Lust & Bound

So a couple months ago I saw a tweet from  a friend, asking if anyone wanted to take a look at the first couple chapters of her current WIP and help her sort some things out.

Right on. I could do that.

So she emails me and says, the title is Lust & Bound, and I have to warn you, she says, it’s a little bit naughty.

Well duh. Lust & Bound? Didn’t think you were writing about convent politics, dear….although that might be interesting…

And so, with all the grace and style I’ve come to see as her trademark, W. Lynn Chantale is here today to celebrate the release of her newest novel, Lust & Bound. I know from first-hand experience what a good read it is, and am very happy to give y’all a sneak peek. And don’t forget to leave a comment at the end, cuz Lynn’s got a giveaway going on, too.

Here’s Lynn…

Recently I had a conversation with an author friend, chatting about writing and promo. Lately I’ve begun to shun the whole promo/marketing things because it’s gotten to be too much. Some of you are probably going, “but I hardly ever see you”, or some will agree that you see me too much. Either is fine, but I know I hate the necessary evilness of promo.

Anywhoo, she mentioned how I don’t talk about my characters. Books yes, but not the characters.

You coulda heard a pin drop.

She was right. Whenever I’m on a blog or interview, it’s about me. Selfish, right? Or the book I’m pimpin’, but not so much about the characters that I’ve lived and breathed for however long it took to create their story.

What if I told you my heroine, Trisha dislikes romantic movies, is a total girlie-girl and hates pepperoni on her pizza? Since her marriage failed she’s taken the advice of her best friend and embraced the one night stand, even though she’s been ogling a man she thinks is out of reach.

And Zach. I just love Zach. (Ed. note…I kinda love Zach, too. Just sayin’.) He’s got a wicked sense of humor, knows exactly what he wants or in this case who he wants and not afraid to pursue her. Is he aggressive? Sure. Overprotective? Most men are when it comes to the woman they love. Does he care about Trisha’s feelings and opinions? Absolutely.

So take a walk with me, get to know my characters and enjoy their story.

This has got to be the hottest thing I’ve ever put up here on the blog. Love it!

 

Also if you leave a comment you’ve have a chance to win some Lust & Bound swag, which includes a tote bag, magnet, pen and keychain.

Thank you, Liv for hosting me today. It’s been a blast.

 Excerpt

The last thing Zach expected was the incredible night they shared. He’d often dreamed of Trisha’s voluptuous body, but to hear her voice what she wanted from him left him aching.  Since her divorce, she’d always seemed to keep him at a distance. He thought it had something to do with him being a client of hers and not wanting to mix business with pleasure. Or someone else.

The momentary stab of jealousy made him grit his teeth. He did not like the raw emotion crawling through his belly, not when he already thought of her as his. He crossed to the bed and eased onto the mattress. She didn’t stir. A faint smile creased his lips. Just as well, it gave him more time to study her beauty.

He couldn’t believe she’d agreed to his plans. Well, it had taken a bit of coaxing, but all he wanted to do was get her alone. And what better opportunity than dancing. A dance floor provided the perfect opportunity to hold her close, and maybe even get her somewhere secluded where he could seduce her, dive into all those tempting curves, and show her what she’d been missing. And he knew she was missing something. He’d seen the hunger and bridled passion in her eyes. He longed to be the one to release her inhibitions. On some level he wished he’d driven the hour back to his place. But he thought a weekend on neutral territory would’ve given them a reprieve, at least until he found a note shoved under the door. He hadn’t left the room all night, so how had his stalker found him?

You can find Lust & Bound at Evernight Publishing, Amazon, and All Romance.
