    Know the Heroine from Dropping Anchor in Naval Maneuvers by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #miitary #romanceDee S Knight, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about the book.

    Naval Maneuvers by Dee S Knight

    Genre erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Men and women of the armed forces experience desire and love pretty much like everyone else. Except, well, there is that uniform. And the hard-to-resist attraction of “duty, honor, service” as a man might apply them to a woman’s pleasure. All things considered, romance among the military is a pretty sexy, compelling force for which you’d better be armed, whether weighing anchor and moving forward into desire, dropping anchor and staying put for passion, or setting a course for renewed love with anchor home.
    Know the Heroine from Dropping Anchor in Naval Maneuvers
    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
    Plays MENSA games on her phone. The girl is gorgeous, but she’s no dummy.
    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
    Carie isn’t much of a junk food girl. She’d pick up an apple and skip the chocolate.
    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
    A uniform when working—she’s a JAG officer—and loose fitting casual clothes when she’s relaxing. Of course, nothing is best when she’s with her sweetie, Todd Baxter.
    Does she know how to fix things?
    She knows how to fix coffee, and she knows how to make reservations. Anything else, she hopes she marries well.
    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
    She tried to surprise Todd by dropping in on him without notice. She was the one surprised, and not in a happy way.
    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
    Carie is not a child person. She keeps her distance when around children she doesn’t know. But since falling in love with Todd, she can finally see children in her future.
    What is she like first thing in the morning?
    So ready for action if Todd wakes her up. Otherwise, she’s one of those people who annoyingly wakes up with a sunny attitude and keeps it all day. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t turn into a shark when she’s handling a trial. The only thing she likes better than being with Todd is winning her cases.
    Can she use chopsticks?
    She can but wonders why she should. It was fun when she was going out with college pals, but now, what’s the point? Food takes just as good using a fork.
    Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
    Coffee? You mean life’s blood? Yes!! She drinks it often and she drinks it Navy strong!
    What apps would she have on her phone?
    The aforementioned MENSA games, Kindle, the Weather app, Google and Google maps, and email so she can stay in touch with the office. Carie prefers to interact with people rather than her phone, so she really only uses it when she has to or there is absolutely nothing else to do.
    Android or iPhone?
    iPhone
    Earrings or unpierced ears?
    Earrings, even though while in uniform they have to be posts and demure.
    Tattoos or unadorned skin?
    She has an intriguing tattoo of a dragon on her lower back, the result of a game she played in college. Todd is especially interested in finding out about her dragon.
    Personal vehicle or public transport?
    She doesn’t mind public transportation but usually her job requires her to be flexible in getting around so she drives herself.
    Recycle or toss?
    Definitely recycle. She’s responsible and civic-minded.
    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

The only thing distracting her from her mission is Luther Henderson, her boss’s new head of security.
    Luther is also living a lie. One, if discovered, could lead to a fate worse than death. He’s attracted to Victoria, but can’t fully trust her, doesn’t know if she’s truly innocent or a true member of the Knights. It’s not only his life at stake, but those of the people he loves.

    As they’re thrust deeper into the dangerous dealings of the Knights, they each have to share their secrets in order to survive.

    Introducing Luther Henderson

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. I’d like to get to know you better. Please tell me about yourself.
    Age: I’m older than I look
    Gender: male
    Birthplace: Alaska
    Profession: Security Expert
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): I’m a drakon
    Please provide a physical description of yourself.
    In my human form, I’m 6’6″ with short blond hair and blue eyes. I have a tattoo that covers the entire left side of my body from my neck to my ankles. It’s a birthmark and is a swirling pattern that is silver and outlined in the same blue as my eyes.
    Tell us about yourself, please.
    I’m currently employed as the head of security for a member of the Knights of the Dragon. Their sole purpose is to capture and control dragons (that’s what they call drakons) for the healing power that exists in their blood. My purpose is to infiltrate their organization.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    *leans forward aggressively* Why do you want to know about my Victoria?
    How do you dress?
    I much prefer jeans and T-shirts, but I’ve worn custom tailored suits for the past few years. Most of the mercenaries who work for my employer wear black combat-style clothing. Over the years, I’ve learned that when I wear a suit, it puts people at ease. They tend to underestimate me, forget I’m dangerous. Which works all the better for me.
    Are you book-smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?
    All the above. I’ve always learned whatever I’ve needed to, plus I’ve had a lot of experience in different situations.
    Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    I’ve worked hard and made my fair share of money. Money gives you power and freedom, things I value. I don’t mind working hard to get what I want. Makes it all the sweeter.
    Can you keep a secret? Why or why not?
    Can I keep a secret? Baby, my entire life is about keeping secrets. The things I know… Well, if I told you, I’d have to kill you.
    What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?
    I try not to have doubts. I prefer to stay focused on my goals, believing I can achieve them. *shakes head* If I’d allowed doubt to creep in, I’m not sure I would have survived, might have given into despair years ago.
    What is your biggest need?
    To have everyone I love safe. And make no mistake, I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen. If the world has to burn… *shrugs* Then it burns.

    She never thought my religious background was important, but it is the only thing that makes me regret my life’s choices.

    When your writer is writing about you, what do you think makes your writer the most happy?

    That despite the circumstances, I am happy. Little goes right for me but that doesn’t keep me from loving life.

    What do you wish your writer would write next?

    The sequel. Continue my adventure.

    Is there anything you’d like to say to your writer?

    You honor me by in telling my amazing journey. Muy gracias de me corazón. (Thank you very much from my heart.)

    This story will be released Sept 17, 2018

    He can save mankind. After he does one important thing. Die.
    Join the Ghost Corps, they said. You’ll live forever, they said. You’ll save mankind, they said. They didn’t say that to do it, first he had to die.
    When Tornahdo signs on the dotted line, he puts his life into the steady hands of the mighty Ghost Corps. Three grisly deaths and three agonizing resurrections later, he’s assigned duty on the space station Enderium Six.
    He’s facing his most dangerous mission yet, the very reason the corps exists.
    Do they expect him to win? Fat chance. Tornahdo and his team are already dead and this mission is codenamed “Lights Out.” No, there’s more to this than he can see.
    To discover the truth, he must face an unbeatable, unkillable enemy, and this time–somehow–find a way to keep himself alive…
    Lights Out is in the Science Fiction/Space Opera anthology The Expanding Universe Vol 4, edited by Craig Martelle.

Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about the book.

    Apathy and Vigor by Faye Hall

    Genre Australian Historical romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Will the love of a woman save him from his own apathy?
    Tristen Brone lived a carefree life of wealth and passion – until one day it all came crashing down around him. In only a few days he lost everyone he loved in the world – his woman, his best friend and his parents. The once confident, handsome young man, was now scarred for life and on a quick downward spiral of sorrow and depression. He no longer wanted to live.
    When Amalie Fergus arrives on his doorstep, a travel bag in her hand, begging him to take her in, he becomes suspicious. Despite his passionate past with this woman, and the feelings he still had for her, all he could think of was how quickly she abandoned him after the fire that killed her brother and left Tristen physically scarred. So why had she come back into his life after all these months?
    Amalie Fergus lost her brother in a fire, her lover had abandoned her upon finding her with child, and now her father had been poisoned, leaving their properties to be repossessed. She had nothing and no one left to turn to. In desperation, she found herself forced to work for a living, trying to do her best as a maid for any rich gentleman who would take her in. What she hadn’t expected was for one of those men to try and force carnal favours from her, or for her now to be on the run for his murder.
    Running from the scene of the crime, fearful what was to become of her, Amalie finds herself colliding with a man from her past who offers to hide her from the police on one condition – she return to Tristen and steal some property papers from him.
    Trapped by the man from her past, and now forced back into Tristen’s life, Amalie searches for who murdered her brother. She could never have foreseen the cruelty she would discover, or the man she would willingly surrender her heart to.

    Tristen would be looking over information he’d been given about his best friends murder as well as studying property papers for estates he’s interested in buying.
    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
    He’s a very simple man with servants to cook for him. Tristen would be content with steak and potatoes.

    You will never see Tristen in a suit, despite his wealthy upbringing. He wears denium jeans and cotton work shirts.
    Does he know how to fix things?

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
    Tristen tried to save his best friend from a fire, but failed. He blamed himself and ended up dependent on alcohol and heroin.
    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
    After the fire that left him scarred, he becomes a hermit and avaoids people, so he wouldn’t come across any children.
    What is he like first thing in the morning?
    Usually Tristen would be out on the cattle station inspecting fences and feed stocks.
    How does he handle things when in a “proper” social situation?
    Tristen was raised very well, and was very good at social flattery. Some would even describe him as quite a charmer.
    Valet or takes care of himself?
    He takes care of himself.
    Necktie/cravat or open shirt?
    Open shirt – he’s not big on formal attire.

    Powdered wig or natural hair?
    Tristen has natural black, collar length hair.
    Carriage or horseback?

    Aidan would go to his studio and work on some custom piece. He doesn’t care much for those, they don’t ‘speak’ to him, but he loves the act of sculpting and there’s always some deadline he wants to meet.
    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
    Boston Cream Doughnuts, a box of six, that he would wolf up in one go and drawn down with Irish Black tea. He swears the Irish tea tastes different than regular Breakfast tea. I tried both, and I think the difference is in his head but please, don’t tell him I said that much. We fought enough on the matter and frankly, I don’t care.
    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
    Jeans and T-shirt, the state of which goes from normal (for day-to-day life) to things so old and worn out they are slightly better than old rags (when he works).
    Does he know how to fix things?
    Yes. Now, whether or not he does fix them, it’s a different matter. If he likes it (truck, fishing gears, everything related to his work) sure, he’s on it. Boring stuff like a leaking faucet or a broken garbage disposal? Forget it. He’ll pay someone to do it.
    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
    He’s great with kids, a fact that had left everyone, Aidan included, surprised. He’d play with the kid, entertain him or her.
    What is he like first thing in the morning?
    Aidan doesn’t do many mornings, he’s not one for routine. He’d sleep when tired, get up when he’s done. Now, with Summer and Chloe, he’s a little more civilized and follows the girl’s rhythms (unless he’s working on a piece). He’s… normal. Not really grumpy or anything. Well, not grumpiER than usual.
    Can he use chopsticks?
    Yes.
    Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
    He does, black, but black tea is more his thing.
    Beard or clean-shaven?
    Five-o-clock shadow going on unshaved, which is different than having a beard. He simply shaves when he wants to.
    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
    A tattoo over his heart, an Irish cross.
    Personal vehicle or public transport?
    Personal vehicle.
    Recycle or toss?
    Toss.
