Suz: Letters to Kelly
is a story I wrote a loooong time ago and
originally sold to Meteor's Kismet line (which folded before LTK was
released). Silhouette Intimate Moments has since snapped it up, and it will
be released in April, 2003. It's a little bit different from my other series
romances -- kind of quirky and odd. (And I mean odd in a good way.)
The hero is T. Jackson Winchester the second, and the heroine is Kelly O'Brien, the significantly younger sister of his former college roommate. Jax and Kelly met when he was a first year student, and she was 12 or 13, and became fast friends despite their age difference.
Jax has been in love with Kelly for years, but their timing has been dismal. When the book starts, she's back in college in Boston after a bad marriage and a divorce, and he's hoping to start something new with her. She's not interested, and his frustration begins to build.
Kelly doesn't know it, but wealthy, pampered Jax has become a hardworking writer. Throughout LTK, he's writing his next book, and his hero, Jared, often misbehaves. (As heroes usually do...)
Letters to Kelly was written almost exactly ten years before it was finally published!
Kelly O'Brien has gone back to college in Boston. I imagined the Boston University buildings along Commonwealth Avenue when I wrote the scenes that took place on campus. (I attended BU from 1978 - 1980!)
