About Desire, Deceit, and the Doctor

Genre Contemporary Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): UK 18
Twelve years ago, Mandy Devlin moved away from her friends
and family–under threat. If she returned in the next ten years or told anyone
who fathered her baby, her boyfriend’s great-aunt would bankrupt her family.
She’s a single mom who dreams of her lost love and a good spanking. When she’s
finally free to return to Westhorpe Ridge, the last person she expects to see
is Adam–the man she loved and lost so long ago.
Dr. Adam Montgomery doesn’t know he has a son. Thanks to his
great-aunt’s will, he has nine months to find a bride or he loses Montgomery
Hall and the fifteen million dollars she left him. Although he seduces Mandy on
his first night home, he still believes she betrayed him twelve years ago. No
way would he marry a woman like her.
As Valentine’s Day looms, someone tries to kill Mandy. Is
Adam trying to get rid of her? Or can Mandy trust him to protect them?

Introducing Mandy Devlin

Age: 30
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Westhorpe Ridge, North Carolina
Profession: Teacher turned Hotelier.
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Please provide a
physical description of yourself.
I’m a redhead, with a redhead’s temper. Not that I ever stay
angry long. I used to wear my hair long, but as a single mom, it’s easier to
wear it shorter. It still flies about in spiral curls. Other than that, I’m
sort of average—Average weight, Average build, but I have a redhead’s pale
skin.
Please tell us a
little about yourself.
This one is hard. I was the idiot cheerleader who ended up
pregnant with the captain of the football team’s baby. Circumstances, or more
truthfully, Adam’s wicked Great Aunt Edith—forced me to move away from my home
and my family. The last eleven years haven’t been easy, but I have a wonderful
son. I wouldn’t be without Ben now. I trained as a teacher, and even scraped
together enough cash to buy my grandmother’s hotel when she wanted to retire.
Owning Devlin’s hotel was a childhood dream, but I’m a bit fazed by how much
she’s let it go.
Who is the significant
other in your life?
Yeah right. As if I have time for romance. Once, I dreamed
of forever with Adam Devlin. We’d been dating for four years, then he dumped me
right in the middle of dance floor at our senior prom. At least I know he’s
moved on from Westhorpe Ridge now. According to his sister, he’s an army doctor
serving in the Middle East. Not that I’m keeping track or anything.
Are you book-smart, self-taught,
widely-experienced?
Book smart, I guess. I have a Math degree with a minor in
Business Studies. I’ve tried to wise up and be people smart too. I’ve been down
on my luck myself, so I help out wherever I can, but most of my life’s devoted
to raising Ben.
Do you get by, live comfortably,
live extravagantly?
Comfortably? I wish. I had a nest egg, a payoff from Adam’s
great aunt really, but I used it to get through school and put down the deposit
on Devlin’s Hotel. Things are pretty tight, but they’ll get better when I’ve
updated the hotel. The lunchroom’s keeping us afloat at the moment, and I’ve
got a small emergency fund. I really need to be making a profit by summer
though.
What is your viewpoint
on wealth?
It depends what you do with it. Two of my friends, Jazz
Stewart and Abigail Montgomery have just inherited a small fortune each. I know
they’ll use it to do good things. Edith Montgomery, though—that’s Adam’s old
bat of an aunt—used her millions to manipulate people. You wouldn’t believe the
things she threatened to do to my family when I refused to abort my baby. The
compromise was she paid me off and I left town after I signed a contract that
said I couldn’t tell anyone who my baby’s father is. Not even Adam.
If someone from your past
showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?
Adam Montgomery. I guess part of my heart still belongs to
him, but you hit the nail on the head when you called him my past.
If someone from your past
showed up, who would you most NOT want it to be, and why?
Adam Montgomery. It would kill me to see him with someone
else. Now his great aunt’s dead though, I need to tell him about Ben. I’m not
sure where I start with that, but he’s going to freak out when he discovers he
has a ten-year-old son he’s never met.
What is your breaking
point?
This damned hotel. I’m pretty close to throwing in the towel
and going back to teaching. Every room needs a facelift, and I can’t afford to
get people in to do it. I mean, I love the place, and Ben’s settled in Westhorpe
Ridge now. The upside is I get more time with my son, but then I’m up at dawn
and working until midnight.

Kryssie Fortune Social Media

Kryssie Fortune
writes the sort of hot sexy books she loves to read. If she can sneak a dragon
into her paranormal books she will. 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 endings, and a series that ends on a cliff hanger.
Her books are all
stand alone, even when they’re part of a series. Plot always comes before sex,
but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and
explicit.
