Suzanne Enoch Quote
She shifted gears as they left Worth Avenue, hurtling them along the beach at just sublight speed. Jesus, Addison, you are so blind, she finally exploded. She comes in playing the damsel in distress, and you buy all of it.She did n—‘Oh, Richard, I need your help,’ she mimicked, doing a startlingly good impression of Patricia’s soft, cultured Brit—especially since the two women had barely spoken a total of five words to one another. ’I’ve left Peter, and I so badly want to make a new start, but I just don’t know how to do it on my own. You’re so big and strong and successful, can’t you see it in your heart to help me?’ Samantha canted her eyes at him. Did it go a little like that?Christ. Maybe, he hedged. But—See? She wants you back.Well, she can’t have me. I’m taken. But she asked for my help, and I’m partially the reason she’s in this position.No, she put herself on her back and then you put her in the next position.Even so—You can’t resist putting on your shining armor, can you? she said more calmly, blowing out her breath. And if I know it, then she knows it, too.Honestly, Samantha, I think it’s more a matter of Patricia actually being helpless than her acting that way to gain my assistance. I doubt she could find a grocery store on her own, much less the toothpaste aisle.But she’s not after toothpaste.As they stopped at a light, Richard leaned over and grabbed Samantha’s face, kissing her hard on her surprised mouth. Don’t worry about this. You won’t have to deal with her.Maybe not, but you will. And keep in mind that she’s got a subscriber website where she gives advice about how not to get screwed in a divorce.She does?Yes. Interesting stuff. You really need to spend more time surfing the ’net.Shit. Before Samantha could follow up her smug look with more commentary, he took a breath. I’ll make dumping the website a condition of my helping her.Great. She won’t need the site, anyway, because she’ll be busy screwing you over in person, instead.No one screws me over, Samantha. Ever.Yet, smart guy. Yet.

Enoch began writing down her own stories when she was a child. She graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a degree in English.

She quit her full-time job in 2002 to devote herself to writing.
Although Enoch has had great success writing Regency romances, in 2005 she published her first contemporary romantic suspense novel. She has continued to write in both genres, telling an interviewer that "I think working in one genre replenishes my energy for the other." Her novels have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list as well as those compiled by USA Today and Publishers Weekly.
