Cynthia Terelst
is a project officer by day and a writer by night. She is a contemporary
romance writer who likes to share a little bit of history, some Australian
scenery and a whole lotta love. Cynthia does not shy away from difficult
topics, as she feels that they should not be ignored.
She lives in Queensland, Australia, where the sun shines at least 283
days a year.
Let’s learn a little about one of the characters in
her book
Beverley: What’s your name?
Jesse: Jesse Morgan
Beverley: Where did
you grow up?
Jesse: I grew up in California. Even though I’ve lived there all my life I
don’t really feel connected to it. I didn’t have a fun, carefree childhood.
Beverley: During
what time period does your story take place?
Jesse: Current time period.
Beverley: What’s
your story/back story? Why would someone come up with a story about you?
Jesse: Being a billionaire makes me interesting to a lot of people. But it is
often for the wrong reasons. Money is
not always as good as it is made out to be.
Beverley: What’s
your goal in this story?
Jesse: My initial goal was to get away from all the negative in my life, and
to find myself and what makes me happy. When I met Evie, I found someone
unique, strong and kind. My goal changed. I wanted to become hers.
Beverley: What
conflicts are you facing?
Jesse: Evie is my biggest conflict. I don’t mean in a negative way. She is
complicated and guarded. It is a challenge trying to break those walls down.
Beverley: Do you
have a plan for resolving them?
Jesse: Be myself. Go slow. Don’t tell her about my money.
Beverley: Is there
anything else you’d like us to know about you?
Jesse: I’m not going to give up.

for The Cat's Out of the Bag
One van. Two hearts. Thousands of
kilometres.
Jesse’s a self-made billionaire who
yearns to get away from his empty life and the money-hungry parasites who
inhabit it. The plan? Go to Australia, tell no one about his money and find
himself. Instead of finding just himself, he finds Evie, who is everything
anyone should aspire to be. Now, what he aspires to be, is hers. But to be
hers, he needs to tell her everything.
Evie has left her past behind. She has
rebuilt herself, and her life, into one of happiness. After she meets Jesse,
while volunteering at a cat shelter, memories of her past filter back in. She
is stronger now and wants to trust him. But after all she has been through, is
trust even possible?
The quest to find a cat a forever home
leads them to travel across the country together. Can the close quarters drive
them to open up to each other? Or will it drive them apart?
Excerpt
for The Cat's Out of the Bag
Jesse
The wave petered out,
and I paddled back to the line-up. Sitting, watching, waiting. The constant
breeze in my ears and the sound of waves breaking relaxed me. Lulled by the
gentle rise and fall of the swells, I thought about Evie.
She was one of the
most complicated people I’d ever met. Whatever she had been through had made
her strong and independent. But underneath, she was all doubt. I could see her
trying to be brave, but that could change in an instant as her insecurities took
over. I felt like it was a fight between Nick and me, and I didn’t even know
the guy. I didn’t know how to beat a ghost. But I would. I would figure it out,
and I would gain Evie’s trust, bit by bit.
