Thanks so much to Cocktails & Books for having me here today! I have to say…I love both cocktails and books, so this is the place for me. I was asked about my top five favorite Alpha Male traits, and I had to stop and think how to limit the list to five. I gave it my best shot:
1. They’ll take a bullet for you. Yeah, I like the idea of a good guy (make that a badass, long and lean, tough alpha guy) stepping between me and any danger. Especially bullets, you know?
2. They get stuff done. I mean this in all areas, and life in general. An alpha doesn’t sit around and wait for life to happen. They make it happen. Need your car fixed? They get it fixed. Need new siding on the house? Yep, those hammers get swinging.
3. Their allegiances are clear. There’s no waffling for an alpha male. If he’s your friend, then he’ll go into the fire for you, no questions asked. If he’s your enemy, then freakin watch out. And if he’s your man…well, let’s just say there’s no wondering about it. You know where you stand.
4. They have stories to tell. No matter how they’re raised, what kind of crap they’ve been through, even if they started with alpha male traits, life has given them the experiences to hone those. Usually those end with a great story or two…and good friends who had been there. Sometimes it takes a village, and even a lone wolf of an alpha usually has more friends and family than he knows what to do with.
5. They can kiss. Yeah, I saved this for number five, and it should probably be number one, but like an alpha male and his moves, it’s nice to build on up to the good stuff. An alpha is all in, full concentration, and that makes for a great kiss. One that will indelibly lead to another kiss…
BLIND FAITH by Rebecca Zanetti (January 27, 2015; Forever Mass Market; $8.00)
A betrayal he couldn’t forget . . .
For Nate Dean, love is a four-letter word. As part of a secret black-ops military unit, he and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be ruthless soldiers with an expiration date. They were loyal only to one another . . . until Nate laid eyes on the woman who stole his heart and blew his world apart. Now, years later, his family is still paying the price for his mistake. But as time runs out, there’s only one person who can save his family: the very woman Nate swore he’d never trust again.
A love she couldn’t deny . . .
The moment Audrey Madison spies Nate across a crowded ballroom, she can barely breathe. He’s just as undeniably sexy as she remembers, yet there’s an edge to him now that’s as irresistible as it is dangerous. When he asks for her help, Audrey can’t refuse. But she has secrets of her own–secrets that, if Nate ever discovers them, may cost them both their lives . . .
