It’s been a very busy
year since Goddess of the Hunt was
first released. My brother got married. I got married. My daughter got married.
My family moved into a new home. Around the time of Goddess’s release I had begun work on a full-length manuscript.
Because of all the interruptions, I didn’t finish that MS and begin work on
Paige’s next mission until recently. Clearly, that wasn’t what I had planned,
but hey…that’s life!
To get back into Covert Passion’s world, I pulled up the
playlist I had listened to while writing Goddess
of the Hunt. I quickly realized that Eoin’s effect on Paige has altered her
mindset. She’s going to need to adapt without having that evolution change how
she does her job. A CIA covert operative needs to leave sentimentality at the
door. And I realized that the playlist I have isn’t the music I need. But
before I go foraging in my iTunes library, I thought I’d
share the original playlist with you:
Fiona Apple – Criminal
No Doubt – Just a Girl
Oasis – Wonderwall
The Verve – Bitter Sweet
Symphony
The Cranberries – Linger
Radiohead – Creep
Foo Fighters – Everlong
Audioslave – Like a
Stone
The Toadies – Possum
Kingdom
Lenny Kravitz – Again

hearing the songs, you can find them here http://bit.ly/1K8eO8p
As I was diving back
into Paige’s dangerous, sexy life and trying to decide what music would best
reflect that, I found out that Goddess of
the Hunt would be on sale at Amazon for 99 cents and free at the ARe
bookstore throughout the month of May. That’s exciting. As a friend said, “A
deal and a steal!” Grab your copy of Goddess
of the Hunt, cue up the playlist and enjoy!
Covert Passions
Goddess of the Hunt
by Becky
Flade
Codename Diana
CIA field agent Paige
Aster hides a cunning intelligence and lethal skill behind a mask of golden
beauty. It serves her well as she moves from one undercover assignment to the
next.
Current Mission
Retrieve a stolen United
States military defense program from a terrorist cell in Dublin, Ireland,
before they trade it to Islamic extremists in exchange for munitions. Her only
back up on this time-sensitive mission is a deeply embedded MI-6 operative.
Her Asset
Eoin Fitzpatrick has
sacrificed everyone he holds dear to bring these terrorists to justice. He’ll
sacrifice Diana, too, if she threatens to compromise his mission or his cover.
He has orders to do just that – his agency is only doing hers a favor.
Compromised or Comprising?
Paige expects danger,
but welcomes passion – taking her pleasure where and when it’s offered. She’s
not prepared for the effect Eoin has on her. Or what happens when she
surrenders to him. Paige burns for Eoin but will he leave her burned…
Enjoy the following
excerpt from Goddess of the Hunt:
“Is it done? Do you and
the others in the house bring in sex partners from time to time?” She
straightened and stared at him.
“Yes.” He hissed the
answer.
“I’m travelling; you and
I meet at a pub and go to your place to hook up. It’s simple and happens all
the time. Believable, even.” She thought of Michel and her lips tilted at the
corners. Then, casting her eyes over Eoin, she deliberately arched a brow and
tucked her tongue in her cheek. “Well, for most people, anyway.”
His lips thinned and the
muscles in his cheek ticked as he worked to control the flare of temper. It
delighted her. “Fine, we’ll do it your way.” Eoin pushed himself from the chair
he’d been perched on and nearly charged for the door. “I’ll be here at
seven-thirty tomorrow morning, be ready.”
Paige grabbed his arm as
he passed her. “What are you so worked up about? If it goes wrong, you can just
leave me hanging and you know it. This costs you nothing, Paddy-boy; it’s my
ass on the line.”
He grabbed her shirt and
pushed her against the closet door. She didn’t fight it and he had his mouth on
her in seconds. His tongue delved and demanded she respond; she arched up into
the kiss. Delight, desire, and anger thrummed through her as she both succumbed
and made demands of her own. His hands molded to her hips and pinned her
between the hard planes of his body and the wall behind her. Then he abruptly
pulled away. They stood inches apart; the air crackled around them. Their gazes
locked. He opened his mouth, then shook his head and left without a word.
Tie score.
