September, 2020 -- Warpaint is a charming romantic comedy novel by J.J. Maya set in the grand beauty halls of Glasgow and New York. And as the Editor-in-Chief of Haute Living San Francisco, Teresa Rodriguez puts it, “a roller coaster romantic comedy that is both heartbreaking and hilarious...”
The story is about a Scottish makeup artist Willow who fell in love and married the dashing New Yorker, Rick after a whirlwind romance. But her dream life of living in New York is actually far from the perfect fresh start she had always imagined. She paid no attention to the warnings of her workmates about her marrying Rick until she discovered that the supposed Manhattan loft is actually a bedsit in Queens where Rick’s ex, Isabella, is still in residence. Feeling scorned and rejected, Isabella alerted the authorities of a suspected Green Card Marriage as part of her revenge. This set off a chain reaction of dramatic consequences and puts Willow’s dream life in jeopardy even before it starts.
“WARPAINT is the first book in a new series. It's hilarious, heartbreaking, with a dash of romance and angst thrown in. An extremely enjoyable read, that leaves you wanting to read more,” according to a Net Galley Reviewer.
Warpaint is Book One in the heartwarming Second Chance Oh So Boutique! Series and readers are dying to find out if Willow will find the courage to stay in New York and make all her makeup artistry dreams come true.
