#MFRW author Kryssie Fortune reveals all about Submission, Secrets, and the Soldier on #Thursday13.
#MFRW author Kryssie Fortune writes the sort of hot sexy books she loves to read. Her paranormal heroes are muscular werewolves, arrogant Fae or BDSM loving dragons.
Kryssie likes her contemporary heroes ex-military and dominant. Her heroines are kick ass females who can hold their own against whatever life - or Kryssie - throws at them.
Kryssie's pet hates are unhappy or cliff hanger endings.
Her books are all stand alone even when part of series. Plot always comes before sex, but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and explicit. One review called it downright sensual.
Submission, Secrets, and the Soldier
Genre: Contemporary erotic
Publisher: Loose id
Luke Roberts, a former army mechanic, has a new sub. She's shy and inexperienced, but willing. As he teaches her about sensation play, she fears he'll really hurt her and screams her safewords at him. Her reaction causes Luke to have a flashback. Although he's clawing his way back to normal, he suffers from PTSD. Determined to get well, he contacts a PTSD specialist in Westhorpe Ridge.
Kathryn Johnson has visited a BDSM club three times. When she hooks up with Luke Roberts, he unintentionally terrifies her. She swears off spankings and goes home to Westhorpe Ridge. The last person she expects to see there is Luke Roberts.
Circumstances force them to share an apartment. Can Luke protect her when danger threatens? Or is she just a temporary sub in residence?
13 Sentences about Luke Roberts from Submission, Secrets, and the Soldier.
1. “I just blew my last shot at normal.”
2. Luke darted frenzied glances around the room, but he saw an Afghan hut, not a BDSM dungeon.
3. As a former army doctor, Montgomery might know more about PTSD than the never-set-foot-in-a-war-zone shrinks with their sympathetic stares and patronizing voices.
4. He hadn’t felt this at ease with himself since the army decided they couldn’t use a broken soldier like him.
5. In military speak, this woman was PFA—pretty freaking awesome—and he’d do whatever it took to make her proud.
6. His grin came out lopsided as the scars to the left of his lips made his cheek pucker. “Deal.”
7. He’s afraid my scarred face will drive customers away.
8. Luke rubbed his hand over his scarred cheek, barely able to believe the way Kathryn sprang to his defense.
9. Back then, he’d felt like he lived in a deep freeze, but Kathryn’s smile sparkled like sunshine on melting ice.
10. We’ll start building that support network, and since Jared and Sean are ex-military, no one will judge you for the odd flashback or two
11. Finally, he decided that for Kathryn, he’d throw himself into any therapy Dr. Adam Montgomery suggested.
12. For the first time in months, he had hope.
13. I swear I’ll protect you, sweetheart, but you still need to phone the sheriff.”

#MFRWauthor Alina K. Field brings The Bastard's Iberian Bride on #Thursday13
Award winning #MFRWauthor Alina K. Field earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and German literature, but her true passion is the much happier world of romance fiction. Though her roots are in the Midwestern U.S., after six very, very, very cold years in Chicago, she moved to Southern California and hasn’t looked back. She shares a midcentury home with her husband, her spunky, blonde, rescued terrier, and the blue-eyed cat who conned his way in for dinner one day and decided the food was too good to leave.
The Bastard's Iberian Bride
Genre - Historical
Blurb
Daughter of spies
For a chance at true freedom, Paulette Heardwyn needs the fortune left her by her inscrutable father. But she doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to find it, and the only man with answers, the Earl of Shaldon, takes his secrets to the grave. Worse, the dead earl tries to force her marriage to his bastard son—and leaves her prey to a traitor seeking the same treasure she’s after.
Soldier, Steward, Bastard
Bink Gibson is ready to throw off his quiet life as steward to his old commander and head for India and the chance of prosperity. But before he can leave he’s summoned to the deathbed of the Earl of Shaldon, a meddling spymaster, a complete stranger…and his father.
And the Earl has set a trap Bink will never be able to resist.

13 sentences from The Bastard's Iberian Bride:
1. The warmth in his voice promised nothing but trouble, and the last thing she needed was a meddling man poking around in her business.
2. His head filled with memories, his thoughts sailing out of the closed stuffy room into a shepherd's hut.
3. He watched her glide out, erect and proud and radiating passion. By God, she was a fine woman.
4. He lit candles until the room was bright enough for him to see the tiniest of beauty marks on one of her cheeks, and then crossed the room and opened a window, letting in a breeze that rippled through the flames, the light dancing over her skin.
5. She felt the ripple of muscle in his shoulders and slid her hands higher, fingering the hair at his neck.
6. Bink shoved the candle at the housekeeper and jumped the small space, seizing the man's collar and tossing him into a worktable with a loud oof.
7. He was truly a kind man, with a good sense of humor. And a good kisser. They could do more of that before he sailed for India.
8. "Do you suppose, Paulette, I would go off and leave a child of mine?"
9. All spies were liars, and whether she'd inherited her parents' skills, he couldn't tell, not yet.
10. Hand shaking, she fingered her knife and pulled her bonnet lower.
11. Her skin prickled, her nerves jigging like the barroom full of boys in their cups at the inn where they'd stopped for food late the last night.
12. A shadow moved in the portico and a dark figure loomed and terror slammed her.
13. "It's your money, Paulette. All yours."
