I am very pleased and very excited to welcome the super wonderful, and awesome, Kacey Hammell here today for her newest release WILD THUNDER and a giveaway!

Pushed to the Edge…

Authors are lucky…kind of. No really, we are lucky. We get to listen to voices in our heads without being institutionalized and maybe even get paid nicely for the creations we share.

That being said, it isn’t easy to refuse the voices that are sometimes relentless. The characters we live with become part of our existence and friends who are constantly there for us.

Such was the case with Ethan James.  Readers originally met him in Illusions, then again in Awakenings, and after events in both books, the man was literally boiling over with rage, angst and wanting to break something. And so began his ruthless nattering in my ear, demanding time on his own.

Then WILD THUNDER was born.  Ethan pushed me to MY limits with his constant orders, fighting me a bit on how the story would go, and is even more pissed off with me now that his short story has ended with a “What the Hell”!  Well, if he wasn’t such a pain in the tush, he might have received his HEA right away. Plus, the heroine, Shanay, wasn’t so willing to let him off the hook either.

Sometimes when an author is pushed the edge, she pushes back. LOL

On leave of absence from the police force, and desperate to resolve the intense anger inside him, Ethan James escapes to the Shenandoah Mountains…alone.

During one of the worst storms to hit the area in years, he’s surprised when he opens the door to find Shanay Gold, an old friend and sometime submissive lover, dripping wet and looking sexy as hell. So sexy, he has to keep reminding himself he’s kept her at arms-length because of the future she wants. A future he can’t give her.

When lightning sparks an old flame, desires blaze to life, and Shanay and Ethan are left with little choice but to roll with passion’s Wild Thunder.

Excerpt:

The woman on his doorstep drooped, head down, pink sweater and jeans dripping rivulets of water on the welcome mat. Her hood hid her face.

“Oh, thank goodness someone’s here. Can I come in?”

Who left a woman to fend for herself on such a night?

Ethan grabbed her arm and pulled her inside. “You must be freezing.”

Grabbing for the thick red fleece blanket on the back of the sofa, he froze, shocked as she threw the hood back to reveal her long brown hair, perfect to wrap around his wrist as he fucked her.

No, it couldn’t be…. My eyes are playing tricks on me.

But when she gathered her dark hair back in both hands, he swallowed hard.

“Shanay? What the hell.”

She gasped. “Oh my— Ethan! Of all the doors to knock on, I’m glad I found you. In the dark, I wasn’t sure if I had the right place.”

He watched, dazed, as she pulled off her shoes and kicked them across the floor toward the fire.

Shanay Gold…the very last person he expected to see. He’d tried to avoid her during the last couple of times he’d been home to see his parents. A coward’s way of things, but after their last time together, he’d resolved not to repeat the mistake again.

She wanted things in life that he did not. Kids, home, and garden, savings plans and forever-after. She didn’t deserve a man who bedded her and left before morning. Though he’d wanted a relationship with Isabella, he hadn’t been hurrying into anything long-term. Of course, that was before everyone he knew paired up…and seemed so happy.

Besides, Shanay was a family friend. If things didn’t work out with her, he’d never hear the end of it from his mother. He’d never be able to look her father in the eye again. It had already proven difficult, and no one knew about them. It would be hell if their parents found out.

“Hang on a sec, would you? I want to get out of these clothes before I wrap the blanket around me.”

Shanay’s words registered. His body jerked as she pulled off the sweatshirt, revealing a lime green bra underneath. His heart raced, seeing her luscious tits encased by the lace. He coughed to clear his dry throat. “There is a bathroom just down the hall.”

Her laughter surprised him. He didn’t see anything humorous.

“As if you haven’t seen it all before. Don’t be such a prude. Besides, I don’t want to track water all over, and it’s warmer here.”

He watched—helpless and eager—as she yanked open the buttons on her jeans, and dragged the denim down her hips.

He appreciated her slim and sexy body as she straightened. The bright green bra and matching panties highlighted all her best assets. Gorgeous.

“If you’re shy, you better turn around now,” she stated, laughter in her voice, hands at her waist, ready to shed the bits of lace left covering her.

Ethan held her stare. Yes, he had seen it all before, but if she wanted to play with fire, she might very well get burned.
