IGNITION SEQUENCE IS OUT! DO YOU HAVE YOUR COPY?

"Hill has few equals when it comes to BDSM romance. While her stories are powerful in and of themselves, it's the depth and strength of her characters that will draw you in and keep you captivated. Who wouldn't want an Alpha male who recites poetry as he rocks your world?" --Amazon Reviewer

"...truly one of the few authors I know that can lay the soul of the characters on the page in a way that speaks directly to my soul. Thank you for another wonderful escape full of hope and contemplation (on my part) and poetry." --Reader Feedback

It's finally here! I hope you all are enjoying Brick and Les as much as the two readers quoted above have. Or will do so, when it comes to the top of your TBR pile. I can relate to that! A reader posted a great meme on the JWHMembersOnly FB page this week that said, "I'm not a book hoarder. I'm prepping for the possibility that one day I might have 173 years to do nothing but read." Does that sound like anyone else's idea of heaven? I know it does mine. However, I also wouldn't be able to resist the urge to put down an inspiring book and write another story, because the two passions skip along hand in hand for me.

Anyhow, I'm so thrilled to give you this next Nature of Desire series book. We had a great release day celebration on June 30 at the JWHMembersOnly and JoeyWHillAuthor Facebook pages and my MeWe page. It included giveaways and behind-the-scenes info on the creation of this book, like the first responder research that went into it, plus pictures, experiences and events that inspired key scenes, settings and props. I talked about intriguing new secondary characters, including one who will be the hero of my next book, as you'll read later in this issue. Remember, you're always welcome to drop in. Lurkers are eternally welcome, but postings are allowed at the group page (JWHMembersOnly), and comments welcome at all three platforms!

I love my social media followers, but my newsletter readers are no less important to me. As such, I want to offer an EXCLUSIVE TO YOU giveaway! Drop down below the graphic (a slow scroll is fine - I love that backside view myself, lol...) to find out the details, though definitely pause on the buy links if you need to grab yourself a copy of Brick and Les's story.

WANT TO MEET THE HERO OF MY NEXT BOOK?

If you’re reading Ignition Sequence, you will! When Brick takes Les to a private BDSM party, they briefly cross paths with Mick, who organizes and runs the party. This enigmatic male will be CYN’S HERO, in our Mistresses of the Board Room series. The notes for this book are just gushing in, and the first chapter is already so clear in my head. It's a whoa, WTF crazy opening. Want a little snippet of Mick's description from Ignition Sequence? No spoilers, just his physical description:

As Mick closed the few strides between them, Les saw startingly sharp-pupiled eyes with irises that could be brown or blue, the club’s lighting making it too difficult to determine. His ginger-brown hair, a thick wave of it brushed back from a high forehead and square, strong face, matched the groomed beard. His shoulders and torso under the fitted blue shirt said he was solidly built. While not as tall and broad-shouldered as Brick, that didn’t make him a lean or small man, since most men weren’t Brick’s size.

Mick wore brown slacks with the shirt, which was open at the throat, revealing a silver crucifix. A blade of some kind had left a shiny, mauve scar from his collarbone to a couple inches past the cross’s resting place. On closer inspection she realized the figure on the crucifix wasn’t Jesus. It was a skeleton, and it was hugging the cross, not crucified on it.

The story behind that cross has me really curious, but I already know how he got the scar (wink). Interesting note: The main character of a movie that hit the theaters just this month has a LOT in common with Mick. I won't say which movie right now because that WOULD give you spoilers, but needless to say, the collective unconscious is a real thing. Once a storyteller in any medium has a thought, it's apparently tossed out into that subconscious creative flow, accessible to all of us. As far as what Mick looks like in my head, it’s the compilation of three actors (reflected in the graphic and identified below it), though you can imagine him as whoever you'd like him to be!

Pilou Asbaek, who played the pirate Euron Greyjoy in Game of Thrones – “I am the storm, brother. The first storm and the last.”

Mark Rowley, who is the gorgeous Irish warrior Finan in The Last Kingdom.

Plus a bit of Tobias Santelmann thrown in. He’s Ragnarson, again in The Last Kingdom – have I mentioned I’ve been binge watching this fabulous series? 

So what’s your favorite Mistresses of the Board Room book to date? If you’re still thinking about reading the series (three books so far), you can find your preferred vendor link to the first one here. AT HER COMMAND is the story of CEO Rosalinda Thomas and former Navy SEAL Lawrence Barrera (a bodyguard, protector hero, Mistress/alpha sub romance).
