This is not the cover for The Rookie
This is not the cover for The Rookie.
Remember how I told you in my previous post that I planned all the couples in the Remington series before I even typed Chapter One in Deep Trouble? (more on Deep Trouble in another post!) Well, Kennedy's brother, Xander, was supposed to get a novella in the Station Seventeen series called Deep Cover. It was going to come right after Down Deep and it was going to get this sizzling hot cover image shot by photographer Wander Aguiar.
But then.
I knew I wanted to pair Xander up with the tough-as-nails ADA who'd lobbied to throw him in jail (hi, Tara!) I also knew I wanted him to have a redemption story (bad-boy-turned-good-man) and that redemption usually takes time.
Dangit!
I very reluctantly put him on hold and decided to dive directly into the Remington Medical series so Xander could have time to go to the police academy and start his rookie year as a patrol officer. But by the time I got to his book, I knew it would kick the Intelligence series off and NOT be part of the Station Seventeen series, so this photo, which I'd originally intended to be the cover image, didn't work anymore. I was SO sad not to use it (although I do use it to this day in ads and social media posts, because yummmm!)
Tell me, Tasties! Have you read The Rookie? How do you feel about redemption stories? And what about the cover The Rookie ended up with? #swoon
