Two unbelievably
gorgeous gryphon shifters, one Ellie… You do the math.
Dr Eleanor Maxwell has spent her career working in shifter
integration, so when a new shifter-human initiative is launched, she naturally
agrees to lead it. But that’s before she knows it involves bringing Gerri
Wilder to the UK to make matches between prominent shifters and humans…
Before Ellie can protest, she’s matched with not one but two
devastatingly handsome and powerful beasts—identical twin gryphons Ludo and
Jago Calter.
The aristocratic brothers don’t give a damn about serving
their country by leading the way in this new initiative: they know Ellie’s
their mate and they’re determined to claim her. They’ll start with this date,
this match, whatever, sure, but after that, all bets are off.
Ellie is from a very different world to the wealthy,
overwhelming twins—heck, she’s from a different species—and while she’s
determined not to let them have their way in everything, she’s powerless to
stop them having her…
Q&A Time
1.
Did you plot this book out or write wherever
an idea took you?
I had the basic idea of a rather
buttoned-up researcher meeting gorgeous, somewhat louche, upper-class twin
gryphons (who doesn’t?!) and some ideas for scenes, but I’m sooo a plotter! For this book I stuck to
Jami Gold’s romance planning beat sheet - Lost Your Pants? The Impatient
Writer's Guide to Plotting a Story by Jami Gold -- http://jamigold.com
2.
What was your hardest scene to write in this
book?
The black moment and what the heroes have
to do to get the heroine back. I can write characters getting swept along by
the tide of events, stopping for hot sex every so often (as one does), but find
writing angst and sacrifice tougher.
3.
Did you hide any secrets or Easter Eggs?
No, but that’s intriguing!
4.
Do you believe a book cover plays an
important role in the selling process?
Yes. For sure. Kelly Ann Martin of KAM
Designs made me this gorgeous cover that a lot of people have remarked upon. It
started the branding for this series.
5.
Any advice you would like to give to your
younger self?
Don’t get so hung up and uptight about stuff.
Mellow out. Life advice and writing advice, I guess!
EXCERPT
Jago trapped Ellie’s horrified face in his hands, a smirk on
his gorgeous face. “You do like making men feel inadequate, love. Good job
we’re not mere men and can match up to anything you have in mind. Or wherever
else you’d…like it.” He slid a gentle hand into the tuck of her towel and
pulled, unwrapping her, leaving her nude. “Beautiful.”
“Jago.” Ludo’s voice came as a reproach. “Ellie’s bone-tired
and not in a state to—”
“Be pampered? Cosseted? Massaged?” His voice stroked her
skin. “That bag there.” He lifted his chin for his brother to take out the
contents of one of the gift bags. “Would you like that? Like us to get to know
you, understand your body, learn what brings you pleasure?”
Her breath catching in her throat, her breasts heavy and her
nipples crinkling into tight points, Ellie could only nod. Jago indicated the
bed, and Ellie lay down, turning onto her front at his signal. He came to kneel
between her spread legs.
“Wait.” Wide-eyed, Ellie watched Jago approach, a plastic
bottle of oil in his hands. She’d never behaved like this before in her life.
“Are you…are you doing this to me with your voice?”
“You mean do gryphons have the power of hypnosis over
beautiful women?” Jago’s chuckle was rich and sexy. “I wish.”
“Yeah.” Ludo sighed. “Adolescence would’ve been a hell of a
lot easier.”
