Escaping her father’s prearranged marital scheme is paramount, yet she spends all her time making out the gentleman whose likeness seized her imagination from the start—the one man whom she supposes will never advance her cause.
His better judgment aside, Mr. Darcy is drawn to his sister’s pretty friend who frequents his society.
When curiosity and suspicion encounter pride and prejudice, can these reluctant lovers find their way to each other?

Long before he and she meet, Miss Elizabeth Bennet entertains notions of Mr. Darcy as being good-natured, compassionate, and exceedingly handsome. Indeed, everything a gentleman ought to be.
In light of the ardent disdain that he incites in her family and friends at the Meryton assembly, reconciling her favorable impression of him proves deeply unsettling. Hence she goes about making out his true nature.
Boasting to the gentleman of an acquaintance with his worst enemy hardly recommends her to him.
Tempestuous sparks soon burst into passionate flames as Darcy and Elizabeth endeavor to sketch each other’s character.

Only a Heartbeat Away: Pride & Prejudice Novella is a story of duty, of honor, and love of family. A fast-paced, wonderfully diverting Regency romance, it is P. O. Dixon’s ninth adaptation of Jane Austen’s timeless classic.

Interview: Viking Fire by Andrea Cooper


I have the great pleasure of having author Andrea Cooper with me on the blog. Viking Fire sounds like such an interesting story that I just had to pick Andrea's brain about it. Enjoy the interview, and stick around for the giveaway! 

Where did you get the idea for Viking raiders? The premise sounds quite intriguing.

I love history. Just reading through events can spark an idea for me. The Vikings weren’t just raiders, they were also traders and explorers. They traveled as far as Egypt, Greenland, Iceland, and Asia. We even have who discovered America wrong, it was the Vikings

Did you already know quite a bit about Vikings, or did you have to conduct much research?

I do know a lot about the Vikings, but I still did research to check a few things. I love research, when it’s a favorite subject, so I have piles of notes and books.

While conducting your research what was one unique, intriguing, or mystifying fact you have come across?

Actually it was the start of the idea for this book. I read that my great-grandfather’s name McLaughlin or Laughlin was thought to be derived from Lochlann which is the Gaelic word for Viking. Some historians believe a Viking could have married an Irish princess and their son would have been called McLochlann (meaning son of Lochlann).

Vikings married other nationalities to gain land, money, etc. On the wife’s side, her family gained protection against raiders and a Viking to help fight against other clansmen.

All of this information made me think about this arrangement, and what if the heroine hated Vikings, and refused to succumb to her families’ agreement of the marriage?

What was your favorite part in writing Viking Fire?

The dialogue between Kaireen and Bram. He banters with her while she won’t let go of her stubbornness. Also Elva snuck up on me. She starts off in the book as Kaireen’s handmaid, but she has secrets of her own. Even I didn’t know her secrets until writing the story when she revealed them to me and Kaireen.

What can readers look forward to from Kaireen and Bram in Viking Fire?

A sweet love story between a feisty Irish lass and a charming Viking. I loved writing the maturation of Kaireen into a woman who accepts love no matter preconceived notions, and Bram’s persuasion.
