I don’t necessarily go into
writing a book thinking “This one is going to push all sorts of boundaries!”
Sometimes it just happens that way. That’s how BETTING ON FATE came about. It’s a
sequel to MISTAKEN BY FATE, which was the hottest thing I’d written to date,
and I’d set up the hero’s twin as more when it comes to kink and sexy
good times.
Confession—I have wanted to
write a threesome for ages and ages and ages. I knew as soon as I started BETTING ON FATE that I was going to
petition to have one included in this story. The only problem was that
something like that hadn’t been done before with Brazen. There was no
precedent.
There are a lot of rules that
come with writing category, the main of which is that the hero and heroine are
only with each other through the entirety of the book. So how does one go about
slipping a third person in, even for a single scene?
I think there are multiple
ways that one could go about it, but the route I chose was basically to treat
the third person like a sex toy that’s been brought in specifically for that
scene. And that’s how I had the heroine look at it—this third person (she’s
blindfolded at the time) is an extension of the hero’s Will, rather than an
entity in his own right. He comes in, he has some fun, and then he slips away.
The focus is still on the hero and the heroine and what they’re getting
out of the scene.
Good lord, it was hot!
And, best of all, I got to
keep it! Not going to lie, I totally danced around my living room singing
“Threesome Achievement Unlocked!” My husband thought I was nuts, but
that’s nothing new. He’s rather tolerant of the eccentricities that come with
being married to a writer.
BETTING ON FATE was one of the more difficult books I’ve written because of the way it pushed boundaries, personally and otherwise, and it was so much fun to bring Will and Penelope’s story to life. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

BETTING ON FATE
This time, all bets are off…
Penelope Carson loves to steal clients from Will Reaver. Yet
something in her business nemesis’s icy blue eyes makes Penelope…nervous. It
certainly doesn’t help that the man is the living embodiment of a Norse god. A
controlled, powerful Norse god. Which she really should have remembered before
she made a bet with him—because losing means becoming Will’s personal
submissive for a week.
There’s nothing Will would like more than to have Penelope
kneeling before him in complicit submission, her fiery dark eyes inviting him
in. Challenging him. But their bet takes Will and Penelope deeper than either
of them have ever been. Where control is an illusion, and boundaries are pushed
aside. And where hearts become the stakes in a game that neither Dominant nor
submissive can win…
