Liza O'Connor share a bit about her latest hero - Steel - from Unexpected Love #romance #suspense

Liza Shares a bit about her character Steel:Why do helicopters scare Steel?As an Archeologist, Steel took a group of college students to the Middle East to evaluate what might be Egyptian farmlands from early civilizations. Unfortunately, the war zone shifted and they were advised leave. As they waited for the helicopter, Steel says he advised the students to seek shelter in an abandoned house. Instead, the two female students waited in the car. When a helicopter arrived, everyone thought it was there to pick them up…until it began shooting at the car. Next thing they knew — the car blew up. Steel got hurt by a shot in the chest. Fortunately, he had a bullet proof vest on. The driver pulled him behind a stone fence and buried him in the sand. The other students ran to the house and the hills. Some were wounded physically, but all were wounded mentally.To this day, Steel breaks out in cold sweat whenever he hears a helicopter. While he intellectually knows that a helicopter in Iowa is not going to shoot him, his body still recalls the horror of that day.

Unexpected Love By Liza O’ConnorContemporary Suspense/Sweet Romance
BlurbTess Campbell is a mafia princess who wants nothing to do with her dangerous family. She’d rather spend her life making Grams's forest the best state park in Iowa.  Alistair Castile, aka Steel, is a British prince, his archeological career in ruins due to his promiscuous nature. He’s hired on as forest manager of Tess’s woods and quickly falls in love with the charming young woman, so different from the socialites of his world. Only there are several serious barriers between them: Steel’s career cannot withstand another scandal and Tess’s father will kill anyone who gets in the way of his daughter marrying a Chicago mobster.
Excerpt for Unexpected LoveHelen placed a long slab of salmon on her grill. “Well, thank God you took the time to create a sign. Otherwise, Steel might still be in the airport waiting for you.”“True,” Tess agreed. “I tried to Google a picture of him, but the only one I found showed a bunch of people wearing army gear with peace signs painted on their jackets.”Her words caused his heart to race and sweat to bead on his forehead and lip. Seconds after that picture had been taken, a helicopter had approached. He’d thought it was their ride out…but it wasn’t. The events of the day were seared into his memories. Their guide and translator had yelled at them to run, but until the dust inexplicably kicked up around them and the car made odd thunking noises, he hadn’t understood what was happening.Once he grasped the copter was shooting at them, he had ordered everyone to scatter. Some did, but two jumped into the car. A bullet hit him in the chest and knocked him down. The translator pulled him behind a wall and buried him in sand. Later, when the thumping faded, Steel found the translator dead beside him. The two students who had jumped in the car had been burned alive when a bullet ignited the gas tank. The two who made it to the house were injured, but not fatally, the three that reached the hills were unharmed, unless mental health counted, in which case, they returned home wounded as well.A hand touched his forehead. “Dr. Castile, are you sick?”He gripped the hand and pulled it from his forehead. Tess’s dark, worried eyes flickered about, as she tried to discover what was wrong.“Sorry…not a good memory,” he whispered.

I have decided to pull back a bit on blogging for the summer. Canadian summers are short and I don't want to spend lots of it inside prepping blogs. If you see an available date and you'd like to promo a new release or a backlist or an up-and-coming book, leave your email addy in the comments and I'll get back to you ASAP.
