Resisting her brother’s best friend is futile…

Faith Fitzpatrick isn’t looking for a hero. Burned one too many times in the past, she’s now sworn them off completely. And when her brother’s best friend, Connor, convinces him to join the dangerous SWAT team, Faith has never been more anti-hero. What’s wrong with having a safe job? There’s nothing safe about Connor. Confident, sexy, and sporting a six-pack that should be illegal, he’s everything she doesn’t want. 

When his best friend’s sister moves to town, local cop Connor Maguire knows he’s in trouble. Faith is feisty, funny, and talks trash like nobody’s business. She’s also his partner’s sister—and so totally off limits. Working on the Fall Festival together, they agree to a truce and become friends. But the more time Connor spends with Faith, the more he’s willing to risk the wrath of her brother. If he could only convince her to take a risk on him, too. 

Author's Playlist:

When it comes to most anything, I need music. I can’t clean without it, and I definitely can’t write without it. Before every book I make a play list, and then as I write and different scenes or themes come in, I add to it. Thought I’d share my playlist for Resisting the Hero and highlight some of the songs and why I chose them. 

You can find the full playlist to this, and all my books, here:

Classy Girls by the Lumineers. Connor and Faith’s first meeting is a little rough. She’s mad at her brother when she charges into the Rusty Anchor to try to find him, and Connor hits on her. The line “classy girls don’t kiss in bars, you fool” totally fits their first interaction & makes me laugh. Of course once Faith finds out Connor is one of the reasons her brother joined the SWAT team, things go from bad to worse. 

Lucky Strike by Maroon 5. (First of all, who doesn’t swoon over Adam Levine’s voice? Gah!) With lyrics like: 

Got me so high, and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
One in a million, My lucky strike

And basically just the whole song fits, plus it makes me wanna dance.

Then there are songs like Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth & Emeli Sande, Say it Again by Mariah McMannus (So it seems, I'm fighting harder for you than I ever did for anything), Distance by Christina Perri, Look After You by the Fray (this song is one of my favorite love songs ever!), and a remix of Wherever You Will Go by Charlene Soraia. 

Basically it’s a mix of kind of feisty songs mixed with romance, since that’s what the book is too. So there’s a bit of an insight into the music of Resisting the Hero. And since we’re talking romance songs what are some songs that make you swoon? I’m always looking to add more to my playlists.

About the Author:

Cindi Madsen sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, she’d be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a new pretty pair, especially if they’re sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long. 

She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband and three children. She is the author of YA novels All the Broken Pieces and Demons of the Sun, adult contemporary romances Falling for Her Fiancé and Act Like You love Me, and the women's fiction novel Cinderella Screwed Me Over.

Accidentally In Love #1: Falling For Her Fiance

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo

Danielle and Wes have been best friends since college, so when Wes needs a date for his sister’s wedding and Dani needs a partner for her company’s retreat, they devise the perfect plan: a fake engagement to get through both events unscathed. Adrenaline-junkie Wes can prove to both his ex and his family that he’s well and truly moved on, and serious-minded Dani can prove to her boss that she’s worthy of the promotion he seems to only want to give to a family-oriented employee.

But amid the fake swoons, fake kisses, and forced proximity, neither expects the very real feelings that develop. There’s nothing more dangerous than falling for your best friend…but what if the landing is worth the fall?

Accidentally In Love #2: Act Like You Love Me

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo

What would you do for a second chance with your first crush?

Brynn McAdams isn’t the awkward drama geek she was in high school—she’s grown up and confident, or at least she likes to think so. But when her old crush, the impossibly handsome and impossibly unattainable Sawyer Raines, comes back to town to direct her community play, Brynn finds herself determined to be someone other than the girl he doesn’t even recognize. Good thing she’s an excellent actress. 

After his bad breakup in NYC, the last thing Sawyer wants is to get involved with another actress. But the glamorous and beautiful Brynn draws him in, even though as her director, he knows she’s off-limits. There’s just something about the woman that feels…familiar. Like home. 

As Brynn’s lies start to snowball, she struggles to stop acting and come clean. But what if Sawyer is already falling for the fake Brynn, not the Brynn she truly is?
