This is the next
in a series of character interviews I conducted with my Back To You heroine
Lynsey Reznor. Lynsey has been kind enough to give us the scoop on some of
Unity’s hottest bachelors (and perhaps future heroes?).
Today’s subject
is one of Lynsey’s favorite—Owen Mitchell. From the straight laced, buttoned up
detective Lynsey met a year earlier, Owen has, shall we say, relaxed quite a
bit.
NN: Welcome
back, Lynsey. I’m always thrilled to get the scoop on Unity’s available men. I
know that Owen Mitchell is one who has a particular interest in you.
LR: I don’t know
about that, I do know that Owen is hot to write a true crime book with me about
the murder of a wannabe socialite who moonlighted as a hooker. He may have an
interest in me, but he has a bigger interest in using my name to get his book
published.
NN: I understand
that you met Owen in an unusual place.
LR: I think the correct explanation is I saw him
for the first time over an open grave in a cemetery. We were both at the
funeral of Nick Lincoln’s wife. We did not converse over her descending coffin.
We spoke for the first time at the wake. Just friendly conversation. I got to
know him better when I returned to Unity.
NN: I understand
that the physical changes in Owen are quite noticeable. Is it true he has
platinum teeth?
LR: A few, yes.
I sum up Owen Mitchell as a provocateur.
The teeth, the long hair, the tattoos, the
I don’t give a shit attitude. He’s trying to provoke a reaction. But it’s
just a mask…a front. Deep down it is not who he really is.
NN: And you know
who he really is?
LR: I have
spoken to Owen on a deep level. He has a past that contains a very horrifying
event concerning a close family member. Last year, this event resurfaced and
led to another horrifying event. It shattered him, and in turn, he
changed…maybe not in the best of ways, but he needs to work through it. One
thing I do know, he is a very good man beneath it all.
NN: Any chance
of anything of a romantic nature between you and Owen?
LR: Owen needs a
strong, confident woman in his life. Someone with a tremendous amount of patience.
NN: That sounds
just like you!
LR: At this
point in his life, I think he is better on his own until he comes to terms with
his past. A friend? Definitely, a lover? …Maybe. But not a permanent partner. Other than that,
I can’t really speak any further about his personal life. I’ve been privy to
some of it, and I will not betray his trust with gossip.
NN: Well, Owen
certainly does perk my attention. So, since Lynsey seems to have reached the end of her willingness to divulge
any more about Owen Mitchell and his secrets, we’ll say good-bye for now. Thank
you Lynsey for this insight!
Next time…Lynsey
dishes on bachelor Evan Monroe (and he is an absolute doll!).

On the surface, Lynsey Reznor seems to have
it all. She is beautiful, brilliant, and a successful true-crime writer who has
been living the past decade in Miami. But what Lynsey lacks is what she needs
the most—a family.
After the death of her mother, and yet
another failed relationship, Lynsey makes an impulsive decision to return to
her hometown of Unity. But Unity will present its own bittersweet memories,
most notably, her first love, Nick Lincoln.
Twenty years ago, Nick broke teenager
Lynsey’s heart when he decided to marry another. He had his own private
reasons—reasons he never explained to Lynsey. Now she is back, along with a
chance to reclaim her love. But Lynsey wants answers from him that he may never
be able to give out of duty and guilt.
