Today I have my spotlight on one of my favorite authors, Kryssie Fortune, who will share an inspiration with us: “We don’t need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and
don’ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is
soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.” — Philip Pullman
Kryssie believes each friendship offers
something totally unique — and irreplaceable. Each friendship
ultimately makes us who we are.
We all know, a
true friend is hard to find. So when you do find one, hang on tight! It
also doesn't hurt to let your best friends know every now and then just
how much they mean to you.
Let me tell you about my
latest book release – Submission, Secrets, and the Soldier.
It’s Book 4 in my Heroes
of Westhorpe Ridge series, and like the previous three, it’s a
stand-alone HEA romance.
Blurb
Luke Roberts, a former
army mechanic, has a new sub. She's shy and inexperienced, but willing. As he
teaches her about sensation play, she fears he'll really hurt her and screams
her safewords at him. Her reaction causes Luke to have a flashback. Although
he's clawing his way back to normal, he suffers from PTSD. Determined to get
well, he contacts a PTSD specialist in Westhorpe Ridge.
Kathryn Johnson has visited a BDSM club three times. When she hooks up with Luke Roberts, he unintentionally terrifies her. She swears off spankings and goes home to Westhorpe Ridge. The last person she expects to see there is Luke Roberts.
Circumstances force them to share an apartment. Can Luke protect her when danger threatens? Or is she just a temporary sub in residence?

Excerpt PG – for an adult book
Inside the dump truck’s hopper, Kathryn screamed as the
car sped toward them. “Farlaise. Straight ahead. We’re sitting ducks.”
Luke gritted his teeth and opened the throttle. The dump
truck sped up. Solid, but not superfast, it trundled along the road. A brick
outhouse came to mind as he headed directly for Farlaise’s car. This was one
game of chicken Luke meant to win. Even if he took a bullet, he’d hold his
course and keep Kathryn safe. “So, junior leaguer, how’s your pitching?”
She tried for a smile, but it turned into a grimace. “I
had one of the team’s lowest earned run averages.”
Luke kept the throttle open wide. The chugging of the
engine grew louder, but he’d told her the dump truck had a top speed of less
than thirty miles an hour. The wind made it feel faster.
He took a deep breath and yelled, “Hooah.
Balls-to-the-wall time. Our dump truck will pulverize their front end. When
you’re near enough, lob one of your Molotov things in their direction. Anything
to keep them off-balance since I might as well have a target on my chest
sitting up here.”
She barely heard him over the engine noise. Adrenaline
shot through her. She shivered with a mix of exhilaration, panic, and
determination. Protecting Luke mattered more than her safety. Her fear level
rose right along with her blood pressure. She could hear her heart race, but
she’d keep the driver distracted. No way would she let Farlaise and his
henchman hurt Luke.
Kathryn peered out the hopper. The henchman had his gun
pointed directly at Luke. No way, buster.
More about Kryssie
Fortune
Kryssie is never seen without her kindle. She reads everything and
anything she can get her hands on. When she discovered hot, sexy reads, she
felt like she’d found her home. The only books she hates are the ones that end
with a cliff hanger or have unhappy endings.
Kryssie tries to set her stories in places she’s explored.
Hopefully, it adds color to her writing. Anything can spark a story idea.
Sometimes she takes liberties though. The North Yorkshire town of Whitby is one
of her favorite places. To keep the details of her imaginary town, Westhorpe
Ridge consistent, she mentally shunted Whitby over the Atlantic and renamed it
Westhorpe Ridge.
When not writing, Kryssie loves to walk on the beach of home town,
Bridlington, or potter in her garden. Popping down to London to see her family
is her favorite thing to do.
Kryssie currently has thirteen books on general release along with
a boxed e-book of the first three Westhorpe Ridge stories. All her stories are
M/ F or M/M/F. All are edited by publishing houses in either the UK or the USA.
While her stories sizzle with sex, plot comes before bed. Life’s always an
adventure going on in Kryssie’s world.
Kryssie loves to hear from readers. Here are her social media
