Discovered by Victor Cameron, she agrees to search for her art his way even though she’ll live in his house, yearn for his touch, pine for his kisses….Five years ago, Victor had to give up Sophia. Now he vows to keep her near him and to protect her from men who would destroy her. He’ll help her find her precious art even if he risks the chance she’ll steal his heart away…again.Stressing The HeroineEvery heroine has a story. She has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a heroine and get to know her better, by focusing on how she handles being relaxed, or how she handles stress.The Heroine’s Relaxed SideThis heroine is at a party. Considering her story, describe the party.Once Sophia was a spy working with a network of Italian patriots who wanted their country rid of the tyrant Napoleon Bonaparte. At a party years later in England, she understands exactly why each person has decided to attend. She understands their body language, what they say without words. She knows who is there to snare whom in their trap. She zeroes in on who she herself wants to engage…or lure…or trap. And why.How does the heroine feel about being this particular party, and what body language is she displaying that gives it away?Sophia goes to a masquerade ball, attired in a seductive costume resembling a Greek goddess. Although she’s not interested in conquering any man, she’s devoted to her own purpose, her own goal. She’s quick to assess who’s there, her eyes darting about the crowd, noting those who may have clues to the treasure she really seeks. She quick, silent, intent upon finding only one item.Is she more likely to mingle or remain aloof?To appear as if she has truly been invited, she knows she’ll have to speak to a few ladies and gentlemen. After all, because she wears a masque, no one will really know her identity nor learn it. But accomplishing her goal will mean she must remain aloof, gay but blithely unattached to anyone.If she drinks, what is her drink of choice at this party?While she adores a good red vino like those from her native Tuscany, she sips a bit of champagne. She’s careful, you see, to keep her mind as clear as her purpose.How much drink is her usual?Ah, but it is true that Sophia can drink many a man under the table. She’s done it often. To great success. In fact, during the wars, she learned many an elusive fact about Napoleon’s troop movements from his inebriated officers.The heroine figures out where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?She snatches the right moment to disappear and search the mansion for the treasures she seeks. Off to the lord of the manor’s library and study, she quickly discovers precisely what she suspected he’d hidden. The very piece she seeks. She sighs, claps her hands, delighted at finding her prize.But another man has followed her. Entered the room. Sneering at her, he has nothing good on his mind. In fact, she remembers him well, the cad. And when he advances on her and threatens her, she’s surprised but ready to defend herself. And then…Is she likely to latch onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is she the friend that others latch onto?She is shocked when another man emerges from the shadows. This time, it is the very man she has wished to ignore. The one man who has always made her heart pound and her girlish hopes of love and peace and family revive.But she has consistently learned for more than five long years, that such redemption is not in the cards for her. Not now. Not ever. Not even if Victor helps her escape this other terrible man. Not even if Victor is the only man she’s ever hoped to see again.If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the heroine going to handle it?As Victor Cameron comes forward to threaten her nemesis, she takes comfort in his actions but knows she will have to escape him, too.Is the heroine the one most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?And so, before any more people enter the library, before anyone attempts to throw her out because after all, she is uninvited, she tries to escapes Victor too. Without her prize, the very item she sought.But Victor who has searched London for her for so many weeks refuses to let her go. She’ll come home with him, he declares. There he will protect her and even save her from herself. And after he hears her explanation of what she really seeks, he declares he will help her.His way.Buy This BookAmazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01COO8MM2ARe   https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-masqueradewithamarquess-1996734-160.htmlBarnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/masquerade-with-a-marquess-cerise-deland/1123498199Kobo https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/masquerade-with-a-marquessiBooks  https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/masquerade-wwith-a-marquess/id1091949971?ls=1&mt=11Author Social MediaWebsite http://cerisedeland.comBlog   http://cerisedeland.blogspot.comPinterest https://www.pinterest.com/frenchcherryred/Amazon Author Page http://www.amazon.com/Cerise-DeLand/e/B0089DS2N2/ -
Protecting the Quarterback a new #contemporary by @AuthorKristina #RLFblog
This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.About the Author
Once upon a time, Kristina Knight spent her days running from car crash to fire to meetings with local police–no, she wasn’t a troublemaker, she was a journalist. Her career took her all over the United States, writing about everything from a serial killer’s capture to the National Finals Rodeo. Along the way, she found her very own Knight in Shining Cowboy Boots and an abiding love for romance novels. And just like the characters from her favorite books, she’s living her own happily ever after.Kristina writes sassy contemporary romance novels; her books have appeared on Kindle Best Seller Lists. She loves hearing from readers, so drop her a line!Interview with Kristina Knight
Why did you write this book?I’m a huge sports fan – baseball, football, the Olympics…you name it. Football, though, is my favorite. I like the action, I like the teamwork, and I like how graceful it all is – the defense, the offense, the give and the take. I wanted to write about two people who approach the game completely differently, and Jonas and Brooks took it from there.What is your favorite genre to read?I’m a contemporary girl, all the way! I do read across all genres, in non-fiction and even craft books, but contemporaries always call me back.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?Gosh, there are so many. Right now, I’ll go with Jo March – because she was a bit of a rebel in all the best ways!What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’ve just turned in the galley for What the Heiress Wants, the second book in my Billionaire Cowboys trilogy. I’ll start writing book 3 in another couple of weeks. I’m in the middle of drafting my next Harlequin Superromance, it will be the first book in an amazing news series that I’m so excited about!!Please tell us about your latest book.This is more than just a game…to herSports broadcaster Brooks Smith has always been more involved with the game than the players. But after she shares the spotlight at an awards ceremony with tabloid sensation Jonas Nash, one night of letting her guard down around the infamous quarterback spirals into many heated days and nights together when she gets assigned to the story of the year.The hottest player in professional football is hiding a secret that could end his career for good. Now Brooks is caught on the sidelines between the job she loves and the man she is falling in love with.About the Book
