Q & A
1.
Did you plot this book out or write wherever an
idea took you?
I tend to always start by just writing. As
the story starts to take form, I tend to plot out each chapter. However, more
times than not I travel completely off the plot as new ideas spring to mind.
2.
What was your hardest scene to write in this
book?
The surf scenes were no doubt the hardest to
write. To understand the lingo and be able to use it in the story was a
challenge. Also, just the overall art of the sport was all so new to me.
Meeting with and learning from surfers definitely made it a little easier,
though!
3.
Any advice you would like to give to your
younger self?
I would tell my younger self to be more
patient. I’ve found that things happen at their own pace and always when
they’re supposed to happen. This novel’s book life began four years ago, and I
wish I could’ve been more patient and less crazed. I have no doubt that I’ll be
tapping into that patience in the future!
EXCERPT
I start to graze my
hands over his arms, tracing his tattoo of a rose within a cracked heart with
my fingers. My need for him is screaming over my rational side, which tells me
to slow it down. But I want every part of his body over and over again, and if
I don’t get it, I might just explode. I have to let Cole know there is nothing
more I crave right now than our bodies intertwined together as we discover what
can make us moan and the places that will cause us to scream.
“Did I ever tell you
how sexy you are, Mr. Stevens?” I whisper into Cole’s ear.
Either Cole is stunned by my forwardness or planning
a way to get me on my back like he promised before, his stroking hands freeze
on my waist. His comforting gaze transforms into a hunger that needs to be fed.
I watch as a seductive smirk appears on his face. In a husky voice, he warns,
“I think I already told you what I’d do to you if you called me that again?”
“Hmm… I think I might remember
that. Maybe I’m just waiting for you to follow through.” I hold his gaze and
plant a soft kiss on his lips.
He tilts his head and
cocks his eyebrow, suggesting that he is going to take my challenge. Sweeping
my legs out from under me, Cole floats me over to the oversized lounge chair
and gently places me down on my back. He slowly crawls up and kisses each part
of me until he reaches my lips.
While he teases every
inch of my body, my hands are weaving
through his hair, feeling the short silky strands beneath my fingers. Every
time his lips touch my skin, I tug at his hair and a moan would rise in his
throat.
I pull his mouth to
mine and savor the taste of him. My hands leave his hair and run down the lines
of his carved chest, tracing around his nipples. Feeling the hairs rise from
his skin, I travel further south over the ridges of his stomach muscles and
then slowly slide my hands under the waistband of his shorts. I let them teeter
there and tease him to arousal.
“God, Cam, you’re
gonna kill me.” He runs his tongue down my neck and over the exposed part of my
stomach, cupping his hand over my core. He murmurs in between contact. “I.
Need. This. Right. Now.”
With a sigh, I beg,
“Please, Cole … take it … take me.”
