   To Catch a Sinner (with Lucy Wilson-Tagoe)

   Dylan Allen is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling romance author. Now she's also writing under the truest name she's ever had -- Lucy Wilson-Tagoe. Lucy joins to talk about her steamy new romantic suspense To Catch a Sinner. We talk her writing journey, the attorney to author pipeline, and some deliciously messy book community drama. It would be easier to settle for a less ordinary life. Fortunately for us, that's not Lucy's path. To Catch a Sinner is out now (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GN4GHL94?utm_medium=social&utm_source=linktree&utm_campaign=to+catch+a+sinner+%28the+blurred+lines+duet+book+1%29&ascsubtag=srctok-f66082e6a99c4699&btn_type=pt&btn_ref=srctok-f66082e6a99c4699)-- wherever you buy your books!
