The first thing you need to know is that I love spy novels and movies. So
naturally I had to come up with, Delta Star, my own clandestine agency. It was a
bit like going on an undercover mission creating my own super-secret black ops
world and I loved every minute of it. Of course the agents had to be pure ice.
Condor earned his reputation by being Delta Starβs ultimate secret agent.
Heβs untouchable, unstoppable, and he always nails his targets. But no matter
how many times heβs saved the world, heβs a ghost who will never take credit. He
works best alone, and to continue to protect his country, heβll stay alone.
Some of my books start with an opening line that tantalizes me until I write
it down and others begin with a general, I wonder what would happen if I⦠idea.
BOUND TO SERVE, was born
after a marathon 007 and Jason Bourne viewing weekend. Hubby also loves them you
see.
The book is set on a lush tropic island because I truly love the Caribbean.
Sparkling water, warm sand beaches, and balmy breezes, whatβs not to like. Best
of all those hot tropic nights can lead to all sorts of romantic entanglements.
Toss in a private resort where passion is always on the menu and a dangerous
mission where star crossed partners have to contend with the enemy and their own
inner demons to survive and it just doesnβt get any better for me. Iβm now
trying to talk my hubby into jetting off to a secluded isle, purely for research
of course.
I always did like my heroes a little dirty so I couldnβt make Condor too
squeaky clean. Besides, bad boys are much more fun. I wrote my ghost agent the
way I saw him flaws and all. Heβs called in when other agents screw up. He
doesnβt make friends; thatβs not his purpose.
Ross Longtree, code named Condor, leaned back in his chair. A flash of heat
hit him hard as he watched the feisty, buttoned-up redhead react to his
presence. Oh, yeah, her reputation as a ballbuster was true. He could read it in
her defiant green eyes. He shifted in his chair, uncomfortable and annoyed with
the way she made him feel. She shouldnβt be able to make him feel anything at
all. βYouβre ice, damn it, fucking act like it.β He was very good at keeping
people at armβs length. It was what kept him safe, and more, what made him the
lone wolf able to protect people from the shadows. But his skills seemed to
vanish when he looked at herβand she looked right back. The godawful suit she
wore did nothing to hide the curves underneath. And that fire in her eyes. Most
women crumbled beneath his touch, eager to be dominated and consumed. But
Bridget? If she wanted him to subdue her, sheβd make him fight for it. The
thought set every nerve in his body on fire. βSheβs not for you, stupid, and you
sure as hell donβt deserve her.β His hand closed over the antique gold band in
his pocket anyway, and he fingered the emblem of his dominance.
She rose as Condor stepped her way, and she stared him down. Most men backed
down from her fierce, take-no-prisoners, glare. Condor didnβt even blink.
Now theyβre on a mission to infiltrate a dangerous criminal organization and
capture Perez. Itβs up to Condor to keep this beautiful, determined agent out of
harmβs way, and to keep their explosive passion contained long enough not to
risk their coverβ¦and their lives.
Iβm author Julie Castle. Iβm a natural born romantic with a modicum of
artistic talent that I inherited from my mom and a love for telling tall tales
that I got from my dad. I guess that set me up for being a starving artist, the
biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. Iβm so glad that I chose the
latter.
I've always had a love affair with the written word. As a child
growing up in a small town I loved visiting the local library, a converted
gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old
mansion could be a spooky place but I still loved it. I enjoyed poking into
behind the scenes areas I wasn't supposed to venture into. I'm still the same
way which is why I love writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful,
super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny I hope you'll find it in my
books.
