the February 2019 Intrigues




"The thrill of reading about danger and suspense to a couple in love. It makes the adrenaline flow faster while reading!" ~Nas D.

Be sure to enter the Rafflecopter drawing (below) for an autographed copy of Nichole Severn's RULES IN RESCUE! 


ANGI: Favorite thing about Anthony HarrisNICHOLE: I loved writing Anthony’s character. On the surface, he’s closed off, guarded, and violent, but when you crack that shell, you discover really, he’s just as terrified of losing the people in his life as the rest of us are. His complexity is probably my favorite thing about him.

ANGI: Favorite thing about Glennon Chase NICHOLE: What isn’t there to like about Glennon? She’s a single mom, determined to protect the most important person in her life: her son. Oh, and she can kick your ass while she’s at it, too.

ANGI: Favorite thing about RULES IN RESCUE
NICHOLE: I’ll be honest, this book was so hard to write! I stalled out probably five times before I could finish it, but I’d have to say my favorite thing about Rules in Rescue is that my mother-in-law called it “Hallmark with guns.”

ANGI: Can you tell us something you discovered while writing RULES IN RESCUE?
NICHOLE: I’ve never written kids in my books before Rules in Rescue. I was so intimidated and afraid putting a four-year-old in danger would turn readers off of the book, but over the course of writing the book, I found I was actually able to put more emotion and realism in the book because I was able to identify with the characters more. As a mom of a four-year-old (at the time), imagining how I would feel in that situation only made my writing better, I think.

ANGI: Favorite scene in RULES IN RESCUE
NICHOLE: Oh, that’s a hard one, but the first one that comes to mind is a scene where Anthony is meeting Glennon’s son for the first time. He immediately falls into a tickle fight between the love of his life and this little boy and he realizes he’s never been happier.


RULES IN RESCUE

She walked away from him once.
Now he’s her only hope.

Blackhawk Security weapons expert Anthony Harris has trained for any contingency. Except the return of his ex-fiancée. Glennon Chase walked out on the former ranger five years ago. And now the CID special agent needs Anthony’s help with a deadly investigation into her partner’s disappearance. Dodging bullets he can handle, but partnering with his ex is flat-out dangerous. Especially when Anthony discovers that the secret Glennon is keeping could get them both killed.

THE Q&A
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
NICHOLE: This year I’ve made it a goal to pick up a book instead of switching on Netflix, but I’m still trying to get the hang of it! I try to read at least one book a month. Which, I know, sounds ghastly to a romance reader, but between a full time job and my babes, one book a month keeps my busy.

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
NICHOLE: I love the hero of this book. If I had to pick one favorite thing about Sullivan Bishop, it would be when he loses his tightly-wound control. There’s nothing sexier than reading a hero who is absolutely awestruck when it comes to the woman he loves.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
NICHOLE: Now, here me out. It’s not the best movie in the world, but I love it and will watch it a million times in a row if I had the chance. Pacific Rim. Yeah, I felt you all cringing at that one. I’m a huge Godzilla and Transformers nerd (I love the sound the Transformers make in the movies, I seriously get goosebumps) and Pacific Rim put them together in epic battles!

ANGI: What’s your perfect day?
NICHOLE: Every Saturday my husband makes an effort to gather up the kids in the morning so they don’t wake me up and I can sleep in. It’d be even better if it worked, but I love the thought he puts into making sure I have my rest. Because it’s not pretty when I don’t. That’s pretty perfect to me.

ANGI: Salad or soup?
NICHOLE: You don’t make friends with salad.

ANGI: Would you put yourself in a Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
NICHOLE: Action! I want to kick down a door, chase down a suspect, and carry a gun!

ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf? 
NICHOLE: The Office. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it all the way through (hence, the bad Netflix habit). I got to the point when I was pregnant last year, I’d put it on to fall asleep because it’s just so comforting.
 
ANGI: Favorite date night…fancy or at home? 
NICHOLE: Funny you bring this up because my husband and I were just talking about how we’d rather put the kids to bed and watch TV every night than go out. At least then I don’t have to get dressed.

ANGI: Champagne or Soda?
NICHOLE: Diet Coke is my life.

ANGI: Geek or Jock?
NICHOLE: Put those two together!

ANGI: The most daring thing you’ve ever done… Care to share?
NICHOLE: I love taking risks in my personal life, with my business, but I’ve got to tell you, I’m probably the most boring person in the world. But I did just visit Bryce Canyon national park and decided fences weren’t going to stop me from getting a great picture. So I climbed out on a fenced off 300+ foot ledge for this shot. (attached)

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK:  Where is your favorite writing space & why?

NICHOLE’S GOTTA ANSWER: I’m going to be honest. I hate where my desk is right now, but we ran out of bedrooms making babies. So, as of right now, my desk is shoved into the corner of my bedroom and I die a little inside every time I have to sit there to work.

The July Intrigues

~Harlequin Intrigues ~
"The Harlequin Intrigue hero is not afraid to break the rules in order to see justice done and to protect the innocent."
~It's my privilege to bring you all six of the July releases. With a special feature on Lena Diaz who is graciously donating 1 autographed copy of SWAT STANDOFF to a lucky Rafflecopter Winner. 


SWAT STANDOFF

A SWAT team vanishes.

Can two partners put aside their differences to save them?

Playing hero backfires on sexy SWAT team member Blake Sullivan. He infuriates his partner, Donna Waters, as much as he attracts her. But before they can resolve their differences, they discover that the rest of their team have been kidnapped by an unknown assailant. Now as they race to rescue the small Tennessee town’s real heroes, they share a growing mutual trust…and a hot, life-changing connection.

Tennessee SWAT
Preview & Order

ANGI:  Favorite thing about SWAT member Blake Sullivan
LENA: I love that Blake isn’t perfect. He’s a deliciously flawed hero and a complex character. Just when you think you understand him, you find out something new. I loved discovering what makes him tick, and why he is the way he is. His love for Donna transforms him and enables him to save his team.

ANGI:  Favorite thing about SWAT member Donna Waters
LENA:  Donna is loyal, both to her team and to the man she loves. She’s also incredibly smart. When her loyalties seem to be at odds with eachother, she finds a way to be true without compromising her principles. I love that about her.

ANGI:  Favorite thing about SWAT STANDOFF
LENA:  That it really WORKED as the wrap-up book for the Tennessee SWAT series! I wanted to ensure that every character who’d been in the series played a role in this story, without taking away from Blake and Donna as the central characters. After all, this is their love story. I’m really proud of how it turned out. I feel that it checks all the boxes, and has a really feel good, uplifting ending in spite of the turmoil that everyone goes through. I can picture the Destiny Tennessee SWAT team at their annual summer barbeques laughing and having fun even now. Who knows. Maybe one day I’ll figure out a way to re-visit them in a new series.

ANGI:  Did you find many female SWAT members in your research?
LENA:  Actually, I can’t remember ANY female SWAT team members in the research that I did. But I was more interested in equipment and techniques. The interplay of the team members was more my creation than from research. This team is unique because they’re full time detectives and part-time SWAT team members. They have dual roles because they’re in a small town with a small budget. So I couldn’t tailor the team’s dynamics off a typical SWAT team. I relied more on my own experience from having lived in rural small towns and used that blend of comaradery and “brotherhood” between the men and only woman on the team.

ANGI:  Favorite scene in SWAT STANDOFF
LENA:  I had to think about this one. There are so many fun scenes in this story. But I’d probably choose the scene where Blake and Donna disguise themselves and break into a house to try to get information to help them save the team. This was a huge turning point in the story because this was where Donna finds out there is WAY more to Blake’s past than she ever imagined. She gets a shocking, compelling glimpse into what made him the man he is now. And she begins to understand the reasons that he’s had so much trouble meshing with the team. I guess you could say it’s a scene where a layer gets peeled away and you get to see Blake in a whole new light. There are lots of moments like that in the story and I really enjoyed writing those scenes.


RANGER GUARDIAN

A Texas Ranger’s daughter has been taken.

Getting her back is all that matters.

They’ve been estranged for months, so Texas Ranger Heath Murray is surprised to be partnered with his dedicated FBI agent wife, Kendall Barlow. It’s the case of Kendall’s career—a career that has divided their marriage, though not their attraction. When their young daughter is kidnapped as a pawn, they have only each other to turn to. Saving her together is their only option. The alternative is unthinkable.


Texas Brothers of Company B






SAVED BY THE SHERIFF

He’ll protect her back.
But will he win her heart?

Sheriff Travis Walker doesn’t blame Lacy Milligan for hating him—he jailed her for murder. But now he’s exonerated her, and the handsome lawman needs her to find the real killer. Will she overcome her hatred to help? As she relents, violence explodes—someone wants her dead. With time running out, their investigation deepens…and ignites sparks of attraction neither ever expected.
