Meet Jonathan

Excerpt from chapter ten:
 

When Jonathan first approached her, all of Kathryn’s anger melted away. 

 

He looked at her warmly, as if she were a long-lost daughter. He then enveloped her in a gentle embrace as he said, “It is so good to finally meet you, Kathryn.” 

 

His voice was as warm as his gaze—buttery, rich, and soothing. He was tall, not as tall as Charge but taller than Kathryn. His salt-and-pepper hair hinted at his age, as did the slight grooves on his forehead and the lines at the corners of his eyes. Overall, however, his face had a very youthful glow about it as though he were still full of the vigor and stamina of a much younger man. His curious, inquisitive light brown eyes scanned Kathryn’s face as if to take her in. 

 

He then flashed a very charming smile and patted her shoulder. “So very good to meet you.” 

 

Charge and Susan were right. She did like him. 

Jonathan is very good at running the Underground Deviant Network in LA. What does that mean? You'll find out in A Deviant Beginning. I'm still looking for ARC readers!

ARC readers will receive a copy of A Deviant Beginning on Friday, August 14th. You'll also receive first access to a bonus spicy scene I had to cut because I had too many (as if it's possible to have too many sex scenes!). The ARC acceptance email will also include graphics to help with social media promotion, and I'll be raffling off ten signed copies of the paperback, so a select few of you will be able to hold Kathryn in your hands!

ARC acceptance emails go out every Tuesday and Friday, so if you apply, make sure you check your email to see if you are chosen. Oh, and whitelist hello@elisabethroseland.com to make sure my emails don't get flagged as spam.

 

As a heads up, I'll be sending newsletters more frequently from now until launch day, They'll include character spotlights, juicy snippets from the novel, musings on how I came up with Kathryn and the world she lives in, and much more. So stay tuned!

Question of the week!

I'm starting a new segment called “Question of the Week.” I would love it if you would answer my question in a email. Send it to me at hello@elisabethroseland.com.
