About the Book:
Bad boy Zane Wolfe has always
been wild and reckless. Even though he’s hot for his high school sweetheart,
Candi Brooks, settling down has never been in his plans. Beyond that, he’s
changing in strange ways—and begins to wonder if there's truth to the local
folklore that claims his family is cursed to be werewolves...
There's never been a time when
waitress Candi didn't have a serious weakness for Zane and his intense, dark
sex appeal. She craves him. But after her life changes dramatically, and Zane
won’t commit, Candi’s reached her limit. She can't wait forever...so she's
taking her heart off the table before it gets good and broken.
Something mysterious is going on
in Wolfe Creek, and danger stalks Candi. Zane will do anything he can to
protect her. But the one person she needs protection from might just be him…
Spotlight
Excerpt-Hunter of Her Heart
Candi turned to
see a single headlight blazing toward her on the street. Scowling, she shoved
her hands in her pockets and turned back around, picking up her pace.
The bike pulled
up alongside her, its rider dragging one boot along the pavement.
“Hey, baby.”
“Don’t hey baby
me, you son of a bitch.”
“I take it
you’re mad."
Candi glared at
the sidewalk ahead, refusing to look over. “Why would you think that?”
“Because you
only call me names when we’re fighting or having sex. And we’re not having
sex.”
“Go to hell,
Zane.”
“Hey!” He pulled
the bike up to the curb and cut the engine. She walked faster, her purse
slapping her butt as she went.
“Hey!”
Trotting up
behind her, he grabbed her arm.
“Let me go.”
She might as
well have been talking to a brick wall. Communication with Zane wasn’t easy
when there was something he was set on. And right now he was set on her.
That was usually
enough to make her want to step out of her panties and right into his bed. But
not tonight. Tonight she
was ticked,
wanting to level him with one well-placed punch.
“Not until you
talk to me,” he said evenly. He’d brought her to a standstill on the sidewalk,
but she still wouldn’t look at him. He smelled fantastic, but she wasn’t going
to let that sway her either.
Putting two
fingers on her chin, he tried to move her head, but she wasn’t having it. What
she really wanted to do was kick him square in the balls.
“You think you
can just turn on that charm whenever you want, and it’ll get you off the hook?
Is that what you think?”
His fingers
trailed lightly down her throat in response. She trembled, unable to help it.
“I’m sorry.”
“Save it,” she
said, batting his hand away. Then she did look at him. A huge mistake. He was
absolutely gorgeous. His long black hair hung loose next to his face. His dark
eyes glittered
in the light of the street lamp overhead. There was a slight bruising along one
pronounced cheekbone, something she’d normally stand on her tiptoes to kiss. He
wore a faded leather bomber jacket, her favorite. It made him look dangerous.
And she’d always liked that. Until now.
Wrapping her
arms around herself as if to provide some kind of protection, she regarded him
sadly. “How long do
you expect me to
wait for you, Zane? How long is it going to take for you to change?”
His jaw muscles
bunched. The Native American ancestry he shared with his brother Koda had never
been more marked. He looked dark and sexy, and more than a little angry.
About
the Author:
For Kaylie Newell, writing ranks
right up there with the things she loves most in life- falling somewhere behind
her family, but ahead of Bradley Cooper (which says a lot). She fell in lust with the romance genre when
she was about thirteen and began sneaking her mother’s paperbacks from the
bedside table. After acne, college,
marriage and kids, she decided to take a crack at writing one herself. Turned out to be the best adventure she’s
ever taken. When she’s not dreaming up
her next book, she’s usually eating chocolate or walking the family mutt. In that order.

Interview Questions:
If you could please
ask the author to select 5-8 questions they would like to answer. Thanks!
What is your favorite
part of the story, (name of book/series)?
My favorite part of Hunter of Her
Heart would probably be when Zane starts to change physically. He also starts to change emotionally around
this part of the story and becomes a better person.
How long did it take
you to write (name of book)? It took me about four months to write the
story itself, but several more weeks to polish it.
If you were stranded
on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side? Zane! I’d feel super safe with him near.
If you could be best
friends with one of your characters, who would it be?
What inspired you to
write your first book?
What is your favorite
book that you wrote? My favorite book is always the latest one
to come out. I think that’s because I
feel closest to those characters and that world where I spend so much time
getting ready for release day. My heart
is currently in Wolfe Creek with Zane and Candi ;)
Who or what inspired
you to be a writer? My mom was a high school English teacher for thirty years and my dad
was a freelance copy writer while I was growing up. They were definitely the biggest writing
influences I’ve ever had. They encouraged
me to read as much as write, and that was so important in shaping my love of
words.
What books have most
influenced your life?
Who is your favorite
author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
What is your typical
day like?
How do you overcome
writer’s block?
Can you share a little
of your current work with us?
What book are you
reading now? Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
I love her books!
What do you prefer
paperback, hardcover, or ebooks? Paperbacks
will always have a special place in my heart, but ebooks are so darn
convenient. I read at night a lot, and
that light up screen is just the bee’s knees.
Do you have anything
specific that you want to say to your readers?
