Historical Romance / Romantic Suspense
Date Published: 7/11/2015
When her son’s life is threatened, Anissa, Marchioness of Overton, seeks refuge by sailing to America. Before the ship reaches the high seas, sparks fly between her and Captain Alex Hawks. Although the young widow may be lonely, and afraid, she cannot risk the diversion a romantic entanglement could bring, no matter how much she wants to lose herself in the captain’s embrace.
The Captain vows to protect the young Lord Overton, but can offer no assurance that the marchioness will leave his ship with her virtue intact. Alex is drawn to Anissa’s beauty and courage, as a hummingbird is to the nectar of a flower. How long can he fight a losing battle before he surrenders and makes her his own?
Will Alex be able to keep this remarkable woman and her child safe? Will his passion for Anissa be enough or will their differences keep them apart?
#1 – Do You See Writing as a Career?
I definitely do! It’s a career that I am passionate about.
There is nothing more exciting than finishing a scene that moves me to tears. I
still recall the exhilarating feeling when I received the print copy of my
first book in the mail. When I am enmeshed in a new project, I wake up each
morning anxious to get back to my keyboard and can write from dawn to dark,
even into the night if the words are flowing. Writing is a career that I will
be working at until I am no longer in this world.
#2 – What was the Hardest Part of Your Writing Process?
There are days when the words just will not come. It happens
to all writers at times. What I do when it happens is take a break and read a
good book. Some of my best inspiration comes when I am reading!
#3 – Did you have any One Person Who Helped You Out with
Your Writing Outside of Your Family?
Yes. I’ve been quite fortunate that several authors have
taken me under their wing and helped me with the craft of writing. Two people
come to mind immediately. Carolynn Sue Carey helped me tremendously in the
early part of my career. Sue writes historical romance set in the Regency
period and her knowledge of the period helped me immensely. KaLyn Cooper is one
of my critique partners. She writes romantic suspense and her insight for
writing action scenes has been invaluable.
#4 – What is next for your writing?
Presently, I am doing research for the third book in my
Honorable Rogue series. Lady Overton’s Perilous Journey is the first book in
this series. The second story, Miss Kathleen’s Scandalous Baron is written, and
I’m working with a critique partner to get it reading for publication in
January 2016.
#5 – Do you have an addiction to reading as well as writing?
If so, what are you currently reading?
I certainly do! In fact, I have to be careful that my
reading doesn’t interfere with my writing. I usually read one book on my Kindle
and listen to another audio book at the same time. I read anywhere from 2 to 5
books a week, based on my writing schedule. Presently, I’m reading The Wetherby
Brides series by Jerrica Knight-Catania. I just started book 4. I also recently
finished Grey by E.L. James and absolutely loved it!

Vikki Vaught started her writing career when a story invaded her mind and would not leave.
Over the last few years, she has written more than a half dozen historical romances and is presently working on her next. Her newest release, Lady Overton’s Perilous Journey, published by Secret Cravings Publishing is the first book in her Honorable Rogue series.
Vikki loves a "Happily Ever After", and she writes them in her stories. While romance is the central theme of all her books, she includes some significant historical event or place in all her novels.
While all her books are love stories, she has also written short contemporary sweet romances as Vikki McCombie and erotic romances using the pen name of V.L. Edwards.
For the last decade, Vikki has lived in the beautiful foothills of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee with her beloved husband, Jim, who is the most tolerant man in the world to put up with her when she is in a writing frenzy. When she is not writing or working her day job, you’ll find her curled up in a comfortable chair reading her Kindle, lost in a good book with a cup of tea at her side.

Deletenice interview and I like the blurb. He sounds like an honorable man.
ReplyDeleteAlex is a fierce protector, a loving father and wants love, but just doesn't know it for a while. Hope you enjoy Kady Overton's Perilous Journey!

ReplyDeleteI had so much fun writing Anissa and Alex's love story. Loved the research I did!
DeleteThis book looks great!!
ReplyDeleteThe way that it is set around a captain of the seas.
ReplyDeleteAlex is a great hero, honorable and loyal, yet still with a bit of the rogue!
DeleteWhat intrigues me t emost about this book is that it's an historical/suspense romance book. I read both historicals and suspense books but never had the pleasure of reading a book with both in it.
