Interview with Angela
Clayborn and Emma Nichols, co-heroines from Wild At Heart.
K: Greetings ladies:)
A: Hello again!
E: Hi Kenzie:) Thanks for having us back in better weather
this time!
A: It's not snowing
this time, but the rain can stop anytime now.
I'm ready for warmer weather.
K: I hear you! My son's getting addicted to Minecraft videos
and we've had to resort to limiting his time on the computer.
Is everything still okay between you two?
A: Definitely. I think we're all happier now. Wouldn't you say, Emma?
E: Yeah. I like the
new cover! I'm glad we were-what did you call it?-re-released closer to our
timeline.
K: That's exactly what happened. I'm not going to bad-mouth anyone, so suffice
it to say, things didn't work out the first time around, so I was graciously
granted my rights back. My new publisher
was totally in love with you two, and fast-tracked it last May.
E: I see.
K: How's Brad? I've tried to get Brad to talk to me, but he
won't.
E: I've kept him
pretty busy:) I'm also training him as a
part-time stable hand.
K: What about you, Angie? Are you happy with the new cover and the
re-release?
A: I'm like the
depiction of Indiana
better on the other cover, but I'm happy with the new one. It's more like a 'Little House on the
Prairie' look. And in case people don't
remember, I can't believe I was in such denial about Steve. I had started dating Brad because my friends thought
he was perfect for me, but it just goes to show you can't force chemistry.
E: And you and Steve
definitely have it! We went out to
dinner last night before the rain arrived, and Steve couldn't keep his hands
off of her!
A: Well neither could
you and Brad!
K: I also want you both to know
that your story has been nominated for the P&E Reader’s Poll, and when I
went to Estes Park
E: Cool; I know
she'll like it! Brad's getting me a
Kindle so I can find that scene in Anny's book.
And what poll?
A: Who's book? And yes, what poll?
K: The P&E Reader’s poll,
where readers vote for their favorite books published last year. Last time I checked, you were holding steady
at #10. Anny's a good friend of mine,
Emma. Contact me when you get your
Kindle and I'll email Anny's website to you.
She's got a lot of other books you might like, plus I'll introduce you
around to other wonderful e-books and authors.
E: Awesome! Thanks! What do we win?
K: Only bragging rights.
A: Somehow, that doesn’t
seem quite fair.
E: I was hoping there
was prize money or something. I need to
add another building to my ranch.
K: Sorry sweetie, this is just a
popularity contest. Time's up ladies; I
need to fix dinner for the family.
Thanks for coming by.
A: Thanks for the
yummy cookies! I need your recipe.
E: Don't tell Nora,
but your chocolate chips are better than hers.
K: Who do you think gave me the
recipe? I've improved on them, that's
all.
E: Hey, do you
suppose if you offer those cookies to everyone who votes for us, maybe we’d
break into the top 5?
A: I don’t think
bribery’s allowed. And Kenzie would have
to open a bakery in order to make that many cookies!
K: Yeah, let’s not go there.
Blurb:
Angela Clayborn discovers the man she sent to prison nearly
two years before, has been granted an early release. Torn between wanting to see him and fearful
if she does, sparks fly when Steve Blumenthal appears in her gift shop and
later at her condo. Will Angie free her
heart from its icy prison? Has Steve
really turned his life around, or is it a hoax?
Meanwhile, in Colorado
on business, Angie’s current boyfriend, Brad Morrison, is wrestling with his
own call of the wild. He’s met
unconventional, sexy Emma Nichols, who runs not only her own riding stable, but
helps out with her family’s woodworking store in EstesPark. Emma resents Brad’s offer to help during a
family crisis, but eventually discovers that Fate sometimes sends people down
unexpected paths to love. Can Brad tame
a wildcat? Or will Emma settle for the
safe path?
Excerpt:
Angie sighed and shifted; it was all the encouragement he
needed. Raising her shirt, he bent his
head and drew the taunt nipple into his mouth, reaching behind her back to find
the bra clasp, Getting it unsnapped, the
fabric fell away, and he filled his hand with her other breast, getting to know
her all over again.
Panting, Steve worked his own shirt over his head and
pressed their torsos together, feeling her nipples burn against his chest. He tongued both nipples, hearing her soft
moans and the rush of blood pounding in both his head and his groin. He unsnapped his jeans with the increasingly
uncomfortable pressure building, and carefully managed to free himself. Holding his swollen cock with one hand, he
unfastened Angie’s slacks and tugged them down over her hips, nearly losing it
when he saw the transparent underwear and the ginger triangle beneath. He lightly inserted a finger in the
waistband. Angie bucked her hips; he
peeled the final barrier down and lightly stroked. She cried out softly at the contact, and he
tugged both slacks and underwear to her ankles.
He brushed his palms over her mound, feeling the tension in
her muscles and listening to her increased breathing. He reached behind him for his wallet and
withdrew the blue-foiled packet. He
waved it in front of her.
“Do I need this?” he asked, giving her one last chance to
stop him.
She nodded, and he mentally thanked God, fate, and whoever
else that he wasn’t going to be denied this final pleasure he’d waited so long
for. He ripped the packet, removed the
latex sheath and rolled it on his nearly bursting member. Gently, he slipped inside her folds, nearly
crying with the sweetness of the action.
But it had been so long…and he’d wanted to love Angie physically before
that fateful night… three quick thrusts and it was all over for him. He collapsed on top of her, mortified that it
hadn’t lasted longer. He stayed inside
of her, willing his body to grow hard again, but she shifted beneath him and he
slipped out.
He rose up on his elbows and kissed her softly. “God, Angie..that was beautiful,” he
panted. “I just wish I could have lasted
longer…”
Brad and Emma
Emma laughed when she recognized Nora’s Longaberger basket.
“So I wasn’t the only one out late?” She curved her lips into a sly smile.
“The only one with the sense to return to his own bed before
getting caught,” he retorted. “And I don’t sing Rock Star in the shower!”
“You heard that, huh? Brad likes to listen to the radio, and
we both like Nickleback.” She defended their impromptu duet.
“The sheep heard you and decided to stay up in the mountains
longer.”
