The Connolly Affair
by Brett Scott Ermilio
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Nicki Connolly’s life has
flat lined. Nicki’s dull marriage to her husband, Aiden, flounders further and
further into a hopeless abyss. Despite the setbacks, Nicki attempts to balance
being a working mother, a successful attorney and relishes the distractions of
a budding romance with a man named Taylor Diamond. Nicki has been assigned lead
attorney in a massive class-action lawsuit that will make or break her career
at the firm of Rapture and Myers. That is when the handsome Taylor Diamond
appears in her life.
Taylor Diamond has been
named second chair for the big case. Taylor has it all: looks, brains, a strong
family name and many connections. But dark forces loom and converge upon Nicki
and Taylor. As obstacles grow, the two form a fiery bond just as the case and
her life reach an epic breaking point.
The Connolly Affair
delivers a suspense-filled thrill ride that will have readers on the edge of
their seats.

EXCERPT:
Bob, Charles, and James are all hovering over
someone—something. As they applaud and step back, I see with my own eyes their
new toy. Taylor Diamond. Taylor is an incredibly aggressive young attorney with
a long list of clients and an even longer list of success. He looks like he
just fell out of a Yale fraternity magazine; the ideal stunner of a man. His
face maintains the perfect jaw structure, his blue eyes and perfect wavy, black
hair only further compliment his broad shoulders and, near perfect, six-foot
physique. Oh, my God. He’s incredible. For a moment, I forget that I am
a partner in my law firm and not a school girl, staring at the shockingly handsome,
cool senior at Liberty High.

A Little Interview
Where are
you from?
Originally, Brooklyn, NY. My family moved to Los Angeles when I was
2. My uncle is Neil Bogart (The Disco King). He started a crazy company called
Casablanca Records. He brought my father out to LA for work and I grew up
there.
What is the
first book you remember reading?
Shel Silverstein’s Where The Sidewalk Ends.
When did you
realize you wanted to became a writer?
When I was nearing the end of high
school, I wrote my first full length screenplay. It was at that moment I knew it
was for me. Despite being a baseball prospect at the time, I knew in my heart
writing was the way to go.
Do you have
a special place you like to write?
Not really. I can write anywhere. One place
doesn’t inspire me more than another. More than anything, it’s the music I
listen to that I draw inspiration from.
What else do
you enjoy doing, when you're not writing?
I am a dad. I have 4 amazing kids. So
they can take up quite a bit of time. I love playing sports (although age is
getting me now). I exercise and stay in shape. 1,000 push-ups a week and some
cardio and abs. Bike riding. I would like to read more. I am so driven by my
own work I honestly wish I would stop to appreciate others a bit more.
What are you
working on next?
I just completed the second book for The Connolly Affair series. I am currently writing a very cool
thriller set in 1920 surrounding the Barnegat Lighthouse. It is very Alfred
Hitchcock and Stephen King.
