About the Book
Bad boy Zane Wolfe has always been wild and reckless. Even
though he’s hot for his high school sweetheart, Candi Brooks, settling down has
never been in his plans. Beyond that, he’s changing in strange ways—and begins
to wonder if there's truth to the local folklore that claims his family is
cursed to be werewolves...
There's never been a time when waitress Candi didn't have a
serious weakness for Zane and his intense, dark sex appeal. She craves him. But
after her life changes dramatically, and Zane won’t commit, Candi’s reached her
limit. She can't wait forever...so she's taking her heart off the table before
it gets good and broken.
Something mysterious is going on in Wolfe Creek, and danger
stalks Candi. Zane will do anything he can to protect her. But the one person
she needs protection from might just be him…

Let’s Interview!
What inspired you to write this book?
The small mountain town where Hunter of Her Heart takes
place is based on a real town in Southern Oregon near where I live. There’s a historic inn there that inspired
the Wolfe Creek Inn in the book. I was
driving up to Portland with my girlfriend one night, and while we were stuffing
our faces with junk food, we came up with all kinds of “what if”
questions. What if we ran out of gas
there (it’s very secluded and a little creepy).
What if someone were to just vanish into thin air? And the best question of them all- what if
the town was harboring a dark secret and an even darker legend? :-) …And Hunter of Her Heart was born.
How did you come up with the title?
Zane Wolfe has been hot for his high school girlfriend for
years. He’s always been a bad boy,
totally uninterested in settling down.
But as Zane’s family curse begins to take hold, things start changing
for him not only physically, but emotionally as well. His hopes and dreams for the future begin
taking a different shape, and he realizes that he’s got a lot of making up to
do in order to win the heart of the woman he loves.
If you could spend an hour in real life with one of your
characters, who would it be and why?
Zane! He’s pretty
foxy, so that doesn’t hurt ;) He rides a
vintage Honda motorcycle that I wouldn’t mind taking a spin on (if I got to sit
behind him, of course). He’s funny,
sexy, dark, intense, but he also has a sweet side that’s a turn-on. And he’s vulnerable. Deep down, Zane Wolfe wants to be saved. He just doesn’t know how to go about it.
Did you enjoy writing one scene above all the rest? If so,
share.
A big part of this book is how Zane deals with becoming what
everyone thinks of as a “monster”. One
of my favorite scenes is where he’s trying to find a little boy who’s lost in
the woods. This scene softens him a
little. From the little boy’s
perspective, Zane is just big and strong.
Nothing to be scared of. It’s a
tender scene and one that I hope will connect readers to this hero on a deeper
level.
Are you currently working on another story? If so, we’d love
some details.
I am! I just finished
up the third book in the Wolfe Creek Series, which I’m waiting for edits on as
I type this. I’m also about a quarter of
the way into another paranormal romance where the heroine works in a funeral
home and can see the future. I’m loving
this one so far!
Tell us about your favorite writing environment. Is it
indoors, outdoors, a special room, etc.
I usually write on my bed with the help of two cats and a
little dog who’s pretty cute, but who’s also pretty gassy, so it’s
problematic. I also write in coffee
shops. Starbucks is my favorite- not
because of the environment, but because of the cake pops, which let’s face it,
are more important than a window with a view.
How long have you been writing? How long have you been
published?
I’ve been writing since I was teeny tiny. But I didn’t start writing to get published
until about seven years ago. I entered
some contests and started winning a few.
Then the book seed was planted, and there wasn’t a whole lot of looking
back. I’ve been published since 2012 and
have written six books, two novellas and three short stories for
anthologies. This author gig is the most
fun I’ve ever had. J
About the Author
For Kaylie Newell, writing ranks right up there with the
things she loves most in life- falling somewhere behind her family, but ahead
of Bradley Cooper (which says a lot).
She fell in lust with the romance genre when she was about thirteen and
began sneaking her mother’s paperbacks from the bedside table. After acne, college, marriage and kids, she
decided to take a crack at writing one herself.
Turned out to be the best adventure she’s ever taken. When she’s not dreaming up her next book,
she’s usually eating chocolate or walking the family mutt. In that order.
