While avenging the death of his fiancé years earlier, Michael
Nathaniel Clairmont, Duke of North Yorkshire, learns that he CAN love again. Will
the woman he wants also learn to love again? He sets out to capture her heart.

Vanessa is heartbroken over recent events in her life; she’s
also head strong, flaunts London aristocracy and
takes on breeding horses, something unheard of in the society circles of London. She finds herself
trying to put the pieces of her life back together, but can she do it alone? With
a child on the way, she is forced to do just that – their future depends on her
strength. Then a friend offers to help. Dare she trust a man sworn to carry out
a vow taken on a death bed? She refuses to accept that his love is true when his
honor of sticking to his word is also at stake.

Can Nathan survive another heartache? Join him and Vanessa as
they work through the torments of their past and work together to fight for their
love and a future together.

Interview with Nathaniel Clairmont:

I’m excited that Captain Nathaniel Clairmont is here to chat
with us for a bit. I’ve pulled him from the pages but he can’t stay long. He’s
the handsome hero from No Turning Back, a respected ship captain, friend and breeder
of horses; he loves to ride, but loves the ocean just as much. And here’s a secret
– he’s also a Duke!

Nathan, your home in Scarborough,
England sounds like a wonderful place, overlooking the ocean. How long has the castle
been in your family?

The fortress has been in my family for over one hundred years.
A castle’s structure is cold and damp so I do what I can to keep it warm and comfortable
inside. I’ve done some reconstruction inside and out due to the age so it won’t
crumble down around me. I’ve collected tapestries from around the world and those
hang on the walls to help keep the heat inside. I enjoy walking out on the parapets
that look out onto the water, to listen to the crashing waves on warm summer evening.

With all your travels
and time at court with the King, I envision all types of women wanting to get to
know you better. Tell us what you look for in a woman who might interest you.

*Nathan rubs his chin as he thinks about an answer* I would have
to start with height. I like tall women, with a nice smile but doesn’t constantly
giggle and chatter. Is that a good start? I want to be able to read her eyes, the
windows to a woman’s soul. I’m a fairly good judge of character. I like a smart
woman who is able to hold a conversation; beauty is nice but there is more to a
female than good looks.

Well that gives us a list
of attributes to start with. Our readers place themselves in the heroine’s character
you know; they all want to be in my story with YOU! Are you the type of man who
doesn’t like getting tied down to one relationship, play the field, so to speak?

Never Surrender

*he has a deep laugh* I don’t have time to play the field, Deanna.
The King keeps me pretty busy at court or traveling on his behalf and when I’m not
doing that, I’m at my home where I breed beautiful horses. The woman of my dreams
will share that love with me. I like to think of myself as a one-woman man and our
love will last a lifetime, if I’m lucky enough to find that.

So, have you found the
woman of your dreams, Nathan?

I can’t answer that without giving things away, now can I. *he
gives me a sexy wink* I’ve had my share of women in my life but I want to settle
down one day, to have children, someone to leave my home to.

When you’re on the ocean…sailing…are
you at home there? Do you feel in control of something larger than life?

I was raised aboard ships. My father took me with him when he
sailed and I learned how to read the water, to know when I don’t have control because
the sea takes orders from no one. A captain depends on a good crew to help keep
the ship safe and I have that in my crew. I trust them with my life.

We all have enemies. Care
to enlighten us about a few of yours?

Hmmm…Langley
has been a thorn in my side since childhood. We didn’t necessarily run in the same
circles of London
society, but he did attend some of the same entertainment and events such as a local
ball or two. He was jealous of the ease at which I could talk with women and there
were a few females I guess one could say I turned in my direction. His jealous nature
is also part of the reason he can’t keep a woman; that and he’s bloody greedy.

Nathan, thank you for
taking the time to be here with us. I know our readers have been thrilled to know
you a little better. Can you stick around for a few questions?

I can do that. I can’t wait to hear what questions they might
have for me!

We can’t be responsible
for their actions or questions, you know! So be prepared…we look forward to it.
Again, thank you!

My pleasure!

About the Author

Deanna Jewel lives in the Pacific Northwest
and has been writing multi-genre romance

Deanna Jewel

since 1991. She is married to a retired
captain of the fire department. He’s also owned his own businesses for 25 years.
They have two Siamese cats: Zoie and Sinbad, who keep them entertained. Deanna has
enjoyed reading historical romance novels for over thirty years, camping with her
family, and traveling.

She writes to draw the reader into the story to experience what
the characters feel, to show both the hero’s and heroine’s points of view, and to
take the reader away from their every day stress to a place not yet visited.

A trip to Dubois, Wyoming, south of Yellowstone,
inspired her time-travel novel. The landscape and town locations described in Never
Surrender are real. Jon Daley, a professor at Boise State
University, translated the
Shoshone language that you will find in the book. This novel won an Honorable Mention
in the 2008 Quill Awards at Writing.com.

No Turning Back, her historical romance, takes place in England,
1778, was released in April 2010, and is available in print, eBook and iBook for
download to your electronic readers.

Her newest novel, Whispers At Ghost Point, released in late December,
2012. Whispers takes place at an abandoned lighthouse in Wilmington, NC
and is the sequel to No Turning Back. The characters are reincarnated into the present.
Join Dana as she learns about her past while working toward her future. The dangers
that lurk at an abandoned lighthouse pull her into a past she was unaware of but
also involves a man she’s never met…in this lifetime!
