health is jeopardized, she makes lifestyle changes and joins a gym, Feel The Burn, a popular gym in Miami that's owned by Nikolaj, aka Nico. Nico is also a personal trainer and through various circumstance, he becomes her trainer.

Things heat up when Nico comes to Alexandria's rescue pretending to be her fiancé when her mother insinuates she'd find a man if she'd just lose weight. Things get interesting when a night of drinking gets out of control and leads to a monster hangover and wild antics. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.


What's worst, Alexandria doesn't remember anything from the wild night. Nico remembers everything and develop feelings for her.


But he's not even in the friend zone. Alexandria wants to keep their relationship as trainer/trainee. But that's not enough for Nico.  Alexandria's ex-boyfriend wants her back and is willing to do anything to get her back. He's willing to make himself look like a fool to get her back. He's not happy that she's moved on with her life and has a new man.



Things get tricky when the fake engagement leads to complications and family drama. Can they keep up the charade with Alexandria's ex attempts at a reconciliation, her mother putting pressure on them to set a wedding date and a friendship that sours from jealousy? Nico wants to make their relationship real and he's determined for Alexandria to see that they are good together.  Will they have a happy ending



or remain friends?
