Welcome Stacy. Can you tell us about your books?
My new release, DESIRE IN THE ARCTIC, is the sequel to my
first published book, DESIRE IN THE EVERGLADES. My storylines involve female New
York City television producers forced to participate in a wilderness survival show.
The heroines have no survival skills at all. Good thing they are always paired
with an enigmatic, sexy, former Special Ops Marine. But the odds of survival
are still slim.
For my sequel, I once again chose a dangerous location for
my characters to survive—Alaska’s Yukon. Specifically, I set the scene near the
Brooks Mountain Range in Gates of the Arctic National Park. This is the only
U.S. Park located in the Arctic Circle.
Although anyone is allowed to visit Gates of the Arctic,
accessing the park is tough. There are only two ways to enter. One is by plane.
The other is by hiking five miles from the nearest highway and then crossing a
raging river. Of course, being inside the park isn’t any safer.
The characters in DESIRE IN THE ARCTIC won’t have an easy
time. But I hope my book will be an easy read.
DESIRE IN THE ARCTIC was just released on February 3, 2016.
BLURB FOR DESIRE IN THE ARCTIC:
Ana Davis
has been given the promotion of the century—from secretary to television
producer. But the new job is not without its problems. The network will do anything for ratings. In the executive’s
scramble to come out on top, they reveal Ana’s newest show—one she’s forced to
star in herself. She’ll have to survive in the Arctic Circle for twelve days.
If she wins, she’ll get the prize money she desperately needs. But the stakes
are high, she could lose her very life. Good thing she’s been paired with
expert survivalist William “Redd” Redding, a mysterious, solitary and very sexy
man. Too bad she thinks he doesn’t even want to talk to her.
William
“Redd” Redding is a former Special Ops Marine in need of cash to help a cause
near and dear to his heart. What he’s not in need of, however, is Ana Davis—his
clueless but captivating partner. It’s up to Redd to ensure the two of them
survive in the most dangerous, hostile environment of all. But worse than
snowstorms, predators, and a scarcity of food is an even greater danger—Ana.
Resisting her, when he wants her more than anything, is his hardest challenge
yet. How does he go about protecting her when his ultimate goal is to protect
his heart?
EXCERPT FROM DESIRE IN THE ARCTIC:
“I’m not into surprises, Ana,” Redd
said gruffly. “Not when our lives are on the line. Do you have any survival
skills or don’t you? I’ve got to know exactly what I’m dealing with.”
“I-I’m sorry,” Ana stuttered,
although she wasn’t sure what she was apologizing for. Her slow response, or
for not being somebody better?
“Just level with me, okay?” he said
again, gentler this time. “I won’t be mad. Panicked, maybe. But not mad. At
least not mad at you.” He managed to give her a small smile. She wished to God
it was sincere.
“All right, I’ll level. But I hope
you won’t be too upset. I don’t have any survival skills at all.”
“None at all,” he repeated
tonelessly.
“Well, no. I grew up in Brooklyn.
The show wants me to say I’m from Manhattan but you said you want me to be
honest.”
“Have you at least gone camping
before?”
“Yes!”
“Great.” He exhaled hard, his
expression showing relief. “How often do you go?”
“I’ve only been once, actually. But
that still counts, right?”
“That depends,” he said, looking as
if he had a sudden, severe headache.
“I went during summer camp, right after
seventh grade. My whole bunk slept outside. It was fun. The counselors even let
us roast a whole bag of marshmallows.”
She could have sworn she heard him
swallow. It was almost as if he was choking on one of those marshmallows.
“Any hiking experience?” he asked
weakly.
Be
engaging, Ana. Don’t look so scared. Crack a joke or something. She managed a playful smile. “Close.
I’ve told people to take a hike.”
He bit down on his lip. It looked
like he was in pain. “Fishing?”
“No. The closest I’ve gotten to fishing
is picking up jars of herring from the supermarket.” Taking one look at his
ashen expression, she added, “I’m a fast learner though. If you teach me how to
do these things, I’ll catch on quick. I even managed to learn a whole lot about
wilderness survival before I came up here.”
“I think I need a beer,” he said,
abruptly changing the topic.
“I can get you one, if you want.”
Ana felt her face go hot.
When he stepped away, she put a hand
on his shoulder, stopping him. “Look, I’m sorry I’m not what you wanted in a
partner,” she said quietly. “I kinda got forced into this. With no notice for
me to prepare.”
He swallowed again, seemingly making
a determined effort to soften his countenance. “I’m sure you’ll do fine. Just
do what I tell you, and we’ll get through this ordeal as best as we can.” His
face was so scrunched up now he could have been a shar-pei puppy. “How’d they
force you?”
“I’m their newest producer. I don’t
have much track record yet, so . . .”
“That explains it.”
