What inspired you to write Sinful Wallflowers?
I was chatting with my sister and trying to convince her to read a book about a wallflower, but she refused, saying wallflowers are boring and tend to have too many self-esteem issues. I found myself thinking about that statement for days and how to show that ladies the ton overlook as inferior/wallflowers are really clever, witty, romantic at heart, and very adventurous. I spent a few more weeks mulling over it until the idea would not let me go, so I sat and created six friends and the journey they would go on to find happy ever after.
Three words that best describes your writing style.
Romantic, angsty, and sensual.
About Stacy Reid
Stacy Reid writes sensual Historical and Paranormal Romances and is the published author of over sixteen books. Her debut novella The Duke’s Shotgun Wedding was a 2015 HOLT Award of Merit recipient in the Romance Novella category, and her bestselling Wedded by Scandal series is recommended as Top picks at Night Owl Reviews, Fresh Fiction Reviews, and The Romance Reviews.
Stacy lives a lot in the worlds she creates and actively speaks to her characters (aloud). She has a warrior way “Never give up on dreams!” When she’s not writing, Stacy spends a copious amount of time binge-watching series like The Walking Dead, Homeland, Altered Carbon, watching Japanese Anime and playing video games with her love. She also has a weakness for ice cream and will have it as her main course.
Miss Maryann FitzWilliam is too witty and bookish for her own good. No gentleman of the ton will marry her, so her parents arrange for her to wed a man old enough to be her father. But Maryann is ready to use those wits to turn herself into a sinful wallflower.
When the scandal sheet reports a sighting of Nicolas Ives climbing out the chamber windows of a house party, Maryann does the unthinkable. She anonymously claims that the bedchamber belonged to none other than Miss FitzWilliam, tarnishing her own reputation—and chances of the dastardly union her family secured for her. Now she just needs to convince the marquess to keep his silence.
Nicholas Ives, Marquess of Rothbury has purposefully cultivated a reputation as the most ruthless, unprincipled libertine, all so he can slip beneath the guards of those whose vile actions caused him to lose the only girl he's ever loved. Despite his intrigue, Nicolas is determined to ignore the deceitful and enticing Miss FitzWilliam. However, his enemies are drawing close, and he soon discovers he must keep her closer to protect her. Nonetheless, she rouses a soul-burning passion within him, causing him to question who will protect her from his devilish wiles.

Excerpt of HER WICKED MARQUESS
She stared at him in stupefied amazement. Before she could react, he dropped onto his knees and his hands found her throat in a clasp that was tender yet provocatively intimidating. His eyes were dark and heavy-lidded, his jawline flushed red. This close, she could see the different striations of gold in his eyes, the rain on his brow and the bridge of his nose… The hunger in his eyes. Maryann felt beguiled by the unknown expression tightening across his sharply slanted cheekbones. It struck her then with the force of lightning. He wanted her. This was not a game or mild flirtation.
She felt flushed, shivering, light-headed. Silly and empowered in the same breath. A gentleman had never wanted her before. No one had ever shown her that she could even be seen as desirable, and here was a proclaimed rakehell, a reputed connoisseur of beautiful women who indulged in all manner of wantonness, staring at her as if he felt compelled.
As if she were beautiful. Was it that she presented as a novelty?
“I…I…Nicolas,” she stuttered. “I…I need to think…”
“You are making me lose control,” he hissed. “I must not be here, with you.”
“Do not blame me for your lack of self-restraint,” she gasped. “Just admit it…that you feel the same way I do.”
The boldness of her vague confession left her breathless.
He leaned in unexpectedly, took her lower lip between his teeth, and bit down sharply. As if to punish her for making him lose control. She sucked in a harsh breath at the arrow of need that shot through her, striking deep in her belly, and ending in an aching pulse between her legs. “Why did you bite me?”
“Rakes do that,” he said dangerously.
Oh!
He pressed his lips to the corner of her mouth, and asked against her flesh, “Are you frightened?”
Yes. “No.”
“You hold my stare so fiercely, an undeniable fire in your gaze.” His thumb moved in a firm caress across her cheek. “I want to touch that fire, and I can only do that by possessing you.”

Hi I’ve never read any of your books but they sound amazing and I’m putting some on my to read list. I love that you have saved the first love letter from your husband. I have the vows that my husband and I wrote over 10 years ago to each other. I love going back and reading them. My husband got me on to anime when we first started dating in 04′ our favorite it Inuyasha it was my first one I watched they are very stress relieving to watch to us.
I have read The Irresistible Miss Peppiwell and would love to read more. What’s your favorite meal/dish to cook?
Hey Christine! Hope you enjoyed Phillipa and Anthony! Oh wow, I am a huge foodie. My favorite food is ackee and saltfish, the national dish of my home country. I love cooking and eating it of course. LOL. I also love curried Goat!
Do any of your characters ever surprise you?
Oh! That’s a great question!
Hey Mary!
I feel like all of them do. Maryann surprised me a lot with her spunk. She took over from me and deviated a lot from how I initially intended to paint her.
Thanks for the chance
You are welcome, Jayme!
