Book Description:

What if with one choice you could change your whole life in a matter of seconds?

Aston Boyd has always put everything into her work. She has never needed anyone in her life and has survived on her own since she was 18, never looking back. When she gets her dream promotion and becomes the new editor at one of the biggest publishing houses in Arizona, she thinks she has finally figured it all out.

But, when Aston receives an invitation to her first love’s wedding, she starts to re-evaluate just how much she has given up for her career.
With a mission in mind to try and win back the one she let go, she never took in to consideration that what she might need, or even want, could be right in front of her.

Will she be willing to put her heart out there to get back the life she could have had, or will she try for something new?

Sloan Holden is the quintessential bad boy trying to cover all that up with his good boy act. He has spent the last 9 years trying to prove to his over bearing father that he can change his ways, and one day run his publishing house. The only thing standing in his way is the slew of fast women and his wild lifestyle, which he just can’t seem to give up. He doesn’t do relationships and always vowed to stay single forever.

A lot can change when the one person you thought you would never fall for worms their way into your heart, but will the feelings be returned?

Meet Amanda Bennett:

I am an author, a mother, and a wife. I was born in Washington, but grew up in Arizona and now I reside in Utah with my husband and 2 amazing little boys. When I was little I wanted to be a Race Car Driver, seems how that didn’t pan out I went with being a writer:) I am who I am because of the people I have met and the things I have been through.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I am a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a best friend and an author. I enjoy writing more than anything else I have ever done. I’m big into family and my kids and husband always come first. I love movies, playing pool, dancing, shooting darts & the 49ers.. Lol I am who I am because of the people I’ve met and the things I have been through, and I don’t regret a single moment in my life 🙂

How many projects and stories did you discard along the way to (Misguided Heart)? If you did? If not, what pulled your imagination to the story line of Misguided Heart?
I put off a few stories but I haven’t discarded anything. Misguided heart started last year and got put on the back burner for the broken series. It came to me in a dream so I rolled with it.

How did you come up with the title? 
The title was the easiest part for me. The main character is a woman who literally let’s her heart misguide her.

How does your writing process look? Consistent with regular amounts of word counts daily/weekly… or more sporadic with a gush of words all at once and then a dry bed for a while?
I let my mind do the writing for me. I don’t like to force myself to write something, so I just let it come as it may. Some days I have an amazing flow and others not so much 🙂

Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans? 
Each and every one of you make writing totally worth it. I can’t put into words how thankful I am to have such amazing readers! Always go after what you want and don’t take no for an answer. You’ll regret it if you do.

Thank you so much for having me to your blog. I appreciate it so much.
