Fated
Desires
by Becky Flade
Jenna Gavin is searching for a fresh start and, more importantly, for
balance. Her heart, and perhaps the hands of fate, have led her and her son to
Trappers' Cove, Minnesota. Settling in the small, quirky town, she's not in the
market for a casual relationship but finds herself in one with the young
widower next door.
Former shortstop, Gabriel Foxx, is drawn to his difficult new neighbor.
The more the prickly divorcee tries to keep him at arm's length, the more
determined he is to break down her walls. He can't avoid the passion Jenna
inspires and his friendship with Finn has him yearning for family, but Gabe
won't allow himself to feel more.
When friendship grows complicated by stronger emotions and mutual desire
just isn't enough, will love be worth the risk?
Fated Desires
Enjoy the following excerpt from Fated
Desires:
She had
drifted closer to him. Or him to her. Jenna couldn’t be sure. But it would take
only a shift of balance to touch her body to his. Life was about balance. And
the shifting of worlds. In the space of a day her world had changed for better
and for worse. She’d spent the previous nine years trying to find her balance
again.
Jenna
felt the familiar kick of desire. She’d never understood the girls who spoke of
butterflies and stirrings. For her it was more akin to a donkey
kick—pleasurable, sure, like the first jolt of caffeine in the morning and as
sure and swift and strong. Her pulse sped up and she knew the vein in her neck
would visibly pulse; it did when she was angry and when she was aroused. Gabe
was sure to notice it. As she noticed his heart pounding against her palm in a
rhythm she found seductive.
She
raised her gaze from the back of her hand. His mouth was aligned with her own.
She hadn’t realized how close in height they were. All she had to do was…shift.
“This is
the longest conversation we’ve had.” Her voice was husky; she heard it, knew he
would. He shifted, imperceptibly but she sensed it.
“Maybe
this,” his voice was husky too, “is why.”
She
thought she knew what he meant. The tension between them was awareness.
“The day
we met I wanted to get close enough to see what color your eyes were. They’re
gray. Like storm clouds. Perfect.”
Jenna
could feel his breath on the flesh of her lips and her nipples tightened.
“Mom!”
Finn’s
shout was punctuated by his feet drumming down the stairs. Gabe brushed his
lips over the curve of her cheek, his eyes conveying amused regret, and slipped
out the back door, barely making a sound. Jenna grabbed the counter and
breathed. She needed to settle herself before her son found his way to the
kitchen.
What the hell?

Interview With Becky Flade:
1. Can
you tell us a little about your books?
What
I call my Trappers’ Cove books are a series of romances with a paranormal
flavor featuring a network of friends/family from the East Coast trying to make
new lives with new loves in the fictional town of Trappers’ Cove, Minnesota. The
romances are sensual but the lovemaking discreetly written.
I
also have my Covert Passions series, which are graphic erotic spy novellas
based on the missions of CIA super spy Paige Fleming. And a contemporary
romance releasing later this year with Tirgearr Publishing.
2. When
did you know you wanted to write a book?
I
was little, 5 or 6, when I got the urge to transfer the stories in my head to
paper. In fact, I asked my kindergarten teacher to help me.
3. When
you write do you write the first draft on a computer or paper
and pen?
Computer
but with a caveat – I write myself notes [hunks of dialogue, whole scenes, a
few words, lists of potential names, time zone information, climate data, etc.]
in one of the several notebooks I keep for that purpose.
4. Do
you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when writing?
Pepsi
or wine, and watermelon sour patch kids.
5. Do
you have a favorite spot to write?
I
really don’t. I have a dedicated spot to write but I tend to wander around the
house depending on my mood. You’re just as likely to find me on the sofa or at
the dining room table as you are at my desk.
6. For
a reader who hasn't read your books yet, which book do you suggest they start
with?
You
should start with Fated Souls. Definitely. Each of the Trappers’ Cove books
stand alone but Souls is Maggie and Aidan’s story and they appear as supporting
characters throughout.
7. If
you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
Alphabetizing
things. I am such a nerd!
8. What
are you working on next?
I
started working the draft of the next, possibly last, Trappers’ Cove romance.
But I’m waiting on revisions to my contemporary romance and that’ll take precedence.
