BLURB:
Simone Levin had a dream job as a safari pilot until an unexpected pregnancy clipped her wings. Tired of juggling motherhood with her demanding flight schedule, Simone applies for an office job, unaware that her new boss is Carlo Carlevaro, the man who’d ditched her before finding out he’d knocked her up. Carlo returns to East Africa only to kill another fire—Ivory trafficking from his lodges threatens to destroy his company. Finding Simone back on the payroll comes as a pleasant surprise. As his employee, Simone is off-limits, but she is the only one he trusts to help with his undercover investigation. With time running out, Simone and Carlo strive to expose the trafficking ring, but working together rekindles their mutual desire. When Simone is implicated as a trafficker, revealing her daughter’s existence to Carlo seems inevitable. Acting on her instincts might come too late as the syndicate retaliate and hone in their threat. Will they survive to give their love a chance?

Excerpt Two:
Simone went to stand next to him. “Why am I here?”
He turned to her. The dark shadows under his eyes were somehow more accentuated in the play of lamplight than in the bright sunshine. “Let’s talk somewhere else.”
“Where do you suggest? The guests are bound to arrive soon and you know we can’t walk around by ourselves after dark.”
“Come to my room.”
She inhaled sharply, her hands clenching into fists. “Is that why I’m here? Do you really think–”
With a soft groan, Carlo curled his fingers around her arm and pulled her onto the deck, away from the other people sitting in the lounge. “To your room then,” he whispered, “although I much prefer mine. And no scenes, if you please.” His hand was a ring of fire around her arm, propelling her to the wooden walkway.
He walked next to her but let go of her arm.
A few steps from her tent she stopped. “I don’t care who hears this. If you think we’re going to carry on where we left off four years ago you are very much mistaken.”
He didn’t blink an eye. “You seem to be singularly one-track-minded, Simone.”
Heat rose to her cheeks; it spread down her chest to her treacherous heart, which pounded at the thought of him. Why was he still able to do this to her? Being alone with him was the worst possible idea.
“Well, if not for that, why march me to my tent as if you would have your way–”
“You may still be devilishly tempting, Simone, but now that I’m your boss you’re completely off limits.”

INTERVIEW with Sophia Karlson
What is something you’ve lied about?
My writing career!! For some time, I told people that I’m studying online and being very vague about the course online. This was technically true, but never told them I’m writing romance, until a friend and life coach forced my hand.
Who is the last person you hugged?
My daughter and son. Together. Family hugs are big in our house.
What are you reading now?
I’m listening to Sherlock Holmes read by Stephen Fry on and off. I’m Beta reading a lot at the moment and am trying hard to catch up with my Good Housekeeping magazines.
How do you come up with the titles to your books?
The title for Perfect Mistake has evolved a lot. The final title was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend, who told me about the Perfect Mistake her daughter had made. We had a good chuckle and then I said to her, I think you just coined the title for my book. For this series it works, the two other books in the series that are in the pipeline are titled Perfect Addiction and Perfect Storm.
Share your dream cast for your book.
Easy as pie. I am a total fan of Richard Armitage and would love him to play any tall, dark and handsome role…maybe I can get lucky one day let him read one of my books for Audible. As for the heroine, Charlene Theron would do the trick nicely if she wouldn’t mind having her hair permed for the role.
