The Ex-Wife by Lyndell Williams

Genre Muslim Romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

Zaynab flees a dysfunctional marriage, saving herself from an emotional breakdown. After two years of therapy overseas, she returns to reconnect with the son she left behind. She is not interested in remarrying, but then a sexy firefighter pulls her from a car wreck and catches her interest.

Xander moved to town for his new job at the fire department. He thrives at his new job but struggles for acceptance in the local Muslim community. When he pulls Zaynab from a wreck, he’s just doing his job. Soon, sparks fly between them.

As Zaynab and Xander start digging each other, family and community threaten to snuff out their kindling desire for each other.

Why did you write this book?

It was readers who fell in love with Zaynab in the book The Groom and asked that she have a happily-ever-after as well. I wanted her to have the chance to reunite with her son and find the love of her choosing after making a huge sacrifice by leaving him to protect him from her rampant depression and anxiety.

What is your favorite genre to read?

I love romance novels. I enjoy a lot of subgenres and tropes, but I think my favorite is friends-to-lovers. There’s something appealing about two people fighting off the urge to dig each other and jeopardize their friendship.

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

Honestly, I don’t have a favorite character, but there is a character type that I just can’t get enough of. The alpha male with a reserved nature. Despite not thumping his chest, he is nonetheless confident and dangerous. In a male character, I like a composed individual who is confident that he is exactly what his beloved wants. He must be assertive, but not overbearing. His role is to support and encourage.

What are you working on at the moment?

As usual, I have several projects to finish and get to readers. I plan to finish writing the second book in the Sinner Series and release a Muslim vampire romance. Say what? That’s right, a Muslim vampire romance.

What books will we see from you in coming months?

I am about to release the fourth book in the Brothers in Law series. Readers have already had the chance to meet the main character Brandon Hulse in previous books. He is the rock of the group of friends he met while studying at law school. He focused on his legal career, and became a successful lawyer, but neglected his love life. In Drowning in Shallow Waters, Brandon will finally look for love, and he thinks he finds it in Hawwah, a chef with a dark past. The book is almost ready to get into readers’ hands, and I can’t wait for them to fall in love with this couple!
