When another young woman turns up dead and the victim is linked to Derrick Lynn, son of the Secretary of Defense, Victory finds Derrick has all the right answers and is a little too helpful.
Derrick has a secret: He’s a government assassin who uses his unusual paranormal skills to eliminate targets. Determined to keep his own secrets buried, he offers to help find The Wrapper.
But can Victory trust him?
As the body count rises, Victory must cross a dangerous line–into a world of government cover-ups, murder, and betrayal–a decision that will test her limits. And everything she believes in.

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)

“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.

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.”

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.

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

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.

He wouldn’t even look away. Uncomfortable, hell yeah. And it

He didn’t wait for her to say anything, but then, she

and his scruffy jaw…she longed to reach up and run her hands over it.

His touch sent shockwaves through her, and the babies

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.
Fan Appreciation ~ 50% off Award-winning romantic suspense, REFLECTION
Because I appreciate each and every one of you, I’m thrilled to offer REFLECTION at almost 50% off the regular price! If you are looking for a hot summer read, now is the time!
