Goodreads asked Rosy Maylor:

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

Rosy Maylor I've always been drawn to Cinderella stories. The trope of an ingenuous waif who's is rescued by a knight in shining armour appeals to my angsty feels in a big way. On the other hand, I find it more interesting when the knight's armour is slightly tarnished and the waif is more than what she appears to be.

So in "The Virgin's Dilemma" I wanted to add my own personal twist to the timeless trope and dig more deeply into what it is about these stories that keeps me coming back for more. Although I never set out to make deliberately feminist statements in my stories, those values always seem to come through in a multitude of ways. Recent world events and controversies have a way of sneaking into my plot and shaping the character development and this one is no exception.

Issues like sex workers rights and the role of allies to our cause are intertwined with sexual liberation, gender equality and women's rights in a complicated way. I like to write fun hot stories, but I also am who and what I am. So this latest release is the result of all of the many feels I have experienced over the last year and my oddball way of resolving them with my own life experience as a polyamorous bisexual sadomasochistic switch.

I hope that the result is a fun sexy story that is relatable and angst ridden and pervy... and also hopeful despite some of the darker elements it encompasses.
