Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Stuck With The Off Limits Protector?

Tiffany is your typical millennial. She’s career-driven, strategic, independent, sassy but funny, gorgeous and unapologetically her. Family is important to Tiffany being that she lost her father at a young age. And although successful, she understands clearly how to make due with whatever life throws at her. In fact, she has had her ups and downs over the years, especially with love, so she’s trying to turn inward for healing and personal development. Accountability is one of her best attributes.

Now, Kyle isn’t the type of guy to be judged by his cover (pun intended). While he’s a former jock and ex-military, Kyle is methodical, determined, smart, intuitive, strong, protective, and ultimately a hopeless romantic. Even though he actually had a decent upbringing growing up, his relationship with his father wasn’t the best, which led to bad decision-making and trauma amongst other things. What makes him great is his self-awareness and ability to be in tune with and articulate his feelings.

Between the two, Kyle and Tiffani are both relatable characters who’ve been through the emotional ringer and aren’t necessarily looking for love, rather just waiting on the ‘right one’. The interesting thing is – they don’t realize it until they cross paths with each other.

Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?

Most characters are straight from the imagination and develop with the story itself. I don’t start with a particular person in mind, rather real qualities that would make characters relatable.

Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?

Main characters ‘come’ as I build the foundation of the story considering how one would interact with the other. Secondary characters usually develop within the story.

Do you prefer to write in silence or with noise? Why?

Silence definitely. It’s not always guaranteed since I don’t live alone, but I need to be able to focus and hear the characters ‘talk’ as the words fill the page. Because of this, I find my most productive hours burning the midnight oil or in the wee-hours of the morning. 

Describe your writing style.

Realistic, Romantic and just a bit Raunchy 🙂

About the Book

Stuck With the Off Limits Protector by Maia Ambrose

Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance

I was sworn off men until this hot alpha hero fought his way into my life. 

Turns out he’s ex-military and works for my new boss.

Just my luck, he’s the one man I’m not allowed to have.

But constant road trips cause our worlds to explode like fireworks. 

His skills give secret service duty a whole new meaning.

And we’re playing a dangerous game as lovers and friends.

We can’t stop despite our jobs and lives are on the line.

Ironically, our pasts are already intertwined.

Yet, saving me won’t right the wrongs done. 

Now that I know what he’s been hiding, he must think I’m a fool to let it fly.

While my heart feels he’s the one, everything else is telling me to say goodbye.
