Walking away from him was easy.

The first time at least.

Then he shows up late one night at Trihn’s ballet company, and all bets are off. Trihn knows that she should be careful. But when it comes to Preston Whitehall, she throws all her carefully constructed reasons for not dating out the window.

He’s cunning, charming, and hot as sin. And he knows exactly how to use those qualities to get what he wants. Soon, Trihn is dragged deeper and deeper into his rapidly intensifying whirlwind.

But where a storm is brewing…destruction and devastation follow.

Find out how Trihn goes from prodigy to party girl in this sexy full-length prequel to Platinum in the USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde’s All That Glitters series.

FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT EMERALDS

• Emeralds is primarily set in New York City. I went there for a weekend to do research for this book, and all of the places they go to (even if not specifically named) are real!

Trihn is a ballerina at a dance studio in the city. Name changed from what it is in real life, but based off of the New York City ballet.

I danced all forms of dance growing up and recently took up pole dancing. These are all centered around Trihn as she is a very accomplished dancer. All the moves she does in ballet or otherwise are real choreographed steps!

This is the first book I’ve ever written in romance where the main character has an older sister.

Trihn is basically the polar opposite of Bryna, the main character from Diamonds and Gold. She was really fun and difficult to write, because she is incredibly nuanced and has a personality that compartmentalizes her feelings and relationships depending on who she is with. I think that’s why Bryna and Trihn work as friends. Bryna holds Trihn up, and Trihn holds Bryna back. You’ll get to know Trihn so much more in this book and come to love her!

My Review

This is the third book in the All that Glitters series and can be read as a standalone. The first two books focus on a girl named Bryna Turner and the people that are a part of her life. Trihn Hamilton is a friend of Bryna’s and this book tells her story.

Emeralds is an exciting preview in to the full story behind Trihn. We get to find out about her life before she heads to off to college. She meets a guy, falls hard and gets taken in on a whirlwind relationship. It’s highly emotional, dramatic and sexy!

I really enjoyed reading Emeralds and I can’t wait to read Platinum to see how this story ends.
