Good
morning friends! We have a special guest with us today and she's going to be talking about her newest release, Sweetest Salvation, beginning with a very cool character interview with the heroine, Andy Sheaver!
KH:
Today I’m here with SS heroine, Andy Sheaver.
Hello Andy!
AS: Hi Kacey. *Waves to
readers* Nice to be here.
KH:
How have you been? Anything new?
AS: I’ve been doing very
well. Busy. Organizing a few charity events. People have been very generous.
KH:
It’s wonderful that you’re back doing what you love. And how are things going
with Hunter?
AS: *grinning* Very well. I’m truly happy and things are
relaxed while also exciting. He keeps things very interesting.
KH:
For so long the grief and despair was crippling…and I don’t want to dwell on it
too much but how do you find your day to day living now? Is each day easier?
AS: I get up every day
with new purpose and a need to live in memory of Patrick and Peter. It took me
a long time to realize that I wasn’t doing their memory justice, was wasting
every day away, but it’s easier now and life really is worth living. Plus
there’s Hunter and Mom and Dad Sheaver, my own folks have come out to visit and
things have been really fantastic. I miss Patrick and Peter every day, not an
hour goes by that I don’t think of one of them but the memories aren’t
heart-wrenching like they once were. There are more positive memories that make
me smile and fill my heart with warmth and love for them. I’m also thrilled for
what the future holds. I found a second love to share my life with and it’s
magnificent.
KH:
I’m so happy for you. Truly. Now to change pace…have you been back to Club
Splendor lately?
AS: *blushes* Yes I
have. Many times. Hunter and I have been taken to being there at least a couple
times a week. I’m still a watcher but have become good friends with Paige. She
and I have a lot in common and she’s helped out with a few charity events as
well.
KH:
Umm, aren’t things awkward between you two considering you had sex with her …
Umm, husband, Nolan?
AS: *shakes head* No not
really. The first ten minutes were a little but once we got talking we hit it
off. And besides, what happens in the club stays in the club. That’s one of the
benefits of Hunter’s business. Everyone can be assured that they aren’t judged,
especially outside of the club.
KH:
And how is Mrs. Morrow? For those that haven’t read SS yet, Mrs. Morrow is the
owner of the B&B on Wolfe Island that is very near and dear to Andy’s
heart. How is she doing?
AS: Oh, she’s doing very
well. We talk nearly every day. She’s a friend-slash-therapist. Hunter adores
her as well. She came for a weekend visit and the two hit it off. Though she
flirts with him. *laughing* It’s very cute really. He charms her and she loves
it. I’m so happy to have such great people in my life.
KH:
I can imagine her flirting with him. A young soul she is. And speaking of Hunter’s charm…have there
been any more surprise gifts? He loves surprising you.
AS: Oh yes, romantic
dinners. Movie nights. Weekends away. He spoils me terribly.
KH:
Any particular details you can tell us about him that we don’t know? Some new
things you’ve learned? Is he a morning person or grouchy?
AS: *grins* He’s ticklish. And don’t tell him I’m sharing
any of this! *laughs* His feet are ticklish, and his sides are terribly
ticklish. He’s very particular with organization as well. He lines up all his
personal toiletries in his medicine cabinet and the counter. Everything has a
spot and needs to be perfectly aligned when he’s not using them. He’s never grouchy. He falls asleep with a
smile on his face and wakes up with one. Drives me crazy to be honest. I’m definitely
not a morning person.
KH:
I had no idea of his little obsessive things. Fascinating. And you know, Andy,
because we’re all friends here…is there any one place on him – besides the
obvious *wink* -- that gets him “in the mood quickly”?
AS: Oh gosh, should I
really divulge info like that? I mean, a man has to have some secrets right?
KH:
Sure, but we’re all prepared to keep it a secret. *grins*
AS: His back is very sensitive. It gives me great
pleasure – pun intended *grins* -- to run my fingers slowly down his spine.
He’s quick to respond when I do that, and is quite amorous in the middle of
lovemaking when I do it. That’s his ‘just the spot’.
KH:
Sounds like you have him figured out.
AS: *shrugs* Somewhat.
He’s still able to surprise me every now and then. He’s pretty amazing.
KH:
Will you make an honest man of him someday?
AS: Oh, I don’t know. We
haven’t discussed marriage. I’m in it for the long haul, will never give him
up, but walking down the aisle again isn’t something I’m ready to think about
just yet.
KH:
I get it. Still difficult to completely let go, isn’t it?
AS: Yes. I always
thought I’d be married to the same man forever. While I’m totally in love now
and committed for the long-term, it’s hard to just relax and let what happens
happen. I’ll get there eventually.
KH:
You’re inspiring, Andy. You’ve already come a long way, and learned to live
again. I’m thrilled to know you.
AS: Thank you. I’m not
that inspiring I’m sure, but I am glad readers are enjoying the story.
KH:
I know it’s difficult to share your vulnerabilities with others. I thank you
for allowing me to do that.
AS: *looks at her watch*
Oh, I have to run. I have a committee meeting with Mom Sheaver. Thanks for
sitting down with me today, Kacey.
KH:
Thank you for everything, Andy.

“Mr.
Sullivan is waiting for you. He said you’d know where to go.” He smiled and
winked.
Cheeks
on fire, she gave him a small nod and walked ahead. She moved into the bar area
and looked around. The place was packed tonight. There
were a few people she recognized, but most were new faces. Hunter’s business
was certainly thriving.
Bridget
caught sight of her and waved. Andy did the same and turned to the left, down
the hall that would take her to room fourteen and Hunter. Movement
caught the corner of her eye, and she looked to her right. At a table in the
far corner, Paige and Nolan sat with another couple. She missed a step, but
gained her balance again. She hadn’t thought about seeing them again. Paige
waved and her husband smiled bright.
The
couple’s kindness and understanding arced across the room. Andy smiled and
waved back. They’d been there for her the other night. She’d be forever
grateful for it. Reaching
the room, she took a deep breath and knocked. Hearing Hunter’s gruff, “Come
in,” she turned the knob.
The
room, similar to the one she’d used the other night, had a warmer feel to it.
The fireplace ablaze, the heat of it welcomed her. Andy’s
gaze swept the room. Furnished with a full living room set, she loved the royal
purple and black colors of the furniture and curtains than anything else. This
room conveyed privacy and self-indulgence. Her heart rate increased just
thinking of all that might have been done in this room.
It
was made for sex. Especially with a glass display case that took up the most of
wall. Inside were dildos, anal plugs, collars, floggers, cock rings and more
toys of pleasure. Andy’s
gaze landed on Hunter where he sat in the center of the couch, arms stretched
over the back of it.
“Hi,
sweetheart.”
Her
gaze narrowed on his and she shut the door behind her. “Don’t you sweetheart
me, Hunter. And get that look off your face.”
“What
look?”
“That
self-righteous look. I might be here, but not for the reasons you think.”
“Then
why are you here?” he questioned, his gaze unwavering.
“I
wanted to tell you in person that your idea isn’t going to happen. We’ve been…
friends too long. You’re Patrick’s best friend. It’s all kinds of wrong.”
He
leaned forward, arms resting on his powerful thighs.
His
red t-shirt molded his shoulders and the cuffs of the arms looked snug around
his biceps. Damn him for being in such great shape. She
shivered, nipples tightening. She needed to get away from him.
“There,
I’ve said all I have to say. Goodbye,” she muttered, and turned back toward the
door.
Hunter
was quickly behind her, arms encasing her as his palms pressed against the door
and preventing her retreat. His
breath was warm against her ear. Andy wished she’d left her hair down. At least
she wouldn’t be able to feel his breath on her neck.
A
shudder ran through her. “Let me out, Hunter. I need to leave.”
“Why?
You were so desperate to remain a member and be here the other night. I’m
simply offering a safer solution. Me instead of strangers,” he rasped against
her ear.
“I
don’t have to worry about much with strangers. At least they aren’t people I
have to see after the sex is over.”
Hunter
pressed in closer behind her, which pushed her farther against the door. She’d
always been claustrophobic. And right now, being caged in by this man, made it
even harder to breathe than if she was locked in a closet. His chest was firm
against her, his mouth against her ear, and his hoarse voice soft.
Her
thighs rubbed together and her clit chafed against her thong. The string along
her ass was snug. All she had to do was turn around and take what he offered.
She wanted a cock inside her.
Dear
lord, this was Hunter.
Could
she step over the invisible line and take what he offered?
He
was attractive, always had been to her. Hell, she’d only been married, not
dead. She appreciated a gorgeous man when she saw him. Hunter
always treated with her respect and friendship. She didn’t know how much he
dated but had heard women at the club mention his prowess in the bedroom. He
could probably give her everything she needed. There would be a sense of safety
with him at least.
And
her body’s reaction to him today, while surprising, knew what it wanted. While
she was sure it was a bad idea for them to journey down this path, she was
overwhelmed by the sudden realization that not just any cock would do.
She
wanted Hunter. Wanted only him inside her.
Her
breath hitched and her lungs filled, making it hard to breathe. No, she didn`t
have the courage to give into this man. She
needed to get out of this room and away from him. Grabbing the doorknob once
more, Andy yanked. Hunter’s
palms never moved from the door, but in her hasty movements, his chest aligned
tighter against her back.
Pressed
against the door, she turned her head, her right cheek resting on it as her
breasts pushed against her bra. The hard surface scraped against her clothing,
which abraded her nipples. The urge to purr and rub against the wood was overwhelming.
Hunter’s
body pressed against her; the cock cradling her ass told her that he was just
as affected as she. His length was hard, solid. His hips dipped and shoved
against the crack of her ass.
“Andy,”
he whispered in her ear.
She
closed her eyes, willed herself to push back against him until he let her go. Her
eyes opened when she realized her hips moved against his. Her pussy quivered
and her stomach clenched. There was no sense in fighting a losing battle. She
wanted him.
Blurb:
After
the deaths of her husband and child, tragedies that she blames herself for,
Andrea “Andy” Sheaver has shut herself off from the world. The only place she
finds any relief from her shattered heart is Club Splendor, where she and her
husband often frequented together. There, Andy submits to pleasure and
pain in situations so her grief is forgotten for a little while.
But
Hunter Sullivan won’t stand idly by and watch Andy self-destruct. A friend of
her husband, and the owner of Club Splendor, Hunter has kept his love for Andy
hidden for years. He refuses to think of her at the club, cold and detached as
she’s become, looking for an easy fix to take away the pain in her heart.
Hunter wants her to vibrant in life again and sets out to prove he is exactly
who she needs.
