What’s the background
to the story, Rescuing Cade?
to the story, Rescuing Cade?
I was asked to write a story for an anthology.
Almost immediately I had my character, Cade, form in my head and a love story for
him, but then I was informed the anthology would be BDSM. I thought I’d have trouble
with the genre, but the editor of the proposed anthology said, ‘give it a go’. I
began to adapt the love story in my mind for the character Cade, thinking I’d have
to consider the plot for a short time, but only a few days later the anthology was
cancelled. By then Cade was so real to me and a story with a sprinkle of the genre,
BDSM, was firmly in my mind, so I wrote it.

The story is much longer than I originally thought it might be,
especially when it was going to be for an anthology, and the romance conflict arc
is now about both Cade and my heroine, Marissa. As usual, I fell in love with my
characters and couldn’t stop writing until they reached their HEA.

I did a little research for this story because I didn’t know
much about the type of club Jack, Cade’s friend, takes him to. Once I no longer
needed to place emphasis on dominance and submission, the story unfolded easily,
interweaving with the original love story I had for Cade when he first began whispering
in my ear.

With scorching hot love scenes, tender moments, a dash of angst
and a splash of humor this is Cade’s journey to love again.

Hi Cade, thanks for coming

Hi, thank you for inviting me. I have to say it’s a little embarrassing
seeing my story published, although it’s great too.

What’s embarrassing about
it?
it?
Well, without giving too much away, the way Marissa and I meet
is unusual, I think … (He looks around and smiles as if remembering it.)

So, Cade, tell us something
about Marissa.

She’s pretty, intelligent, lots of fun and best of all she’s
mine.

What is, The Club? It’s
mysteriously referred to in the book blurb.

The Club, is the name of the BDSM club that my buddy, Jack, takes
me to. He’s trying to lighten me up right at the start of the story, because truth
is, I was still recovering from a bad break up. There’s a great description of The
Club, in the story, which is sexy and gives a good picture of what goes on there.

(He stares at me for a moment with his gorgeous blue eyes.)
I’d rather not say. The whole thing is still a little gray for
me. (Now he’s smiling.)

Okay let’s have some quick
questions. What’s your favorite, jeans, or a suit?
questions. What’s your favorite, jeans, or a suit?
I wear suits and jeans. I don’t have a favorite because I have
some cool suits for work and some great faded denims that I throw on when I’m not
working. It took me a while to get those jeans just the way I like them, ripped
and faded. Marissa especially likes the tear in the upper thigh part.

Do you ever go commando?
(He grins and his eyes twinkle)
Er, yes, sometimes in my favorite jeans, the ones I just described.
Once in a suit when Marissa and I went to The Club to meet with friends there.

Do you like making love

with the lights off or on?
Both, either, it depends … Marissa likes candlelight (He smiles)
Coffee or Cola?
Has to be coffee. Are you offering me a cup … I didn’t get breakfast
…
…
One more question. Maybe
it’s a moot point since you’ve mentioned The Club, but here is it. In bed, toys
or no toys? (Okay, he’s laughing now.)

The answer’s the same as lights on or off, both depending on
the situation. I seriously need coffee now.
