Ten Questions With Ann Wesley Hardin This month Red Sage Presents … Ann Wesley Hardin! Ann has had many incarnations. After spending seven years earning university and post-graduate degrees in Anthropology, Museum Studies and Earth Sciences, she worked as a bartender, a radio weather forecaster, an environmental groundwater consultant and, finally, a novelist. A native New Yorker, she spent countless months traveling the world, and finally found a European style village in rural Pennsylvania, where she settled with her family. Ann’s story Bonded has been wowing readers and reviewers alike. 1) Did you ever think you would be doing what you do? 2) How did becoming a writer change your life? 3) Are there common themes that show up in all your stories? If so, what are they? 4) What draws you to the setting you chose for this story? 5) You write wonderful sex scenes. What makes a sex scene really sizzle? 6) Which comes to you first, the plot or the characters? 7) Your story is very funny. Do you think it’s harder to write comedy than to write straight contemporary stories? 8) Any plans to step out of your usual genre? 9) Of all the heroes you’ve created, which is your favorite and why? 10) Will Jorge the Masseuse be making any cameos in upcoming stories?

“No.” He spoke softly, but his deep voice licked right into her. “You don’t have any rights in this game, Ms. Scarlet. You strip when I say strip, you spread your legs when I say spread your legs, and you get a drink when I give you one. Understand?” She nodded, her head as heavy as her breasts. He took a step closer. “If I’m pleased with your obedience, I’ll dispose of this warrant.” He touched the rustling paper. “And you’ll be free to go. Agreed?” She nodded again, her mind churning. Go? She’d been planning to spend the night here, assuming he’d want her to stay. She didn’t have anywhere else to go. Did he really mean that, or was it just part of the game? “Do you agree, Ms. Scarlet?” Just the faintest threat in his tone. “Yes.” She hesitated. Every time she said the word, she felt weaker. “Sir.” “Good.” He reached to his service belt and removed his gun. The moon flashed briefly on the dark barrel as he placed the gun on the serving table next to the grill, pointing it away from them. He turned back to her. “Let’s see how well you understand your part in this deal.” His gaze raked her body. “Take off your top.” She jumped, startled by the suddenness of his command. His eyes watched her steadily as he waited, a predator certain now of his prey. Slowly, she reached for the hem of her tank top and inched it up her body. When it crept past her breasts and they popped free in the moonlight, she heard him catch his breath. She dropped her shirt on the flagstones. “Good,” he grunted. He reached behind his waist and removed a pair of handcuffs. They clanked together as he held them up. This time, Tory caught her breath. Did she want him to use them, or not? She didn’t know. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Candidate Number Two for Secrets Volume 24: Vote for Hot on Her Heels by Mia Varano! All the male dancers in the Lollipop Lounge like to bare it all, but only one is also an undercover investigator! Will Jack solve the crime before Vivica blows his cover? Jack sure knows how to show some movement on the issues. Check this out–
The slow, sinuous strains of a Latin beat filled the room, and Jack weaved into the spotlight. He moved his body to the rhythm, swiveling his hips and rolling his shoulders. He swept the hat off first and tossed it in her general direction where it landed on the floor. The black cape swirled around him as he whipped it over his head and flung it off stage. The form-fitting black shirt and pants molded to his muscular frame as he arched his back and dropped to his knees. She’d seen better dancers, but Jack knew how to move his body with an athletic grace and power that oozed pure testosterone. He ripped the shirt from his body and threw it at her. She reached out to block the shirt from hitting her face, clutching at its silky folds. His light sandalwood scent clung to the shirt, and she dropped it as if it scorched her hands. He pumped his chiseled chest and caressed his pecs. Vivica sat forward in her chair and ran her tongue along her dry lips. His pelvis undulated, his bulge straining against the thin material barely containing it. The black mask hid half his face, but his eyes gleamed and his lips turned up in a smile. She gulped. Could she stop this now? Did she want to? He dropped to the stage and pumped his hips, imitating the sex act. She felt each thrust and pressed her thighs together, squirming in her seat. The music ended with a flourish, and Jack skidded across the stage on his knees, coming to a rest in front of her, his thighs spread.

Red Sage Presents: This Month’s Recommended E-Books
Bonded by Ann Wesley Hardin
When Sela Wilson requested a gothic hero during Fantasy Weekend at a luxury hotel, she didn’t expect to be stuck with the worst actor ever. Daniel Bond, womanizing, billionaire hotelier, didn’t expect to have to go under cover to play the part, nor did he expect Sela to ditch him for a dildo. There’s only one solution. Daniel will give Sela her Fantasy Hero — and he’ll keep trying until he gets it right. She doesn’t like the gothic hero? How about Jorge the European masseuse with world-class hands? Or Randolph the Worshipful? He’ll play any role at all, as long as he gets to spend more time with her. But soon, Daniel yearns to peek out from under his mask, and show Sela the real man he is inside. Too bad Sela already knows Daniel Bond’s reputation. And too bad she would pick anyone at all other than Daniel….
