Interview:
Hotheaded Heart by Anna Alkire
- Tell me how easy it is to embrace love between the local police officer with the woman who lives with him.
It was a heartwarming and fun love story to write — two people that truly need each other to be complete and happy.
- How easy is it to balance between the time it takes to develop a loving relationship and being on the job being a police officer.
During my research, I read a lot about the challenges of being a police officer. Because of the work hours and demands of the job, some officers can find maintaining a romantic relationship challenging.
- Tell me how easy it is for the mate being in relation with a police officer whose integrity is with the community civil service.
For a person like my character Raven, who is a business woman involved in her community, she takes pride in being with a person dedicated to community service—and also worries about his safety. When he’s injured in the story, it leads her to understand her feelings more clearly.
- You can elaborate on any other details with the fine characters in “Hotheaded Heart”
I enjoyed writing about a variety of professions in my series, from police and firefighters to lawyers, teachers and real estate agents. There is a bachelor auction in Hotheaded Heart where you see many of the characters in the coming books—Book 2 will be available soon!
Synopsis:

A fun sexy story, with a dash of suspense, about not hiding from yourself and letting love in. This steamy, laugh-out-loud, enemies to lovers romance pits an annoying prankster, turned small town cop, against the woman forced to live with him.
I’m finally back in Waterfall Canyon, after leaving for a decade, when one-night changes everything. I sort of snapped and beat up my stalker with yard debris. That creep didn’t know who he was messing with. Except, I was the one put in the patrol car.
Sometimes the worst mistake of your life calls for desperate measures—like accepting help from one of the cops that arrested you.
Beau Martin is a police officer, a slob, and also a man that’s promised to never settle down. He’s my best friend’s older brother. We had a history—of him tormenting me ten years ago. Now he leaves me flirty notes, wants me to believe he’s always liked me, and thinks we should blow off some steam.
Torn between Beau and an unrequited work crush, pursued by my increasingly creepy stalker, and fighting to save my career from the fallout of my mistake, I stumble into organizing a bachelor auction for charity. Everything depends on the support of our small town—and how much I can sacrifice for my own heart.
From award winning author Anna Alkire, comes an unforgettable new series that mixes the spice of Meghan Quinn’s A Not So Meet Cute, and the unexpected fun of Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over. Anyone looking for banter, cuteness, and a bit of suspense will find it in this steamy contemporary romance with a romantic comedy spin. Grab your copy of Hotheaded Heart today!
