What the Heiress Wants 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? – What the Heiress Wants is the second book in my Billionaire Cowboys trilogy. I love writing cowboys, but I wanted to get away from the typical rodeo or working-ranch cowboy hero. Gage (book 1), Connor (book 2) and Jase (book 3) are still very much cowboys – but they wear suits and wingtips as often as they wear boots and Levis. To match up with them, I knew I needed three strong heroines, and Cassie, Miranda and Sabrina are definitely strong!What is your favorite genre to read? – Contemporary romances hold a special place in my heart because they were the first books that I picked up as a young (tween) reader, but I won’t turn down a great historical or paranormal or futuristic…anything goes – as long as it includes a happily ever after.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)? – There are so many! My daughter and I have been on a bit of a Princess Bride kick lately, so I’m going to go with Inigo, the Spanish swordsman. He’s a bit dangerous, he’s very strong, and he dedicates himself to his mission. I can get behind a man like that!What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months? – The third book in the Billionaire Cowboys trilogy, What the Gambler Risks, will be coming out in September, so I’m finishing that up now. And I’m just starting a brand new series, set in a small town in Missouri, that I can’t wait to share more about!Please tell us about your latest book.The Billionaire Cowboys trilogy by best-selling author Kristina Knight continues with What the Heiress Wants.Denver publishing heiress Miranda Clayton craves more from life than society parties and shopping sprees, but her tycoon father refuses to take her seriously. Her solution? Beat him at his own game by going to work for his top competitor, Connor Reeves, in Las Vegas.Connor isn’t fooled by Miranda’s new plan for a second. He knows exactly who she is; what he doesn’t know is why she’s pulling him into her games. After their first meeting, Connor knows what he wants – Miranda in his bed! But the more he’s around his new vice president, the more he wants something deeper than a short-term fling. The question is does the lady want Connor – or his business?Sensuality Level: SensualTitle What the Heiress WantsGenre ContemporaryAuthor Kristina KnightBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RBuy This Book

Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.Name: Dane CarlsonAge: 33Gender: MaleBirthplace: I was born in Binghampton, New York, but I came to Canyon Junction, Arizona as a teen.Profession: A soldier for fourteen years. I’m a horse rancher on the family ranch now. We all have our own property on the Double Dutch.Describe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars.Let’s see now… I’m 6’1” with my boots on. My hair is blond, kind of short but longer on top. I’m letting it grow. I’m about 190 pounds of brain and brawn. You’ll find some scars on my body, and maybe a tattoo. Ladies try to stick their finger in my dimples, so yeah, I guess I have them.Who is the significant other in your life?That’d be the hottie, Gracelyn Clark.Please tell us a little about yourself.I’m the youngest of three boys. Basically, I’m a horse rancher, but in my mind I’m still an Army Ranger. I’m adapting. Family is important to me. I don’t like to play games, and I won’t take bull from anyone. I’m sort of a patient kind of guy. Sort of…How do you dress?At home I wear a t-shirt, jeans, my cowboy hat and boots, and sometimes a flannel shirt. I wear a leather jacket and motorcycle boots when I ride my bike. When I go out, I wear a button-up shirt or a Henley with “good” jeans or a nicer pair of pants depending on where I’m going. I’ll wear a suit or a tux if I have to. I wore an Army White Mess uniform to a recent family wedding. Yep, it was a great choice not to mention a big surprise.

Plus, my dad taught me what I need for ranching, whether I wanted to learn it or not. I admit, Dad was right.What is your family like?Close-knit. We’d die for one another if we had to. My brothers razz the hell out of me, though. My dad passed away more than ten years ago. Mom helps out with the ranch. She deserves the credit for it all.How well do you know your neighbors?My direct neighbors are my brothers. Canyon Junction is a small town. I know most of the townspeople better than I should. People talk, you know. I hear things I’d rather not know.Do you care about what others assume about you?It depends. If it involves my reputation, yeah I care, and I don’t take it lightly if someone wants to put a blemish on my reputation. Other than that, no, I could care less. I know who I am.How do you handle challenges?Head on, baby!Who in your life has the power to hurt you the most and why?Mostly, it’s someone in Gracelyn’s life. Why? This person is a threat to her happiness, which then becomes a threat to mine, and I take it personal.What would you like to tell your writer?Hey, great! First off, I wouldn’t mind having another book. Hey, you with the laptop… I have more to tell. Come on, girl, y’all know I do. And, you know how much I loved being an Army Ranger? What’s up with that? I know what you’re going to say…everything turned out for the best. Oh, and…um, thanks. You know why. *Wink*Buy This Book
