Synopsis
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.

Emeralds gives us Trihn's backstory, a small glimpse into the past that makes her who she is today and shows how her path changed. 

Finished with High School and about to embark on her college journey, Trihn's got the world at her hands for the summer and she's looking to make the most of it.  She runs into Preston by accident the first time and they have an instant attraction.  Trihn decides to do something she hasn't really done before and put herself out there with this man.  They have somewhat of a whirlwind romance, but then it falls apart as Trihn discovers things about Preston that leave her mad and hurting. 

Emeralds is full of Crazy wild twists and though you sort of expect some aspects of the twists, the rest just blow you away.  We get to watch Trihn think she's falling in love and be devestated by what transpires later with this man and watch as she moves to make changes to her future. She isn't running away, she's following her dreams while getting away from painful history.  

I loved Trihn, she's smart and funny and also sweet and a little naive. She's young though, so that's not all that out of the norm.  I felt Trihn had ultimately made the best decision at the end of the book, she's setting aside her mistakes, forgiving herself, and she still wants to do right by other people in her life, even if they don't believe that.  

I look forward to reading the rest of Trihn's story and seeing her future self.  







 
FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT EMERALDS
 
  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. This is the first book I've ever written in romance where the main character has an older sister.
  5. 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!
