315. Intercepted with Alexa Martin

Today I get to chat with a debut author, Alexa Martin, about her upcoming book, Intercepted, which comes out on the 11th of September.

Intercepted is very much inspired by her own life as the spouse of an NFL player, and by her affectionate love of Real Housewives, and her very real friends from various NFL team communities. We talk about her start in Pitch Wars, her rewrites of the original story, and her own experiences which found their way into the book. We talk about being an NFL wife and get a behind-the-scenes account of what that’s like, and we go into one of my favorite parts of her book: her fantasy nightclub/bar for women (which I wish was real, you have no idea). A lot of our discussion is about friendship, especially the ways her friendships influenced the foundation of Intercepted, and influenced the characters that surround her heroine, Marlee.

Wind River Lawman

This week’s podcast is brought to you by Wind River Lawman by Lindsay McKenna.

Former Navy medic Dawson Callahan thought he left the war behind him when he settled into the wide-open spaces of Wind River Valley in Wyoming. After serving as a Navy medic, Dawson Callahan is back in the States and ready to start over. Leaving his native Texas, he heads for the wide open spaces of Wyoming, where he finds work as a wrangler. True, he’ll mainly be wrangling chickens—and wrangling Sarah Carter’s granny, who’s still spry, but in need of a little caregiving. But ranch work is ranch work, and it’s hard to turn down a job offer from the beautiful Sheriff Carter—especially when she deputizes him as one of her lawmen.

Sarah loves her grandmother, but with her law enforcement career keeping her busy, they could both use some help from a strong, steady man. And policing Lincoln County has only gotten tougher since a merciless drug lord arrived in the area. When Sarah takes a bullet on the job, it’s Dawson who comes to her rescue—and though they both thought they left war behind in Afghanistan, they’ll do whatever it takes to protect what’s theirs, even if it means facing down traumas they’ve buried for years. Because love isn’t for the faint of heart.

Wind River Lawman from bestselling author Lindsay McKenna is on sale now wherever books are sold and at KensingtonBooks.com

Undue Influence

Today’s podcast transcript is sponsored by Undue Influence by Jenny Holiday. This male/male retelling of Persuasion will appeal to Jane Austen fans but can also be enjoyed by those allergic to the nineteenth century.

Celebrity chef Freddy Wentworth has begrudgingly returned to the town of his youth, where his sister has bought a down-at-heels vineyard in a foreclosure auction. Adam Eliot is crushed that the family vineyard has been lost, and heartbroken when the sale forces him confront the biggest mistake he ever made—forsaking Freddy, his first and only love.

As a young man, Adam was too easily swayed by his status-obsessed family and by his best friend Rusty, who thought Freddy wasn’t good enough for him.

This slow-burn romance contains a yippy dog named Mr. Collins, wine slushies, and a serious dose of angst. For more information and a two-chapter excerpt, visit jennyholiday.com/undueinfluence.
