Missy & Ashley on Breaking Noah

Well, I guess you’re all wondering, how does a girl from the United States get together to write a book with a woman from Australia. I’ll tell you … we’re kind of amazing. Okay, we might be pretty awesome, but it was a lot of work. See, Missy is a good 14 hours ahead of Ashley, so Ashley quit sleeping and Missy started waking up really early. And writing Breaking Noah was so exciting for each of them.

They started toying around with an idea about a woman who used a dating site for find a man, and somehow, out of the blue, Missy was like “Hey, wanna write about a student teacher but darker than the usual” and Ashley, hearing the word dark, was all over it. They jotted down a few notes and went to work. Writing each and every day, it only took a few weeks to have a completed manuscript. Finally, after lots of conference calls with our editor from Random House, negotiations with agents, we were delivered contracts and couldn’t wait to put the pen to paper and sign our names. It was the single greatest moment of 2014 for each of us.

Here’s the hard part. For anyone that knows Missy and Ashley, patience is not their strong suit. So, imagine being the most impatient people in the world and they’ve been sitting on a completed manuscript since NOVEMBER 1^ST 2014 … How the hell did we do it? Because we obviously are gluttons for punishment. But, it was well worth it. We both got to work with the most amazing team of editors, cover designers and marketers known to man. We’re beyond blessed.

We’re currently writing another novel for Random House called Devils’ Pride—an MC romance we’ve also signed to Random House. There will be three books, each a stand alone and can be read separately. We’re really excited and nervous for you to meet Ace, Cruz, Marx and the rest of the Devils’ MC. We’re confident that you’re going to feel some kind of way about it 😉

Our favorite blog is the same … Totally Booked! We both are gluttons for ugly cry books. We share an obsession for Sons of Anarchy. Ashley’s read all of Missy’s books and vice versa and were very excited at the possibility of working together. We played around with the idea of writing under a pen name together, but decided we had such great readers on our own, it would be silly to do such a thing, hence why we write under our own pen names. Yes, they are pen names!!! No, we won’t tell you our legal names, either.

One fun fact about Missy … she’s pregnant and due in July!!! Ashley is super excited to be an Aunt from half way across the world and can’t wait to buy baby Alice a baby present!!

Fun fact about Ashley … she has a really strange sense of humor. She’s constantly sarcastic and is extremely inappropriate in social situations. She didn’t use to be, but something about writing all day, stuck in the house alone, she’s become somewhat of a social weirdo. And she’s okay with it.

Synopsis

What happens when you start falling for your worst enemy? Fans of Abbi Glines and Monica Murphy will relish this addictive novel of smoking-hot seduction—and revenge gone so wrong, it’s right.

I wasn’t always this jaded. I had a clear head, things I wanted out of life, and a concise plan on how to get there. For being only twenty-one, I pretty much had it all figured out.
Until the day my cousin died.

I spent months going over all the details surrounding her death, trying to figure out how I missed the signs, and the only thing I could come up with was she would still be alive if it wasn’t for one person: her professor. So I transferred to his college, enrolled in his class, and set my new plan in motion.

First I’ll seduce him. Then I’ll ruin him. I’ve just got to stay strong and not let his charm and my emotions get the best of me. Because someone has to pay for her death. If it’s the last thing I do, I’m going to break Noah.
