Introducing Tanay – the irresistible hero of ‘Take One Fake Fiancé’

If the car was any indication, detectives must make a lot of money. Mita couldn’t help but admire the comfortable and tasteful interior, but then Tanay changed a gear, his hand brushing her thigh, and she got distracted by the man – by his sheer physical presence.

He looked quite the demigod – the casual outfit showed off tanned skin, and the tight t-shirt highlighted well-toned muscles.

Tanay Devkumar, who can be seen in all his splendid glory on the cover of Take One Fake Fiance (TOFF), was a difficult man to create. He was to be ruthless and arrogant, suspicious and cynical, but then had to transform into a dream-boat – a sentimental lover craving a happy-ever-after with Mita, the woman he (once-upon-a-time) used to abhor.

An unusual cover reveal – a #CharacterInterview

Adite:
As an author you create characters and give them unique traits — both good and bad — and then throw them into all kinds of situations — including some really tough ones.

But before we get into what emerged from her ‘spying’ activities, here’s a little info about TOFF…along with the first look at the cover!

I really enjoyed reading ‘A Royal Affair’ – let’s talk about it since it is my favorite from you so far.

How did the idea come about, to write an inter-racial romance? Was it a difficult one to write?
