The Questions
1)
You’re
marooned on a small island with one person and one item of your choice—who is
that
Macgyver and a gin & tonic. I will then slowly slip the gin &
tonic as I watch Macgyver get us out of this situation with the lint he found
in his pocket and an old gum wrapper.
2)
Which
musical would you say best exemplifies your life – and which character in that
musical are you?
Beauty and the Beast – only because I LOVE that fairy tale with a fiery
passion. As for which character…I guess Belle?
3) Take
these three words and give me a 100 word or less scenario using them: night, union,
minute
In less than a minute, night fell upon the union.
4) You’ve
just been let loose in the world of fiction, with permission to make love to
anyone you want. Who do you choose and why?
Mal Reynolds from Firefly, because he’s played by Nathan Fillion. Oh
my, how I lust after that man!
However, then I would feel super guilty because clearly Inara and Mal
are each other’s great loves and I really shouldn’t come between them… J
5)
What
is your idea of how to spend romantic time with your significant other?
Hanging together and chatting about nothing, with no distractions and
no concerns. That sounds like bliss.
6)
When
you start a new story, do you begin with a character, or a plot?
Generally it will be a ‘what if’ idea. What if a recent widow’s late
husband had no will? What if the only person who could help her was her
childhood nemesis? What if they fell in love?
And that’s how SILK & SCORN began!
7)
If
they were to make the story of your life into a movie, who should play you?
Maggie Gyllenhaal. I don’t know why, she’s just the first actress that
popped into my head!
8)
Who’s
your favorite horror villain and why?
9)
Do
you have an historical crush and if so, who is it?
I can’t say as I do have a historical crush. Am I boring? Is this a
thing? Should I rush out and get one???
10)
Is
there a story that you’d like to tell but you think the world isn’t ready to
receive it?
Nope, the world is definitely ready for all my ideas!
Silk and Scorn - The Silk Series Book 2

BLURB:
No
matter how much their mothers wanted Sarah and Arthur to wed, Sarah had loathed
him. However, circumstance and her late husband’s father conspire against her,
and she is forced to turn to Arthur for help. Perhaps she needs his legal
expertise, but she refuses to acknowledge how handsome her oldest foe has
become…or her reaction to him.
His
childhood nemesis is the last person Arthur Davenport expected to require his
services. When a spurious claim against her late husband’s estate brings Sarah
Wetherall to his door, he can’t refuse the pretty widow.
Thrown
together by fate, will they discover there is a fine line between scorn and
passion?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
“Stop looking at me like that.”
“Like what?”
Ignoring the sudden thud of her heart, she waved her hand.
“That.”
His fingers rubbed his cuff. “I’m not looking at you in any
particular way.”
“Yes. You are.” A way that made her feel shivery and weak
and desperately wanting his body against hers. She had wanted to see him, had
wanted…something, but this was too much, too fast.
She squared her shoulders. “I’m leaving.”
“Are you?” He took a step forward.
The chair behind her, she couldn’t take a step back. Not
that she would. Oh no, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. “Yes! Must you
answer everything with a question?”
He took another step forward. “Am I?”
He was so close, she could see the faint pattern of freckles
on his skin. “What are you doing?”
He was silent a long moment. “I don’t know.”
“Well, you should know. You should be aware of your actions
and their consequences.” Words bubbled from her, nerves running them together.
“This is insupportable, ridiculous, and—and—”
“Sarah. Hush.” He put his hand to her cheek.
Slowly, she covered his hand with hers. The air between them
thickened, as if a hundred thousand expectations rode the space.
She didn’t know if it were she or him who swayed first, but
their lips brushed. Soft, gentle, his lips clung to hers, and she could not
remember ever feeling such sweetness in her life.
They parted. Opening her eyes, she found a hesitant hazel
gaze regarding her. She couldn’t describe how she felt. She felt warm and
comforted and happy and hopeful. She felt…possibility.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Cassandra

Once she learned to read (First phrase – To the Beach. True story), she was
never without a book, reading of other people’s fantastical worlds and
marvelous adventures.
Fairy
tales, Famous Fives, fantasies and fancies; horror stories, gumshoe detectives,
science fiction; Cassandra read it all. Then she discovered Romance and a true
passion was born.
So,
once upon a time, after making a slight detour into the world of finance,
Cassandra tried her hand at writing. After a brief foray into horror, she
couldn’t discount her true passion. She started to write Romance and fell head
over heels.
The
love affair exists to this very day.
