Goodreads asked Ilene Withers:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Ilene Withers My latest novel, "To Release an Earl" will be coming out on February 10th. It is a sequel to "The Blackmailed Beauty". I love books that have continuing characters in them and I wanted to give Willa her own book. However, at the end of "The Blackmailed Beauty" Willa is engaged. This meant I had to look beyond a traditional romance. I'm not sure what caused me to think about what would happen if she were to be seriously injured in a life changing manner. Would her love for the Earl of Roydon be enough to release him from their engagement so that he might marry a woman who faced a better quality of life.
