Cheris Hodges is back with another addition to her popular Richardson Sisters series. I recently spoke with her about Won’t Go Home Without You.
Tell me about your latest book.
Won’t Go Home Without You is the second book in the Richardson Sisters series and I’m so excited about this book.
One night only—that’s all Robin Richardson-Baptiste will give the husband she once adored. She thought nothing could shatter their storybook marriage—not illness or a life-saving operation that left her unable to have children. For her husband, Dr. Logan Baptiste, told her in a thousand unspoken ways their love was all he needed. But now, in the face of overwhelming evidence, his co-worker, Kamrie, claims Logan fathered her son.
Logan can’t recall what happened with Kamrie—and DNA never lies. He does know he’s never stopped loving his gentle, courageous wife. But doing whatever it takes to uncover the truth, and save his marriage, not to mention his career, will challenge them like never before. And one night of undivided attention and desire may be the only thing to heal their hearts, reveal all—or shatter things beyond repair . . .
What inspired you to write it?
I haven’t written about a married couple before. And it’s hard to keep the HEA going. I wanted to tell the story of what happens after a ring is put on it and follow up on the forever part.
When did you fall in love with the written word?
I think I fell in love with the written word when I read the Boxcar Children and I realized that when you write something down, your mama doesn’t call it a lie. (LOL)
What’s the best part of being an author?’
Creating worlds, telling stories and getting lost in a story and typing THE END.
What’s the hardest part of being an author?
Dealing with all of the business side of writing. But as my grandma always said, you don’t do what’s easy, you do what you love.
What books have you read lately and loved?
Farrah Rochon’s The Boyfriend Project, Sharina Harris’s Judge’s Girls, Hunted by Sharon C. Cooper
What book(s) are you most excited to read next?
Waking Up Married by Reese Ryan, Stalked by Secrets by Deborah Fletcher Mello, Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins and Island Queen by Vanessa Riley, just to name a few the list goes on.
What’s next for you?
In July the 27th, the third Richardson Sisters novel will be released. It’s Yolanda Richardson’s story, Open Your Heart.
For fashion boutique owner Yolanda Richardson, coming home is a matter of life and death. Witness to a brutal crime, she’s terrified to put her family’s B&B in the crosshairs after she starts receiving death threats. Her only refuge is the protection of her reserved hired bodyguard, Charles Morris. But Charles is anything but safe. His icy cool-under-fire—and hidden intensity—is too explosive for Yolanda to resist . . .
Love always equals loss—Charles knows that hard equation all too well. Controlling his emotions keeps his clients from harm—and his heart safe. Yolanda’s beauty and headstrong spirit have him wanting her in all kinds of ways. But for her own protection, he has to do his best to keep her at arm’s length. Until unexpected danger and lethal misunderstandings put their survival—and any chance at a future together—on the knife-edge . . .
