I am so excited to share my interview with the smokin’ hot bicyclist extraordinaire, Tom Geiger. Tom is the hero in Ride with Me, an original romance by the incomparable Ruthie Knox, about a cross-country bike adventure that takes a detour into unexplored passion. As readers will discover, Ride with Me is NOT about the bike!
I hope you enjoy this sneak peek at Tom’s amazing abs personality.

After that . . . well, she was something to watch. I’ve never seen anybody so completely determined to win. I got a huge kick out of watching her struggle not to show how bad some of those hot sauces were killing her. And I guess that was the first time I realized, “Christ, if that woman weren’t already somebody’s wife, she could cause you some serious trouble.” [Tom chuckles and rubs the back of his hand over his mouth.]
How did it affect me? I’d love to tell you I kept my distance and kept my hands off her. I sure as hell tried. For the most part, I succeeded, but after a while I just had to get away from the woman. I found her somebody else to ride with and took off like a shot.
Okay, so let’s get to know a little more about you. How do you unwind after a hard day on the trails?
[scratches his head]
Come to think of it, Lexie will probably nip that fantasy right in the bud. Let’s say Italy instead. I bet I could talk her into Italy, easy. Tuscany in the summertime would be pretty incredible.
[laughs at Tom’s brief deer-in-the-headlights look]
Tom, it’s been an absolute pleasure meeting you. Thank you so much for stopping by. Lexie is one lucky lady.
Ruthie Knox figured out how to walk and read at the same time in the second grade, and she hasn’t looked up since. She spent her formative years hiding romance novels in her bedroom closet to avoid the merciless teasing of her brothers and imagining scenarios in which someone who looked remarkably like Daniel Day Lewis recognized her well-hidden sex appeal and rescued her from middle-class Midwestern obscurity. After graduating from Grinnell College with an English and history double major, she earned a Ph.D. in modern British history that she’s put to remarkably little use.
