Hello lovers. This book is now live. Go get it. It was so good and we are just in love with MWhit and everything she writes. Check out Michelle’s review of COMPROMISING POSITIONS HERE
We weren’t supposed to be friends. We weren’t even supposed to like each other.I’m Michael Grath. I’ll admit I was elected to Congress on my Republican family history. I was out to make a name for myself, until I met Jessie Clark, a spitfire Democrat.
She’d be my nemesis, if I could just stop thinking about her. We’ve got nothing and everything in common, and one big issue that divides us. All of this is going to land us in more than one compromising position.
And like I said, we weren’t supposed to be friends, we weren’t even supposed to like each other, and we certainly weren’t supposed to fall in love.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW
1) This story was a bold choice to write considering some of the subject matter. We’ve read a few of your books and there has always been a political angle but in this book you really dive into some real specifics. What inspired you to write this story?
I’m always drawn to stories where the characters are flawed and the problems aren’t so clear-cut as to who is right and who is wrong. Usually when the issue of abortion arises in a story – and especially in a movie or on TV – the plot is always the same. The woman debates whether or not to do it, and if she does decide to have an abortion, she changes her mind at the clinic. Then she has the baby, and everyone lives happily ever after (because that’s reality, right????). The alternative typical story is that she had an abortion earlier in life and now spends her days riddled with guilt. I wanted to explore a situation where a woman had an abortion and had no regrets.
2) You spent some time working on the Hill in your past life. Were any of these characters based in reality?
I’d say there are many composite characters. The traits of a good staffer, reporter, and politician are there, but the personalities are mine.
3) What are you currently working on?
I’m writing a story about my cockney cad, David, from Beside Your Heart and its sequels. In the new book, David finally meets his match in a woman. The poor bloke doesn’t know what hit him!
4) When you aren’t writing your own stories- what do you like to read?
I’m a romance junkie, but I also read literary fiction. It’s good to read outside your genre because we all get in such ruts with language.
5) Name 3 things you cannot live without!
Well, these are things – not people, or I would be listing my husband and daughters.
1. Coffee
2. Milk for my coffee
3. Wine because I can’t drink coffee too late in the day.
