I have a
ton of reasons for loving and writing milrom. Some of them stem from family and friends who serve, some
because I think that men and women who will sacrifice themselves to protect me
are a special breed of person and that fascinates me. I really enjoy the genre and the testosterone, alphaness,
adrenaline rush that goes with it.
And even
though I write across genres (straight romantic suspense, paranormal romance, erotica
PNR and most recently, new adult) all my main characters have some link to the
military. My immortal Dire Wolves,
for example, have all served in the military in some form or another
since…well, for centuries J
So when I
started thinking about writing my newest release, Defiance,
I knew I wanted it to center around a motorcycle club. I mean, that part of the story came to
me instantly (because that’s another thing you’ll pretty much find in all my
books—someone’s always riding a Harley) but for me, the most important part of
that equation was making the MC truly military based. From what I’ve read, many of the earliest MCs were born from
vets returning from war. The clubs
allowed them to ride for pleasure (something many of them learned to do in the
military) and gave them a sense of brotherhood, while also giving them their
adrenaline rush back.
Defiance is a post apocalyptic New Adult MC
book (and yes, that’s a mouthful) – and the Defiance MC was founded by Navy
submariners who were also doomsday preppers before that became a hot reality TV
topic. It was important to me to have most of the men in the club as
having served at one point or another—I think it gives the club a unique
perspective and probably makes them better equipped to survive and thrive
through what I’ve dubbed the Chaos.
So today,
I’m going to give away 2 copies of Defiance
(either Kindle or Nook, since I can gift from there!) –to be eligible, just
tell me the last book you read!
I’ll leave the contest open all day and pick winners in the morning!

Defiance: (Defiance Book 1)
Rebelling against her
legacy as the MC's princess, Tru
Tennyson escaped the ruthless, male-dominated culture of the
Defiance motorcycle club. Three years later, her newfound freedom is ripped
away, thanks to a massive hybrid storm that killed millions. Now, in the
post-Chaos world of semi-darkness and near-total anarchy where gangs rule, she
discovers the dangerous world of Defiance may be the one thing that can keep
her safe.
Tru is at the MC's
mercy when she's dragged back to her former home … and to the only man she's
ever pictured a future with. Caspar is
the bastard son of the club's leader, her safe haven when life got rough — and
her onetime lover the night she left. When Tru refuses to trade sex for power
and be claimed by a rival club leader, she also dares to announce she wants
Caspar instead, throwing the MC into turmoil.
Tru's brazen revolt could start
a gang war and destroy the club from within. Now both Tru and the MC must wait
for Caspar's response… and the inevitable fallout.
