How it all began….
Cameo and Quade are very near and dear to
my heart. I have to admit, I never intended for Cameo to be a college kid. I
always saw her as a prideful young woman who didn’t want her father’s money and
didn’t want his life. Nor the life he would eventually choose for her. She had
her best friend Felicia, and they lived together out in the middle of nowhere
to keep off the radar. But, there was a bounty out for her. One several men had
decided was too good to pass up.
In the beginning, the book was raunchy to
the nth degree. Quade is a very crude man. He saw what he wanted and he took
it. But, he never gave Cameo the time of day. In some ways, he put her up on a
pedestal to look at from a far, but never touch. Not that he didn’t crave her,
he did. For Cameo, Quade represented the life she wanted to leave behind. The
life she wanted nothing to do with.
I honestly can say, from the very
beginning, Cameo and Quade were oil and water, they didn’t mix well. For the
life of me, I couldn’t pin her down—never mind him. Where she pushed back
against conformity, he didn’t have the faith to take that leap and tell her
what he desired. So, I put the story down…did I mention they were humans?
*Grins* they were.
I worked on several projects in between
the time I started Cameo and Quade’s story, and when I picked it back up. Then,
one night, I saw a promo for True Blood and I believe a season two box set. It
showed a bar and the wolves and I thought…Ah-Ha! Success. But, I still had
issues with the story that I had to work out.
When the first of the ROAR books began to
be released, and I read Mischief Mongrels and Mayhem and Phoenix Rising, and I
knew I wanted to be a part of the series.
So, I reinvented Cameo and Quade.
Cameo became an early 20-something college
student. Her and her father have a good relationship, even if she didn’t want
to take over for him or want the same life as him. Felicia is still her best
friend and they attend Washington State University. And on the day the story
begins, Fe is looking for an adventure, one her and Cameo will never forget.
Quade still works for Cameo’s father,
Drake Cruz, Alpha and President of the Sentinels. He’s an enforcer and would do
everything for Cameo, but he keeps himself apart from her. He knows she is his
mate, but he won’t give into the pull. He’s loyal to a fault when it comes to
Drake, and he is also twelve years older than Cameo, which is a big obstacle
his has to overcome. But, one call from 555-ROAR and he’s trying to keep
himself apart from the old feelings which creep up between them.
How will our unlikely duo fair?
Well,
you’ll just have to read Craving Cameo to find out.
Blurb:
The daughter of the Sentinels pack and MC Alpha,
Cameo Cruz moved across country to escape her pack—and the wolf she can never
have. Making a new life, she embraced her freedom and went to school. One
partying night with her best friend shatters her bubble of safety, and she’s
forced to do the one thing she swore she never would…ask for help.
Quade
Rainwater lives for his pack and the life the Sentinels Alpha gave him when he
took him in. He’d do anything for them, even cut himself off from the she-wolf
he’s loved for as long as he’s known her. When all hell breaks loose and
someone puts a bounty on his girl, Quade will cross the country to protect her.
Unfortunately for him, he’s the last person she wants to see. All he has to do
is keep her safe from the bounty hunters, the locals, and himself….
