Intimate was a spur-of-the-moment release, much like the first one.
Part of me told myself I had already dug a hole into this series, and I was frantically trying to dig myself back out. I had people asking for a sequel and... I hadn't planned on writing one.
The other part of me absolutely loved Aria and Noah, and I didn't want to let them go. It is EXTREMELY hard to write a long-distance couple's book. As I am sure you can imagine, a long-distance relationship, in general, is challenging. I had to come up with additional characters to present a challenge in the relationship, which is where Leo came in. I honestly have never met someone like Leo, and I felt like, just for a moment, he was the better fit for Aria. But we can touch on that if there's a third book.
Intimate was a project I worked on through most of college and published right before I graduated. If you liked Noah and Aria, please feel free to get in touch with me because I will need a lot of motivation to write for these two again. They're like the annoying friend of your friend that won't leave you alone to "try to connect."
