The Call of Duty
(Not the kind where you get extra points for a head shot!!)
I just got the cover for A Royal World Apart, the first book in my The Call of Duty series, starting release in the UK in July (December US).
Some of you may remember the man I oft referred to as Untouched Hero. He is a man who is, indeed, untouched. In THAT way. And yes, I have to mention it again. Only because I think he might be about my favorite hero ever.
I love a strong man. And to me, Mak’s resistance of anything that might compromise his morals or his focus was extremely sexy. Sexier still was letting Eva push him, challenge him, and ultimately…*sigh*…break him.
Without further ado…a look at Mak and Eva.
When duty wars with desire, which one wins?
With her life mapped out since birth, Princess Evangelina Drakos—known for her dramatic flair—hopes the minor scandal she plans to create will deter potential suitors.
Hired for Eva’s security, unemotional bodyguard Makhail Nabatov never makes a mistake—but the impulsive princess pushes his resolve to the limits. It’s not long, however, before the beautiful and imprisoned Eva entices him to leave his bonds of duty and honour behind.
Whilst their chemistry reaches fever-pitch, Makhail knows he knows he must deny his desire—for Eva is promised to another man…

Thanks, Abbi!! Me too.
Wow, Maisey. She’s beautiful and he’s yowza!
Ooh! Sounds interesting! Cover is gorgeous!
Love this kind of hero! I’ve never tried to write one, but I think it must be an interesting challenge as writer and some of my favorite books have virgin heroes.
Stephanie, thank you! And I agree. *gazes at Mak and Eva* they are PERFECT.
Alexandra, thank you! I enjoyed writing their story SO much.
Jill, I think it can be a challenge. With Mak, I knew exactly WHY he was a virgin from moment one, so as a character he was very clear to me, and was actually NOT a hard hero to write. But his conflict was a gift. I think if I did another virgin hero, finding another reason why…yeah, that might be trickier!
