Big thank you to my friend and fabulous writer, Anne Lange for inviting me on this tour. Her books are not to be missed and I’m looking forward to her next release, Sliding into Home.
I’d like to introduce you to Simon Young, the hero for my recent release, TAKING COURAGE. I first met Simon while writing the first book in my Love Projects series, Taking Chances.
When he was a little boy he found a second home at his local gym. Through the discipline of his training, he found comfort and control. When he later found the life style of BDSM, it felt like a homecoming. He took to it with the same discipline he developed in the gym, devoting himself to his training and eventually the training of others.
Many of us come from loving homes with parents that encourage us and help us to become the best we can be. Simon didn’t have any of that. He is who he is because he wanted it. He fought for it, literally. So, when he crosses paths with someone who hasn’t learned some of the basics in life, he has no mercy. No excuses allowed, you’re responsible for your own actions.
Simon maybe a cut and dry character in some ways, but with a big heart just asking to be stolen. He wants love in his life. He wants to find the one person who can understand who he is and love him whole. The last submissive he fell for actually was in love with someone else and was using Simon. The ordeal cut him deeply.
When I set out to write his story, I was tempted to hand him love on a silver platter. I wanted him to find something easy. I knew he’d love my heroine completely, but I couldn’t go easy. Not because I wanted to make it hard on him, but because I wanted him to see someone fight for him. I wanted him to know he was wanted even when a future seemed impossible.
I hope you enjoyed getting to know a little bit about Simon. You’ll see him again in the next two Love Projects books. You’ll get to see the love of his life again too and see their love deepen and grow.
