Whitney Steel Novels: Interview with a Villain – Nathan Shaw #books #characters

Meet Nathan Shaw from Reflection, Retribution and Resurrect. Let’s get started with the interview.

What one word best describes you?

Nathan: “Distinct.“

What are you passionate about these days?

Nathan: “What I have been passionate about most of my life. Genetics and cloning. I do not understand why people recoil at the idea of human copies—healthy manufactured humans.“

You were one of the first companies to clone animals almost thirty years ago. Would you consider cloning humans?

Nathan: “Of course if it was legal in this country. Hopefully, it will be one day.“

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

Nathan: “I was Las Vegas Man of the Year six years running and made the cover of Time magazine twice.“

You just won a huge lottery what is the first thing you’d buy?

Nathan: (Glances at the wall clock) “Apparently, you haven’t done any background on me. If Miss Steel was conducting this interview, at least she would have done her homework first. I own ShawBioGen, a seventy-five billion dollar Biotech company. The last thing I need is money.”

Who should play you in a film?

Nathan: “John Malkovich. Brilliant actor. I heard he gave a stellar performance portraying serial killer, Jack Unterweger, on stage in Vienna.“

Who is your favorite author?

Nathan: “Elmore Leonard. I enjoy his realism writing style.“

Do you play any sports?

Nathan: “No, I run a couple miles daily to keep in shape.“

What would we find under your bed?

Nathan: (Glances at the clock again) “If you are going to continue with this silly line of questioning, we are done here.”

Ok, then…what is something you want people to know about you?

Nathan: That I have done a lot of good in my life. I’ve donated millions of dollars a year to food banks and homeless shelters around the country and will continue to do so. I’ve also put millions into healthcare and scientific research.“

Tell us about your greatest achievement.

Nathan: “There have been so many but I can’t discuss my greatest at this point. Instead I will say…developing medications that cure diseases and improve lives. In particular, genetic illnesses and recessive disorders that devastate families. Apparently, you didn’t read my company’s press kit. You really do remind me so much of the lovely, Miss Steel.”

What was the scariest moment of your life?

Nathan: “When my sister died of Menkes Syndrome, a dreadful disorder that affects copper levels in the body, leading to copper deficiency and extensive neuro-degeneration of the brain and eventual death. Like most children with Menkes, they die within the first decade of life, usually infancy, as Katherine did. She’s the reason I began my research work into genetic disorders.“

Is there a piece of advice that you have received that has really stuck with you? If so, what was it?

Nathan: “The first rule of business. Employees are replaceable.”

If you could apologize to someone in your past, what would you say?

Nathan: I don’t apologize. I have nothing to apologize for. I do, however, have a message for FBI agent, Blake Neely, and the lovely, Miss Steel.”

And what’s that?

Nathan: “Don’t get too comfortable…you are replaceable.”

That sounds like a threat.

Nathan: (Smiles)

Kindle edition published May 29th 2013

“Where’s my wife…”

Andy Friessen has been looking for Laura for six months. After she walked out with her son, no goodbye, with no money and leaving everything he bought her, behind. But he knew she’d come crawling back, she needed him. After all he married her to protect her. And any woman would give their right arm to be his wife.

And then for six months his conscience poked at what an ass he’d been: Until he’s served…for divorce.

Even though Andy is the first man she’s every truly loved, and the first to break her heart, Laura plans to never see him again. After all to him she was nothing but a nuisance, someone he could order around, just another woman to warm his bed at night.

But Laura is hurt and she’s thought nothing through including the fact she’s keeping the biggest surprise from him yet.

She’s pregnant.

And when Andy finds out … all hell will break loose.

Amazon

     Just watching the scene had something disturbing squeezing
deep inside her. It wasn’t sudden; it had crept up throughout the day and
through each second that Andy had spent with Gabriel tonight. He could be the
perfect father, the perfect man and role model for her son. She cleared her
throat but nearly choked when she whispered, “Goodnight, Gabriel. Have a good
sleep.”

     This was all so confusing. What did Andy want? Why hadn’t he
left, and why was he taking such an interest in Gabriel? Her throat felt all
scratchy and tight, but that was only because she wanted to tuck her face in
the pillow and cry those thousand tears she’d cried almost every night for
Andy. All she’d ever wanted was to be loved.

     What he’d done today was horrible, cruel, and she wanted to
scream and yell “Why?” He had stayed, caring for her tonight and today at the
hospital in a way that made her feel important, special, but she also knew she
wasn’t any of that to him, not in the way she wanted to be. It was the babies.
She was just the vessel, a warm cocoon for a rich man’s babies, and that was
something she could not allow herself to forget. He was powerful, he was rich,
and his family was dangerous.

     “Are you all right?” He brushed his finger across her brows.

     “Yeah, fine,” she blurted as she pulled back, her skin
burning from the spark of his touch.

     “You look worried about something, upset.” He was watching
her, studying her as if he knew what she was thinking, and she couldn’t have
that.

     “No, I’m just…” She couldn’t think of what to say when her
brain suddenly blanked out. That always happened when Andy stood so close to
her and watched her with compelling blue eyes that could set her soul on fire,
so she shut her mouth and shook her head.

     He sat right beside her on the bed so his hip pressed into
hers. She knew all too well what those slim hips and tight abs looked like
naked and pressed against her hips, nestled between her thighs. It was almost
too much heat for her, so she squirmed and tried to slide over and away from
him.

     “You all right? You look uncomfortable.”

     He wouldn’t even look away. Uncomfortable, hell yeah. And it
was all his fault. “Just stiff is all.”

     “Can I?” He rested his hand over her swollen belly, where
the babies had been kicking furiously for the last hour.

     He was connecting with her babies. She wanted to scream and
yell at him, “Hell no! Keep your hands off!” but her body was betraying her.
The reality was that she wanted him to touch her, to run his hands over every
square inch of her.

     He didn’t wait for her to say anything, but then, she
couldn’t get her tongue to move. The damn thing had thickened, and her throat
had completed dried up as he invaded her space. My God, he even smelled good,
and his scruffy jaw…she longed to reach up and run her hands over it.

     His touch sent shockwaves through her, and the babies
responded in kind. She’d swear they jumped from his touch, as if they knew that
Andy was their daddy. He smiled that charming, boyish grin she’d only seen a
few times. Never once had he smiled just for her.

     “Wow, that’s amazing. Did you feel that?”

     For a moment, she felt herself being pulled into his joy,
just like a little boy’s first Christmas, but she had to look away, to move
away from his touch, because she’d never again be treated as if she was nothing.
Andy Friessen could turn on a dime, and she’d never play second again. “Yeah, I
did. Listen, I’m tired.” She scooted over and lifted his hand off her belly.
She couldn’t look at him even though she could feel the sharp change in him as
if she’d just ripped away all his joy. So why was she feeling guilty? She
wasn’t the bad guy here.

2012 was an amazing year in the publishing world for me, and it started with The Forgotten Child, which landed on the Amazon bestseller list for western romance and romance series. With the publication of each novel and short story, each one made its way to the top ten for its respective genre. 2013 has seen me posted in the top 100 authors on Amazon for romantic suspense and mystery/thrillers, police procedural.

Where did it all begin? In 2008, I published my first novel, The Captain’s Lady, a contemporary military romance, through The Wild Rose Press. This year I have a crazy writing schedule with four books scheduled for release and six short stories.

I write three genres, edgy romantic suspense (Walk the Right Road Series), western romance (Finding Love ~ The Outsider Series), and young adult mystery, and I warn my readers to expect the unexpected. I’m the mother of three children, one a special needs child. We live on a small Island in the Pacific Northwest, where I advocate for the environment and the rights of special needs children. Somewhere in my busy schedule, I do find time to write. I encourage you to contact me by email; I do answer every email I receive.

Stay tuned. There is more to come from the Walk the Right Road Series and Finding Love ~ The Outsider Series.

And to my readers and all of you who have shared my stories with your family and friends, a big heartfelt thank you.
