Hi Rachel,
Thank you so much for having me as your guest today J
I really loved writing this book, mainly because of James!
Last November my second novel, ‘Riding High’ was released and James was one of
the secondary characters in it.
Although he only had a minor (but sexy) part to play, he was a big hit –
lots of people got in touch asking when he was going to get his own story.
Although I’d not intended having a linked book, I couldn’t
help it. James is dark, brooding and enigmatic, and obviously his story had to
be told. So, thank you to all those readers who got in touch!
I obviously knew all about James, the pain in his past, the
hurt that had made him switch off emotionally, and I knew it would take a very
special kind of girl to get him to open up. Kezia is just that! I won’t say too
much, but she’s the perfect antidote – a free-spirit, she’s been hurt but she’s
fighting back, and she’s as open and giving as James is controlled.
A brief word of warning – this book isn’t about BDSM, the
one thing James has shut out of his life for ever. But it is about sensual
surrender, letting go and giving in… I will let you read on to discover the
rest!

SUMMER
OF SURRENDER an erotic romance by Zara Stoneley. Published by HarperImpulse a
division of Harper Collins Publisher.
Sex is the only thing they have in common. Total surrender the name of the game.
James had it all. Good education. City job and a wife he would have been willing to die for. Their motto had been work hard, play hard, but she’d pushed the boundaries too far and he’d walked. Became the man he felt he needed to be. Detached. In control.
Free spirit Kezia lives each day at a time; sharing, loving and giving are unconditional. And sex is part of the sharing.
When fate leaves James and Kezia trapped together for the summer, her openness is an invitation he just can’t resist. The attraction is instant, the sex all-consuming. And as their fantasies become reality, James begins to realise that willing surrender is a far different pleasure to forced submission…

EXCERPT
He bent his head
and kissed her. Just one light kiss on those cute rosebud lips, and it drenched
his senses with her smell and her need. He didn’t mean to do it. He shouldn’t
have done it. But there was something in her, and James didn’t know what the
hell it was, but it had just dragged him right in where he didn’t want to go.
He’d not had a
sweet kiss for a long time. Not since Chloe had gone. And he hadn’t intended on
doing it again.
She eased her grip
on the fork just like he knew she would, half turned in his arms, stared at him
with need, and moved her hands up to his chest.
Fuck. He let go of
the pitchfork like it was molten metal and took a step back. Why the hell had
he done that? He hadn’t exactly banned kisses from his life, when he moved out
here, but he’d firmly limited them. The platonic kiss on the cheek and the
passionate kiss during sex. He liked the taste of a woman just before she came,
her kiss told him far more than her words ever did.
This was neither.
She was still in
the same spot, swaying slightly, a quizzical expression on the face that had
been clear.
‘That didn’t
happen. I’ll get another fork.’
‘Sure.’ Her tone
was light, but more confused than hurt.
There was a fork
across the yard, but he didn’t pick it up. He gritted his teeth and walked to
the bottom of the row of stables, took a breath and wondered why the hell he
had a raging hard on and why the hell he’d let himself touch her. More than
that, kiss her.
It was that look
of innocence probably, a look he found hard to resist. She was a mixture of
tease and doubt, of the unconventional and a need to fit the norm. But he
wasn’t here to reassure her, to teach her. He picked up the heaviest pitchfork
he could see and strode back, wielding it like a weapon. A harder workout might
help. This girl was not staying round, she was going before they’d got to the
end of the day if he had anything to do with it.
I’ve been writing stories for just about as long as I’ve been reading them – it’s rumoured that I’m related to Elizabeth Gaskell, so maybe it’s in the genes!
I live in a country cottage in the UK with a naughty mouse catching, curtain climbing cat, my wonderful guitar playing, video making, Minecraft mad teenage son and a wine drinking, sun loving, master chef in the making, sexy alpha hero.
I love my family, sexy high heels, sunshine, wine, good food, cats, horses, dogs, music, coffee, writing and reading - but not necessarily in that order! And I like my heroes just how I like my coffee – hot, strong and moreish.
