UNFORGIVABLE

Releases today! Hope you caught my interview with Chance who you can meet in UNFORGIVABLE, his story will be told in UNREDEEMABLE, and guess what...signed contract this morning for UNHINGED!

Here's a bit about Rand and Nola from UNFORGIVABLE:

Blurb:

One careless shot in the dark, and their lives collided.

Nola Lester finally had enough of life in the city’s fast lane. She needed to get away, get back to her roots, but tending a wounded hunter whose controlling and charismatic personality triggered strange desires threatened Nola’s plans. Perhaps changing her agenda may not be such a bad idea.

Rand Mitchell anticipated relaxing in the secluded mountains he felt drawn to year after year. There would be no rescuing animals or hunting humans, just peace and quiet while searching for clues to explain the mystery of who he is. Instead, Rand found himself ensnared by a sharp-tongued spitfire more than willing to provide a diversion.

Neither of them knew what a deadly creature she held in the palm of her hand.

Unhappiness tightened his jaw, creased his forehead. Nola had seen him angry, being a smartass, and God, the look on his face when he made love… Shit, only sex she told him. It was more, much more, but she would never tell him because Rand wasn’t the kind to settle down. She got the feeling only a little of his time was spent here or surely she would have run into him. The need to give him whatever solace she could for however long became overwhelming. She reached over and brushed his cheek with her fingers. “Sound like wonderful people.”

“Nola…”

“Hmm.”

“I can’t stand it when you touch me.”

She snatched her hand away, folded it in her lap.

“No, no.” Rand grabbed it back, drew fingers to his mouth and sucked them one at a time. “I meant when you touch me it makes me hotter than hell. Feel this.” He moved her hand to the crotch of his jeans where he manipulated her fingers to squeeze and rub his growing hardness.

Nola’s toes tingled with excitement. “You said…”

“…it wouldn’t happen again.” He ripped the sheet away. “Don’t hide from me.” Dragging her over to straddle his lap, Rand kissed her lips softly before peering at her. “Just sex, right? Lean back.” He let her butt slip between his thighs onto the mattress and he got on his knees between her legs. “One more time.”

Chance, an Immortal Redeemer from Unforgivable

Today, I'm lucky Chance, whom we first meet in Unforgivable, Immortal Redeemers, Book 1, stopped by. If anyone out there has questions, he's promised to hang around for a bit.

JHS: First let me say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Thanks, Chance, for coming in.
Chance: A friend of Nola's is a friend of mine, maybe. Isn't there a shortage of turkeys?
JHS: I've heard something like that. Anyway, in four words, can you describe yourself?
Chance: I can describe you in four words, big, sexy, under me.
JHS: What the hell does that mean? Under you?
Chance: Stupid question isn't it?
JHS: Let's move on. Do you have a love interest?
Chance: Through the years, I've had many. One human captured my heart...I don't want to talk about that.
JHS: Can you answer an age-old question for us, what do real men wear under kilts?
Chance: How the hell would I know, lady? I'm a raptor, you know, bird of prey. Feathers. You're not good at this are you?
JHS: You're a real smart ass.
Chance: Don't ask stupid questions.
JHS: Why don't you just tell us what you want us to know.
Chance: Not much to tell. I've protected animals from humankind far longer than I can remember. Many have been pushed to the brink of extinction. Man, he falls under my protection also, but damn, it's hard to care for a being who doesn't get it.
JHS: What don't they get?
Chance: Their days are numbered too. Shouldn't you be talking to Rand, he's Unforgivable?
JHS: Rand Mitchell?
Chance: Yes, Rand is...Rand will receive my mantle of trust, he'll be the greatest Immortal Redeemer ever. Me, I'm headed down a road full of destruction and death.
JHS: Meaning what?
Chance: I am Unredeemable.
JHS: Sorry, didn't mean to upset you.
Chance: Yeah, well, shit happens, right. Hey there's still a little good left in me and what you really want to know is stupid shit like what's my favorite food, what I wear beneath my slacks. Okay, here goes. I love anything spicy, I mean really hot, I drink Yuengling beer, believe it or not, I eat meat in spite of my efforts to save animals. I've never wasted an animal, never killed for sport or money unlike many.
JHS: I'm...well...
Chance: I can unzip my pants, let you see if I'm commando, boxers, or briefs. Want to crawl in bed with me, see what I wear before sleeping?
JHS: Look, I appreciate your stopping by...
Chance: Sure you do. If you see Rand or Nola, tell them thanks, thanks a lot for opening old wounds.
The door slammed shut behind him.
JHS: Uhh, guess he won't be taking any questions, but fire away, I may have a few answers for you.

Hmm, Chance may have left a surprise for some lucky commenter. UNFORGIVABLE, Immortal Redeemers, Book 1, will be available December 12th at Changeling Press.
