Twenty-one-year-old Neka is a bit of an introvert, she also happens to be stunningly beautiful.

When she discovers her friend James is about to be dumped, she sees the perfect opportunity to escape from her quiet life. Can she summon the courage to leave it all behind?

James Copley comes from a ruthless family. It’s rubbed off. Years ago, he disengaged from his brother’s smear campaign, but now his father has offered him an ultimatum, “Get married or lose your seat at the table.” Plotting to stamp his design on the family business, he proposes to a woman, even though he doesn’t love her. But his carefully laid plans start to unravel when she leaves him on the day she’s due to meet his family. Could years of planning his comeback vanish with her departure?

A possible solution comes in an unexpected form: Neka. She’s not only a friend, but the daughter of his benefactor. And she’s right there, offering to support him. But will her support stretch to marriage? He attempts to win her over to his plan but collides with her powerful father who wants to leverage the situation for his own gain.

In their fight for survival and love, they are forced to face some uncomfortable truths.

Can they overcome thwarted dreams and missed chances to find true love, or does forcing destiny’s hand only lead to misery?

Book Tour: Death Unscripted by MK Graff

Trudy Genova has the best nursing job, working as an onset and script medical consultant for a Manhattan movie studio. No more uniforms, night shifts, or real emergencies. That is, until a soap opera actor Trudy has a tense relationship with dies suddenly while taping a hospital scene—but not before pointing his finger accusingly at Trudy.

Detectives Ned O’Malley and Tony Borelli view Trudy as a suspect, and in an effort to prove them wrong, Trudy interferes with their investigation. Then a second actor dies, and Trudy realizes she’s put herself right into the path of a killer.

Character Casting

Author Marni Graff thinks that it would be fun to let you choose who you would cast if given the chance! So read the descriptions and let your imagination run!

Trudy Genova, RN: petite, curvy 26 yr-old nurse who works as med consultant for a movie studio. Dirty blonde hair, feisty; from upstate NY.

My pick: Isla Fisher!!! She may be more of a red-head, but she is as feisty as they come!

Meg Pitman, her friend; Production Assistant at studio; slender blonde, brown doe’s eyes; sweet girl.

My pick: I can't for the life of me remember what this actress's name is, but I know she would be pretty good at this part!

Detective Ned O'Malley: Lead on murder case; tall, well-dressed, gray eyes, privileged NY society family but good cop and nice guy.

My Pick: Anthony Quinn, because well, DUH! He is like the nicest cop-ish looking guy I know of!

Detective Tony Borelli: shorter, stockier cop on first detective job; dark hair, olive eyes, large Italian family. Attracted to Meg.

My pick: Edmund Cahill, YUM!!!

Great. Dueling egos today and on top of that, I had to work with Griff Kennedy, my least favorite actor. He’d come on to me a few times too many. The ladies man seemed to think any female should be happy to be groped by him. Several weeks ago I’d found myself alone in the rehearsal room with him after turning down yet another invitation for a drink after work. He’d had the temerity to fondle my breast as he tried to change my mind.

I’d shouted loud enough for the U-5’s outside the door to hear: “Hands off, slimeball!” That line, plus a knee in the right place, had stopped him in his tracks and he’d left the rehearsal room to a series of titters from those lounging outside.
