Three Year Rule (The Rule, #1)

Best-selling relationship expert Elizabeth Stewart escapes the bustle of city life to write her next book in the quiet of rural Utah. Nestled on her late uncle's secluded property, she plans to test her own "three-year rule" in peace: the theory that everyone hides their true self for the first three years of a relationship.
But peace is the last thing she finds.
Enter Joshua Walker—rugged, maddeningly calm, and hired to build her remote mountain home. He looks like he stepped off a romance cover, smells of sawdust and cedar, and sees right through Elizabeth's carefully constructed defenses. His no-pretense attitude threatens to dismantle the very foundation of her bestselling brand—and her heart isn't far behind.
Consumed by her attraction to Josh and determined to prove he's not what he seems, Elizabeth overlooks the one truth she's trained herself never to miss: the danger hiding in plain sight.
Someone is watching. Someone who knows her routines. Someone who's been waiting for the perfect moment to get closer.
And when the line between curiosity and obsession vanishes, Elizabeth will have to choose between trusting her heart—and surviving it.

About Alaina:
Alaina lives a stone's throw from the Mississippi River in Missouri. Her first story was published in the local newspaper at age 6. She hasn't stopped writing since.
As the mother of seven children she loved to play video games with her kids. One day it occurred to her to write an adventure that flowed like a video game. She added a touch of romance and Hypnotic Journey was born.
The Fantasy Romance- HJ characters are like a family to Alaina. They are foolish, daring, resourceful and full of passion not only for life but for the friendships they have created in this world and the next.
Alaina's been a Trekkie all her life, so her next series was Science Fiction. The Treborel Series is a paranormal adventure featuring a two best friend's as the hero's fighting to find the women they love and survive the chaos of a continental conflict while being stalked by a psychotic villain determined to destroy them.
Archangel is a pre-apocalyptic series about angels fighting against the rising evil in a desperate attempt to keep humanity alive long enough to reach the end of days.
Royal Duty is a new type of series. Each book is a different genre- Science Fiction, Historical Romance, Fantasy, etc. They all share a central theme of a royal heir struggling against their obligations to the throne.
In the end, Alaina writes about how friendship and love can be the only thing keeping you alive long enough to defeat your demons. You will find Alaina's stories exciting and steamy, but she's not an erotic author. Her characters still fall in love and have sex, its just not that obvious.
You can email Alaina at 11alaina11@gmail.com anytime. She loves to hear from her readers.
