Final Surrender VBT

Blurb:

Ten years ago, Angela Meyers told everyone she went to New York to find herself. It was a lie. She fled from the aftermath of one hot night with Clay Waters. A night filled with wet heat, all-consuming releases…then his regret.

Now, with a stalker threatening to destroy her career, there’s only one man she trusts to protect her. The man she still loves, hates, needs with every breath she takes.

It’s not that Clay never craved his best friend’s younger sister. With a ticket to boot camp burning a hole in his pocket, he couldn’t allow himself to love her. The moment he lays eyes on her again, the old need—to take down her tightly wound hair, press her long, lean body to his—surges inside him stronger than ever.

But this is no ordinary bodyguard assignment. The best way to identify the voice in Angela’s shadow is to lure it into the light of day. Even if it means convincing her to trust him with her heart…and surrendering his own.

Excerpt:

Clay kept silent and let the new reality of what she was…what they were dealing with sink in. He absentmindedly played with her hair. His fingertips pulled the wet strands slowly to the end. Angela licked her lips nervously, glancing at Clay out of the corner of her eyes.

“Are you trying to distract me?”

“Yes, is it working?” he asked with a playboy smile she didn’t know he still possessed.

“It always works, Clay. Anybody else I can tune out. Everybody else is on the outside, except for you. You’ve always been my Achilles’ heel, but you know that.”

Angela laid her head back against the couch cushions and decided she needed to stop talking. Her insides were already feeling hot and needy, and wanting this man beside her wasn’t going to help her heart or her life stay in one piece. She was brave last night in the near darkness of her bedroom. This morning, not so much.

“I’m nothing special. You could have any man you wanted, and that’s the God’s honest truth.”

He got up and took his cup back to the kitchen and didn’t hear her whisper, “Not every man I want, apparently.”

After he sat back down he asked, “So, want to go out and take a walk, or do you want to stick around here, order in and watch reality TV?”

She lifted her head off the couch with a scoff and said, “You don’t really watch that crap, do you? Every moment you watch is more brain cells you’ll never get back.”

“Please, what do you watch, almighty TV guru?”

“The Big Bang Theory, which is the only sitcom that should be allowed on TV. It is fantastically funny. Always makes me laugh no matter what I have going on. Have you ever seen it?”

“Nope, but if it makes you laugh, with that perma scowl you’ve got going on, then it must be pretty good.”

Clay got hit with a pillow out of the blue and he turned to see Angela hiding a wicked grin behind her hand.

“Oh, if you didn’t have a concussion, it would so be on.”

“Well, see, there’s the silver lining of being blown off those steps. I win a pillow fight with you by default. My day is complete. Oh no, not yet. I haven’t had any chocolate.”

“Chocolate, the way to every woman’s heart.”

“Of course it is.”

“So you want to venture out?” he asked again.

“I don’t know,” she answered softly.

“Scared?”

“Little bit. I feel like I’ve got a big target on my back. I don’t want to hunker down and hide from the world, but maybe today we could keep a low profile. I’ve gotta call Mark and my parents.” She stammered again at the thought of being alone with Clay all day and the rest of her breath left her lungs in a rush as Clay’s knuckles brushed her cheek.

“How about we’ll dress you up.” His voice was soft and seductive. “That way you can feel safe and still get out for a little while.”

He stood and looked down into her wide doe eyes and without thinking, she took his hand and let him pull her to her feet.

He mesmerized her with a simple glance. He was two different people, one when they were alone and another when others were around. But she was too, if she really wanted to admit it. They were more alike than she cared to recognize.

The head injury had left her weak and a bit dazed, but Clay standing in front of her threw her completely off balance. He pulled her into his arms and she rested her cheek on his chest as he stroked her hair.

“We’ll fix this.”

“My stalker or us?” she asked before she could clamp her mouth shut.

“Hopefully both before you get completely sick of me and kick me out, like you’ve been threatening.”

“It’s no threat, Clay,” she said, pulling away from him so she could wander back to her bedroom. “It’s a promise,” she added with a snicker.

“Ah yes, but I know the secret to making you happy now,” he said as he moved to follow her.

“What’s that?”

“Chocolate.”

Jennifer, thanks so much for stopping by. So, why don’t you tell us a little about yourself?

Thanks for having me!!! I write….a lot. A little bit of everything to keep myself entertained while writing and hopefully the readers when they pick up one of my books. I’m also a business owner, and a mom. Love being a mom. I also have the coolest kid ever so I really lucked out!!!


How did you get started writing?

I had a set of three dreams back in 2008. Three nights in a row. A piece of a scene, and then a continuation and then a continuation and then….NOTHING!!! Are you kidding me?!? I was so discombobulated the next day that I HAD to know what happened. So I wrote the dreams down, and then filled in the story. Final Promise was born. (Not published yet!!) So awesome!


What was the inspiration for your book?

The word No actually. A lifetime ago I was sitting in the car with someone I had a crush on. He asked a question and my answer was no. The inspiration for Final Surrender is what I imagined happening to someone in that same situation but if they said Yes.


What’s the one genre you haven’t written in yet that you’d like to?

Paranormal. Fans can get rabid over books but they really tend to latch on when it’s paranormal. Gonna throw my hat in the ring this summer!


Are there any genres you won’t read or write in? Why?

Historical. Can’t stand them. Know there are lots of people that are passionate about them. And they can keep them!


So, what are you working on right now? Have any releases planned, or still writing?

Writing on Violet’s Shadow – my first tow dipping into the Paranormal pond! And coordinating Elite Ghosts, book two in the Elite Warriors Series. And outlining the next book in the Surrender Series – Ultimate Surrender. And writing the next in the Members Only Series – Kneel. Femme Domme. Booyah!!


Alright, now for some totally random, fun questions. Favorite color? – Pink. Makes me happy!

Favorite movie? – 50 First Dates

Alright, you have one superpower. What is it? – Flying. I want to fly so bad.

You can have dinner with any 3 people, dead, alive, fictitious, etc. Who are they? – My two best friends in Buffalo and my son. Best dinner ever.

Last question: Which of your characters are you most like and how/why?

I think I put some of myself in every one of my female characters. Probably because I normally put something that has happened to me in each of my books. Makes each book special when I go back and read them again. I can remember what it came from and what I felt when it was happening, and then when I was writing it from another characters POV. Love that!
