Opposites Attract: The Virgin and Playboy
by Synithia Williams
by Synithia Williams
In my novel, , I pair a virgin with a playboy. This situation isn’t new in romance. Some may even say it’s fairly boring. But I wanted to take a different approach with my virgin heroine and heartbreaker of a man. Many of the virgins in romances are young. I took a bold leap and made my virgin older. Like, turning thirty older. While a thirty year old virgin may not be common, I do believe they exist. And for a woman still saving herself for marriage and nearing thirty, I would imagine dating to be hard.
So what’s a strong willed modern woman to do when faced with that situation? Find the best guy to free her of the nuisance: her virginity that is.
Which brings me back to my love of opposites attract storylines. What better man to relieve Tasha of her problem than a playboy with no desire to fall in love and a lack of trust in the hearts of women. My hero, Jared Patterson, doesn’t easily fall in love with Tasha easy, and he fights it every step of the way. As I suspect a man would when approached with the idea of deflowering a marriage minded virgin.
I used this book to explore what a relationship between these two polar opposites would be like. How must it feel to hold onto your virginity because you were waiting for a husband, only to finally give it up to a man that doesn’t want to marry you? How hard would it be for a man that doesn’t trust women to believe in the innocence of woman who saved herself for marriage? And how would they handle the very real consequences of a sex only relationship that drastically affects their lives. I strived to write a realistic opposites attract story, and keep the magic that makes romance novels so enjoyable.
When a virgin frustrated by her nonexistent dating life asks a playboy for a one-night stand, can they really ignore their attraction after the affair?
After Tasha Smith is dumped yet again because of her virginity, she decides it’s time to stop saving herself for marriage and start dating like women in the twenty-first century. She sets out to find a man rumored to be good enough in bed to relieve her of the nuisance, but discreet enough to keep her request a secret.
Jared Patterson seems like the perfect candidate. Yet after one searing kiss, she wonders if she’ll escape a night with him unscathed. Jared’s job as a successful fitness instructor and entrepreneur has helped him keep a string of meaningless relationships from the east to the west coast. After learning the hard way that women can’t be trusted, he has no qualms going from one sex-only relationship to the next. Although Tasha is one of the few types of women he avoids—a good girl—the man in him can’t turn down her tempting offer.
What starts out as a onetime thing quickly turns into an affair neither want to stop. But when an unexpected situation drastically alters their relationship, it leaves them both asking if it was Worth the Wait.
