How the book came about:
Over the past year, I've wanted to do a charity book - my way of
giving back. I've participated in a number of charity bundles and collections,
but I've never released one solely on my own. So the question came to me; which
charity and which book?
The answer came to me when my mother passed away, on Oct 14th, 2012,
after a year and a half long battle with lung cancer. So I chose the Canadian
Cancer Society. What they do for people, not only in terms of research, but also
through patient support - financially and otherwise - is a blessing to
thousands of cancer patients each and every day.
So, I had ideas spinning in my mind for a breeding erotica book that
involved a billionaire. It was meant to be short and taboo. However, my
mother's death made it perfectly clear where the billionaire story should go.
As I started plotting it, the short erotic taboo story that it was originally
meant to be evolved into a novel length medical erotic romance. It became so
much more!
This was one of those books that I didn't have to think about, the
ideas and the words seemed to write themselves as the pages flew by. I'd gotten
over halfway through the novel and **gasp** there was still no sex! Crazy
right? I think most people who read my work read it partly because of the sex
scenes, so it seemed insane to me that I was writing a story without the nasty
goodness that people expect from me. Since it couldn't be a Terry Towers book
without some good old steamy "action" I made up for the lack of
"action" in the final half of the book. I joke that my early stuff
could be considered "romantic porn;" so needless to say this book
brought me way out of my comfort zone.
An Heir For The Billionaire was released on June 29th and is on track to exceed my thousand
dollar goal for the end of August. I've been pleased with the sales and amazed
at the positive reviews and emails from readers, many feeling that this book is
the best to come from me to date. Needless to say, I'm already hyped for my
next charity novel. What it'll be and what charity... that remains to be seen,
but there will be another coming this fall. No doubt about it.
As For The Story:
An Heir For The Billionaire was originally meant to be a breeding erotica story, but morphed
into something so much more. Instead, I would like to think this is an
inspirational love story about hope, forgiveness and rediscovering what is most
important in life.
The heroine of the story, Katrina Alexander is a woman stuck in a
rut. She's working as a server for a hotel and embarrassed that at twenty-eight
years old she hasn't accomplished much with her life. When her high school
reunion comes around she considers not even going because she doesn't want
people to see that she hasn't succeeded. With some prompting from her best
friend, Farrah Glover, she decides to go, a part of her longing to see her
former high school love, Damon Garratt.
The hero is Damon Garratt. He's a man that has it all. Money, power
and it would appear the world in the palm of his hand. But that's hardly the
case. His world is rocked to its core when he discovers he has lung cancer and
may only have a year to live. He begins to evaluate his life thus far and
realizes that despite the empire he's built around him, his world is empty of what
is most important in life. An invitation to his ten year high school reunion
makes him realize that he had the most important thing in life already and was
foolish enough to let it go, so he travels back to his hometown of Bangor,
Maine, in search of redemption.
