Hi Nas! Thank you so much for inviting me to discuss my new release, LovingYou Is Easy! Don’t you just love the cover?

For those of you who don’t know me, I started out writing medical romance for Harlequin Mills and Boon, which is how I met Nas. While I still write for Harlequin, under their Cosmopolitan Red Hot Reads line (check out The V-Spot HERE),  I’m thrilled to also be writing for Random House’s Loveswept line. Loving You Is Easy is my first book with them.

And now for Nas’s questions:

Who is Wendy S. Marcus?

I am a mother of three, married for twenty-six years this past October. I’m also a registered nurse, although I’m not currently practicing. I am a huge procrastinator. (Everything gets done eventually!) I love social media. (And spend WAY too much of my time on Facebook and Twitter.) I have a Bichon Frise named Buddy. (My children insist he’s spoiled – and he is!)

Who is your favorite author?

This is such a difficult question because I am such a voracious reader and have so many authors whose books I enjoy. But my number one instant buy is Jill Shalvis. I absolutely love her books!

Do you listen to music while you write?

I do not listen to music while I write, but I do find inspiration from songs. One of my favorites is Heartbreak by Hunter Hayes (which is now playing while I type!) Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BYu7gugd2Y 

What do you do to relax?

I’m not a big TV watcher but I do enjoy NCIS along with some reality shows like Survivor, The Little Couple, Hell’s Kitchen. I also enjoy reading, playing spider solitaire on my computer or doing Sudoku puzzles, usually with a nice glass of cabernet!

Tell us about your book.

Brooke is a 24-year-old junior high school math teacher from a wealthy, upper class family. Shane is a 25-year-old blue collar bad boy turned soldier in the U.S. army, serving his fourth tour of active combat duty in Afghanistan. The two met as part of a “Support Our Troops” initiative that matched U.S. soldiers serving overseas with pen pals from back home. 

Now you’ll have to read Loving You Is Easy to find out what happens after Shane returns home wounded (without telling Brooke) and after one of the sexy pictures she gave to him winds up on Facebook where her students and their parents and her principal see it.

Here’s the book blurb:

She's a survivor of the front lines of politics. He's a wounded soldier returning home from the battlefield. Can they place their trust in the power of love?
 
Nobody plays the role of perfect politician's daughter better than quiet, respectable math teacher Brooke Ellstein. But she won't be caught swimming with the sharks again, not after the son of a wealthy donor sinks his teeth into her and gets away with it. Still, political connections have their perks, such as heading up the governor's "Support Our Troops" pen-pal initiative--and getting first dibs on the smoking-hot sergeant whose picture shakes her right down to her goody-two-shoes.
 
When corresponding with sweet, classy Brooke, Shane Develen instinctively hides his commando tattoos and blue-collar roots--and he can tell that she's hiding something, too. But Shane knows he's gained her trust when Brooke gives him a blisteringly sexy photo. Then he's injured in an ambush and a fellow soldier posts the snapshot online. Overnight, Brooke's reputation turns to ashes. Even though he's totally wrong for her, Shane shows up on Brooke's doorstep, determined to set things right--and discovers that right or wrong has nothing on the chemistry they share.
