I could’ve fucking strangled her. She knew it too because she stepped away quickly. “Touch me and I’ll have you!” she snarled.“Bruja mala leche! What the fuck do you think you’re playing at! You can’t push me around!”“Sure I can.” Her eyes were slate grey, the same colour as the sky, and just as cold. “I need help, and you’re going to give it.” “What the hell are you talking about?”“I’ve got a situation. I need someone who isn’t afraid of murder and mayhem.”I should have charmed her, offered to help and maybe it would have settled it, but I was too mad to even consider it. “Help you? Over my dead fucking body!”She shrugged. “We can do it that way, too.” She took out her phone. “I’ll call you soon, hopefully within the hour. If you still refuse, I call Smith.” The eyes were hard. “I’d rather not shop you, because I hate that bastard, but I will if you make me.”I gave her my number. I mean, I wanted to kill her, but in London they notice things like bodies in the street. Especially if you’re careless enough to do it in broad daylight next to a cop shop.
Quique is having a bad time.  Back in Mexico his marriage has fallen apart and his wife has made him a laughing stock by cheating on him. Now he’s in London and finding himself out of his depth with a complex commercial deal. To make things worse, Natalia Truelove, a chef and pub manager, is blackmailing him.

Only then can they both find happiness.This dark romance novel contains mature situations and sensitive subject matter, and contains triggers some readers may find discomforting. It is a work of fiction and is intended for adult readers 18 and older. Amazon US I Amazon UK CHAPTER ONE SEPTEMBER 14, YEAR 03, (Four Years after the Ash) “I don’t know if we should get married.” “I understand.” Colonel Kent Barry clenches his hands into fists and looks out the window. The right side of his face flushes, and the mottled burn scars on the left side of his face pull the corner of his mouth down slightly. “I am not an attractive man.” My heart sinks. “You think I mean your scars. It’s not that at all.” “Right. Fine. Now, if we’re done here…” Shit. “It’s not you. It’s me!” “Jesus. Are you kidding me?” He looks like he’s going to throw me out. I clench my toes, my fingers, my face. Everything. “No!” My face is hotter than a volcanic pit. “Your brother broke off our engagement because I told him something. It was enough for him to risk the alliance and literally flee the city. You shouldn’t have to marry me and then find out.” His eyes flicker, and he just stands there staring at me like he expects me to continue. You don’t just throw stuff like that out there and not explain. I shake ever so slightly, and I feel like I have bees in my stomach. I never talk about what happened. It’s too private, too hideous. But like I said, I can’t marry him without telling him first. I pick at my thumbnail and hope—pray—I don’t die from the shame. “I was fifteen. Just a couple months after Yellowstone erupted. Right when things were getting bad, you know?” He nods curtly. The bees in my stomach morph into hornets, and the glue that holds me together begins to crack. I fold my arms over my chest. “A gang came through our subdivision. They were looking for food, guns, stuff like that. I tried to hide, but they found me.” “They hurt you?” He says this guardedly, like he’s afraid to say the word. I shake harder and I want to run away, but like that day four years ago, there’s no place for me to hide. “There were five of them. They held me down and raped me.” He swears under his breath, and I know what he’s thinking. I’m dirty. “I don’t like to be touched,” I say before he can speak. “I don’t care how hard you try or how gentle…I’m always going to hate it. If you marry me, you’ll be stuck with someone who will never want it. So you and your brothers really need to think. Just how bad do you want this alliance?” “So you’re saying you’re not going to…” Startled, I look up and shake my head. “No, that’s not… I’ll do whatever you want. I wouldn’t cheat some guy out of… It’s just, I’m no bargain.” He’s silent. I can’t tell what he’s thinking, but he’s definitely evaluating the situation. I can practically hear him tick. “That’s why Nico broke our engagement. I told him.” He frowns. “You’re very honest.” What I am is a goddamn human sacrifice. “I’m never going to be happy. That’s just how it is. But other people can be. If this brings peace between the territories, I’ll do it. I’ll do whatever I have to do.” He looks away, and I can see the no in the stretch of his neck. a Rafflecopter giveaway [image error] Amazon US I Amazon UK Amazon US I Amazon UK [image error] Heather Knight doesn’t go for billionaires with helicopters or country club fellas who sip Moscow Mules by the pool.

Interview with Katalina Morris

Today we talk to Katalina Morris, who writes erotica, paranormal romance, and short stories, including her latest, Entering Tempest.

AJ & Storm: "What did you love most about this story?"

Katalina:  The main protagonist is a strong, sarcastic and independent female lead character. A woman on a mission that takes what she wants, my favorite type of character to write about.

AJ & Storm: "What is it you love most about writing?" 

Katalina:  What I love most about writing is the ability to create a new world, any new world that you can completely lose yourself in. If romance less than nil in your personal life, and you have always fantasized about a sexy billionaire werewolf sweeping you off your feet for example, you can create that and live vicariously through the eyes of your characters.

AJ & Storm: "What is it you dislike most about writing?" 

Katalina: Public skepticism. Other than the (incredibly encouraging) peer writers, I have been exposed to so much negativity regarding this career choice. My husband and his family, who has never read a single sentence of mine, were the first to condemn any aspirations stating my 'silly hobby' will never amount to anything. The only dislike of writing, happens to also be my strongest motivation to prove the pessimists wrong! For any fellow writers facing similar negativity, reach out to me and we can cheer for each other!   

AJ & Storm: "Tell us about your editor and proofreader. What’s your top tip for finding someone good?" 

Katalina: Unfortunately I am a beginning writer taking my first steps into the field. I have found a program called 'Grammarly' at approximately $40 / month membership fee and it assists me in self-editing. Once combed through with Microsoft Word spell check and Grammarly editing software, I beg friends or family to proofread and give feedback. For a new aspiring writer, this is a good option on a tight budget.

Currently, I am in the market to hire and build a relationship with beta readers, professional editors and reviewers that can help me improve and grow my brand.
