Today
we sit down with Francesca “Frankie”
O’Connell from author Elizabeth Spaur’s
Gridiron
Knights series.
What was your life like
before your author started pulling your strings?
I was barely keeping my head above water. Between
caring for my father, who’s recovering from a stroke, playing in my football
league and trying to find a coaching job, I didn’t have a moment to breath.
What’s the
one trait you like most about yourself?
I never give up. I’ve spent most of my live pursuing
dreams in worlds dominated by men.
What do you
like least about yourself?
I have a hard time trusting people.
What is the
strangest thing your author has had you do or had happen to you?
I have to admit, I never pictured myself dancing in a
ballroom dance competition, even doing one exhibition dance.
Do you
argue with your author? If so, what do you argue about?
I have to admit I argued with her a lot. I was so
sure I’d put my week with Rush in the past; I wasn’t sure why she had to bring
it into my present.
What is your
greatest fear?
That I’ll be left alone.
What makes you happy?
I’ve always loved football. My
dad was one of the greatest college coaches there ever was and he taught me
everything I know about the sport.
If you
could rewrite a part of your story, what would it be? Why?
If I was going to rewrite any of my story, I would
change the past, and I would have trusted Rush six years ago instead of walking
away from him.
Of the other characters in
your book, which one bugs you the most? Why? Camilla
Houghton. She’s Rush’s ex and she keeps showing up everywhere in town and
trying to worm her way back into his life.
Of the other characters in
your book, which one would you love to trade places with? Why?
I think I would trade places with Delilah
Derringer. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and she’s ride or die for her
friends.
Tell us a little something
about your author. Where can readers find her website/blog?
Elizabeth Spaur writes romance because she loves
writing about love. Her writing is
all about big families and big friend groups because she can only write series
set in worlds that continue to grow with every story. She can be found at
elizabethspaur.com
What's next for you?
There’s a lot in store for us in King’s Folly. I’m going to relax with Rush and watch
the next couple up on the block. I hear Delilah’s getting her happy ending next.
Things are heating up, and we’re going to have to work with our rival
universities to unravel some mysteries.
One week,
six years ago was all they had before secrets and lies tore them apart. After
hurling words like daggers before they’d parted, they never dreamed they would
see each other again. If they can open their hearts, they might be able to let
go of the past and build a future.
Francesca
“Frankie” O’Connell was a woman in a man’s world. A former Marine and star wide
receiver in a women’s football league, she was used to always following the
play. When an old friend offers her a chance at her dream job it also comes
with a place that might be the secret to her father’s recovery from a stroke.
Working with the man who broke her heart wasn’t something she prepared for.
Will the one who got away throw a wrench in all her new plans, or will he help
her succeed beyond her wildest dreams?
Rushford
Avery hadn’t planned on settling in King’s Folly permanently. Accepting a job
at Cormac University was supposed to be temporary until he got his grandmother
settled in her childhood hometown. Then it was back to England and his plans
for his future. Instead, every day he planted deeper roots and became more
involved in the lives of people in the community. He hardly ever thought about
the woman who’d destroyed him six years ago with a few well-chosen words. Will
her reappearance in his life help him strengthen his place in the community, or
tear it out at the roots?
Rush and
Frankie still have chemistry for days. The problem is their vivid memories of
the circumstances that tore them apart are just as powerful. Their jobs, an
unexpected dance competition and the reappearance of an ex push them together
and force them to confront the lies and secrets that have haunted them both for
six years.
Will love
help them look past their mistakes and find their destiny together?
