Rad-Reader: How did you come up with this story?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: What is it with Tate living on an island? Or is that just a stopover?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: How many children does Kari have total that she has abandoned that Tate is so upset when she is left with this baby?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: Why don’t Tate and Kari get along?
Joss:
She was a product of her tumultuous past, Tate decided as resentment twisted her stomach into knots. Her life had been perfect before Kari and her mom, Lauren, her mother’s twin, came to live with them for what was supposed to be a month or so until the single mom found a job and her bearings. A month had turned into six, and her dad had moved out, threatening divorce unless their lives returned to a normal, Kari- and Lauren-free existence.
Her mom, Lane, chose her twin. Tate had lost her dad, her home and her mother, who seemed to prefer Kari to her, all in less than a year. They all had lost the financial security her father had brought to the table. Then when she was eight and Kari eleven, her aunt had been diagnosed with breast cancer and quickly passed away, leaving the three of them to muddle along, moving from one rental to another. Lane had managed to scrape enough money together to cover the legal fees for her to formally adopt Kari and to petition the courts to change Tate’s surname to Harper, with no objection from her father.
All her life Tate had felt like the third wheel and a stranger in her own house. Her teenage years with Kari had been pure hell. Kari had an uncontrollable temper, a sense of entitlement and was a master manipulator.
Rad-Reader: Why is Kari on the run or is it more than we can know at this time and more than she is willing to share?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: Why did Kari leave Linc at the altar?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: Why does Tate keep moving all the time? What is she afraid of if she stays in one place too long?
Joss:
Tate had coped by dreaming of running away to places like Patagonia and Santorini, Istanbul and Ethiopia. Anywhere, she decided, was better than sharing a small house with a selfish, irresponsible drama queen and her enabler. When she left home to travel the world, she’d realized her teenage instincts were correct and that she was much happier having an ocean and a couple of continents between her and her mother and Kari. She liked being alone and free, not having to answer to anyone but herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t like people, she did but her mom and Kari were emotional leeches. At a young age, she’d learned to create little pockets of solitude around herself and tried to spend as much time there as possible.
When you didn’t rely on anybody for anything—companionship, love, company—they had no power to hurt you.
Rad-Reader: Does she not like rich people the way she reacts to Linc?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: Linc is still angry with Kari but allows Tate in to talk. Was it just lusting after Kari that he let her in or his sense of curiosity?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: Jo has found herself a good man and now Linc needs a nanny. But he seems to handle kids’ great. Why can’t he handle Shaw himself?
Joss:
Rad-Reader: Linc finds himself attracted to Tate is it because she looks so much like Kari?
Joss:

Linc: Tyler Hoechlin
Shaw: Just a haircut pic off the web
