[The Proposal] Songs from The Proposal

Sometimes you hear a song and the story unfolds in front of you with each lyric. I love to listen to music while I write. A song might fit a scene perfectly or convey an emotion that makes it easier to me to write it. For each of my books, one of the first things I do is start a playlist. From the first time we meet in my mind, I’m getting to know who they are. Their stories and their struggles. It might be a song they love to dance to after a break up, the one they’re walking in the rain to or that one playing in their head after a night with their love.

It’s crazy how much fuel a song can give me. I won’t lie, I’ve definitely cried during some of them when writing. So I have a playlist for The Proposal. Leo and Zara’s story is sweet, sexy and emotional and beautiful.

Check out some of the songs that helped me bring their story to life!

One of my favorite songs is by Dua Lipa. Have you ever had that person you can’t stop thinking about even when you don’t want to? You can’t help yourself from dreaming about them no matter how hard you try. They’re under your skin and you have no idea how to get rid of them or if you even want to.

Now imagine you’re their fake fiancé…
