Character Interview

Dan McVeigh

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Introduce yourself.  What book are you from? Are you the hero, heroine, villain?

Hello ladies! I am Dan McVeigh and I am the hero of the Desires series and the heroine in the fifth book, and may I take this opportunity to thank the wonderful Holly J. Gill for writing our story. (Wink, wink)

What is your nickname?

Dan the man!

 How did you come to your author’s attention?

Honestly, I think I drove her mental, I kept whispering at her for a few years and telling her to write mine and Stacie’s story, as Holly had been routing to write about a sex club, and well she couldn’t resist my charm, or is that my body? (Grins and wags his brows) Anyway, much to my annoyance she chose to write the book from Stacie’s POV and left mine to the end… I mean come on! What was she thinking?

Maybe she was saving the best to last?

Ah, now I like your thinking. (Grins and lifts his brow) I think the truth be known she gave in and felt she was left with no choice.  

Did you give your author a hard time when she was writing your story?

Who me? I would never think about giving Holly a “hard” time at all, (grins cheekily)

Tell us a little bit about Desires?

Desires is an exclusive sex club, where anything goes. A place for you to retreat and act your fantasies alone or with your preference and whatever your kink, there is no judgment, just enjoy.

How did you meet Stacie?

Stacie was a client attending Desires searching for herself and to re-gain her confidence after an abusive relationship with her NOW ex-husband, who had mentally and physically abused her and I was her tutor in helping her re-build her life and get her life back on track.

What did you teach her?

Well, I decided to step very carefully with her not wishing to frighten her off. So, I started Stacie from the beginning in self-touching,getting to know her own body once again and gradually worked her to intimacy.

And Stacie was a paying guest?

Yes, yes she was. She arrived for her first session a one off booked appointment, which I had her touching herself getting to know her sensitive spots, and caressing her chest, and then, much to my shock the following day she had booked a full day with me and well, the session progressed and it became my mission to encourage her to come back and (wags his brows) I wanted to see her again.

You fell in love with her?

I dare not say. (wink)

What do you do for a living?

I will confess at the beginning of the series I worked for a company as a computer geek. And then ended up self-employed with my own computer business, but my recent occupation you need to read the series.

Who is the love of your life?

Stacie Clifford. Never loved anyone else, well apart from my mum. (he chuckles)

What was the first thing you noticed about him/her?

Oh god! Her stunning hazel eyes and then her beautiful lips. She is just breathtaking and I cannot imagine her not being in my life.

What’s your greatest fear?

My greatest fear is losing Stacie especially through the vindictiveness of  Angel and her capabilities of trying to break me and Stacie up, she is a woman scorned and I wish she would learn to back off. That woman is evil and never considers other people’s feelings.

What’s your motto in life?

Enjoy life and be who you want to be.

How do the other characters in your book view you?

The guy next door.

What do you think reader will find interesting about you?

I think the reader will like the way I grew from a boy into a man and how on meeting Stacie I changed, not only that, but I am very charming and have a way with women! But please don’t tell Stacie that. (chuckles adding a wink)

What is the kinkiest thing you’ve ever done?

Are you kidding me? You need to read the books! And even then there were many things I won’t tell Holly! (laughs)

Will we be seeing you in future books?

You never know what the future holds. (wags his brows)

What makes you happy?

I love being with my family, with Stacie whispering sweet nothings to me, watching Stacie sleeping, looking at peace and so beautiful, she takes my breath away!

What makes you mad?

Men who think its ok to mentally and physically abuse a woman. Oh, and selfishness.

Who wears the trousers in your relationship?

(Dan glances over his right shoulder then left, to then lean forward to silently answer) Me, but Stacie will argue.

Aren’t you much younger than Stacie?

I sure am, yep she bagged a toyboy, but then what is age? It’s only a number. (Winks)

Well, Dan, it’s been a delight talking to you!

Well, thank you very much I had great fun.

Excerpt:

May 15, 1816

London, England

 “Edwina Mosley, you are out of your ever-loving mind! We look like…You are dressed as a strumpet and well…I am in breeches. I look far too feminine to be a man!” Mariah Harris scowled and clenched her fists at her sides. This whole plot was idiotic, and if they were not thrown in Newgate, they would certainly end up in Bedlam.

“Yes, of course, dear. I thought you understood our plan from the beginning. It is a sound one, cousin. Once I stop the messenger and beg his assistance, you will sneak out of those bushes and snatch his bag,” Edwina retorted with a drawl. “My sources have informed me that he passes through here every night at the same time. So, we shall not be waiting long.”

How can she be so sure? Mariah gritted her teeth and curled her toes in irritation. “If there was ever a moment I regret, it was telling you about this mess with Crispin. I only meant to find out where he is staying in London and who with. My poor father is convinced he will come back, but if he does, it will only be for food and shelter.” Nothing more. He had successfully made Mariah the largest fool in all of Kent. That blasted scoundrel!

“Mariah, I am positive this plan will work. Once the satchel is in our possession, we will rifle through for anything addressed to Crispin. From there, you will be free to humiliate the stupid sod and carry on with your life. Now, stop being a ninny and go hide. Hurry! I think I hear a horse.”

Mariah wandered into the shrubbery, hoping she did not step on an adder, or even worse, walk through a spider’s web. Good heavens, if papa ever found out I dressed in a man’s riding outfit, he would send me away to a nunnery for certain.

A few moments passed before the sound of a galloping horse approached. The beast slowed his gait by trotting as he grew closer, coming to a halt where Edwina stood next to a wagon.

She pleaded in a tone befitting a damsel in distress, “Please, sir. I am in need of assistance. I implore you. I should have been home hours ago, but the cart…”

“Say no more, miss. I will see what I can do.” the messenger stated plainly. “Should I dare ask how long you have been stranded for?”

“Only for an hour, sir. I am on my way to London and thought to stop in Maidstone for the night.”

When Mariah popped her head out, she spotted the young man climbing down from his mount. Off in the distance, a rickety cart approached, the driver swaying in his seat. Now, we are were done for. Before they had left her shop, Edwina had managed to convince her that this road was not much travelled on after dark. Only the gent delivering messages from the militia in the north would be expected. What were the odds—on this particular night—that another traveler would pass through?

Sliding the sack off his shoulder, the messenger crouched down by the rear wheel of the pony wagon she and her cousin had sabotaged.

Not long after, Mariah heard the trundling of the other cart squeal until it came to a stop. A middle-aged man stumbled out, falling flat on his face. Too foxed to drive successfully, he clearly would not pose a problem to the scenario.

Now is my chance. Mariah leapt out of the bushes and, while everyone was too distracted in aiding the sotted fool, she grabbed the bag before running back to her hiding spot. Only this time, she did not stop. She ran like the devil until she found the meadow in which she had left her own clothing and horse.

Heart racing, she dropped the cap her long hair had been tucked into, kicked off her shoes, and quickly stripped out of the breeches and loose-fitting shirt she wore. Then, she slipped on her cream-colored riding gown and strapped the satchel to the mare, covering it with the blanket she had used to conceal her dress while in disguise.

She wasted no time taking her place in the saddle. Wrapping her cape around her shoulders, she shifted the side so that it hid the blanket as well before riding back to the inn where she planned on meeting with Edwina. It would be a miracle if they were not caught after this ludicrous theft.

The only visual she retained during the trip was the gallows, and it was that image which kept her from slowing her pace. She had never committed a crime before, and this would take the bucket as far as mischief went. Never in all her twenty-one years had she stooped so low. It was unprecedented, outlandish, and completely unforgivable.

Leave it to the man she had foolishly thought she was in love with. No one could drive her to the brink of madness like Crispen. His words meant nothing. In hindsight, his pledge of love and fidelity was meaningless. His ploy to get under her skirts had worked, and now she was ruined.

In return, Mariah would ruin him. And I cannot wait to see his face when he is discovered.

He moved to her right ear, “You are the most beautiful, most desirable woman I think I have ever seen. Your hair is perfection, your lips divine and your body exquisite.” He dropped a kiss on her cheek feeling her shiver with excitement throughout her body. His lips pressed against the earlobe. “Your voice makes me want to fall to my knees and howl at the moon while I worship the perfection that is you.” Dan gripped the lobe with his teeth and licked before releasing it.

Blurb

 

A lone woman…a mysterious stranger…and a secret.

When Daisy Wallace meets Micah, a man of mystery, she is bowled over by an instant attraction. A passionate encounter follows, but he's holding back and Daisy doesn't understand why.

Micah King has been retained by a client to locate the triplet daughters that she gave up for adoption, and he's pretty sure Daisy is the youngest of the girls. He wants to tell Daisy the truth, but before he can he needs to verify that she is indeed the woman he's looking for. He never meant to get involved with her, but she's just so tempting.

When Daisy finds out the truth will she be able to forgive Micah's lie by omission? After all, he's deceived her from the first moment she laid eyes on him, and she's had her fill of deceitful men. And can she forgive the woman who gave her up thirty years ago?

Excerpt

 

“I like it here…with you…in the kitchen.” His words were enunciated slowly as she gripped the edge of the sink, pressing her back into the hardness…it was no good, she couldn’t go back any further.

“Uh-huh.” Daisy cleared her throat, trying to eradicate the huskiness present every time she’d spoke to him this morning.

Micah’s eyes narrowed. “What’s wrong, Daisy?”

“Nothing.” She licked her lips.

“Yes, there is. Are you regretting last night?”

She swallowed, but her throat was bone dry. “Last night.” She sucked in a breath as he stood in front of her and his hands landed on either side of her with a thud, coming to rest on the countertop.

“Have you got a boyfriend?”

She shook her head. “No.”

“Keep it that way.”

“Pardon me.”

“Don’t go looking for one…we have unfinished business.”

She lifted her hands and pushed at his hard chest, which of course was a complete waste of time. “Now look here, you can’t tell me what to do.”

“Yes, I can.” He kissed her hard, short, and succinct, and the power behind it made her knees tremble.

“No, you can’t. If I want to go out and find a man, I will.” She spoke defiantly with her chin held high, but it was lost in the fact that her chin only came up to his chest, and she had to strain further to look him in the eye. Her fingers tingled at the heat emanating from him. The smooth cotton of his shirt was soft to the touch, and his heartbeat was strong as the beat echoed against her fingertips.

“I don’t think so.”

“Excuse me.” She pulled her head back and looked at him.

“Don’t start thinking that you can bed someone else.”

Her cheeks flushed as she tried to push him away. “What the hell? You can’t tell me who I can go to bed with…you hardly know me, and you most certainly don’t have the right.”

“After last night…you do want me, and if I hadn’t stopped we would have been in that bed together. I would’ve made you forget whatever it is that has made you lose your confidence. You’re one of the sexiest, most beautiful women I’ve ever met, and when I do what I have to…I’m going to show you exactly how much I really want you.”

“That’s just arrogant.”

His smile was slow and sexy, and she was pretty sure that had he not been holding her up she would’ve glided to the floor in a stream of unbridled lust. His hardness was pressed against her stomach.

“Arrogant?” He shook his head. “No, that’s not justifying the way I feel, but I’m confident you feel the same way.”

“You think so, huh?” When she’d offered him a bed last night he’d refused.

He kissed her again, a little slower this time. Their kisses were hotter than a sauna on a cold day. She could hear Amy in the background, but it was as if she was a distant voice.

He parted from her just enough to speak and she watched his lips move. They were sexy, and she had to push herself to listen to what he was saying.

“I have to fly out today. I have a meeting tomorrow I need to be at, but when Amy goes down for her nap, we need to talk. I need to tell you why I’m here.”

She frowned as his words penetrated her sex-befuddled mind. “What do you mean why you’re here? I thought it was something to do with a golf course?”

“Actually…that was a lie.”

“I knew there was something not quite right about that. If a golf course was going to be built I would’ve known. Jeez, you can’t sneeze on this island without everybody knowing before you’ve even finished.” She narrowed her eyes. Something was definitely going on. She pushed him away, catching him off balance.

* * * *

The look of worry that crossed her features made Micah want to kick himself. He hadn’t meant to say anything, but damn it all to hell, he didn’t seem to have much control over anything when she was around, including speech.

“Daisy, I’m–” Before he could get his words out the frantic tone of her voice stopped him.

“You’re from them, aren’t you?” She leaned over, lifted Amy up from her chair and wrapped her arms around the baby. “You can just go back and tell whoever it is you work for that I don’t have it…zilch…zitto, and even if I did, you wouldn’t get a dime from me.”
