Bound to Serve, the Story Behind the Story
- The first thing you need to know is that I love spy novels and movies. So naturally I had to come up with Delta Star, my own clandestine agency. It was a bit like going on an undercover mission creating my own super-secret black ops world and I loved every minute of it. I hope you’ll feel the same thrill when you read the books.
- I’m strictly a seat-of-the-pants writer. I’ve tried to be super organized like some of my colleagues; it doesn’t work for me. I guess I like to be just as surprised as my readers as my stories unfold. Some of my books start with an opening line that tantalizes me until I write it down and others begin with a general, I wonder what would happen if I… idea. Bound to Serve was one of the latter, hmmm I wonder what would happen if I books. I’m hoping you’ll love it and keep reading each exciting adventure as the Dangerous Liaisons series unfolds.
- Bound to Serve is set on a lush tropic island because I truly love the Caribbean. Sparkling water, warm sand beaches, and balmy breezes, what’s not to like. Best of all those hot tropic nights can lead to all sorts of romantic entanglements. Toss in a private resort where passion is always on the menu and a dangerous mission where star crossed partners have to contend with the enemy and their own inner demons to survive and it just doesn’t get any better for me. I hope you’ll agree.
- I always did like my heroes a little dirty so I couldn’t make Condor too squeaky clean. Besides, bad boys are much more fun. I wrote my ghost agent the way I saw him flaws and all. He’s called in when other agents screw up. He doesn’t make friends; that’s not his purpose. Instead he’s untouchable, unstoppable, and he always nails his targets. But no matter how many times he’s saved the world, he plans to stay a ghost. That is until a certain feisty new field agent gets in his way.
- I love strong, smart, adventurous women and I wrote my heroine Bridget Jamison with those attributes in mind. She’s obsessed with capturing Simon Perez, the elusive terrorist responsible for her ex-fiancé’s death. When the Delta Star director hands the case over to Condor, a mesmerizing ghost agent who has the power to make her weak in the knees with one intense look, Bridget agrees to be Condor’s partner so that she’s not dropped from the case and her chance for justice.
- Now they’re on a mission to infiltrate a dangerous criminal organization and capture Perez. It’s up to Condor to keep this beautiful, determined agent out of harm’s way, and to keep their explosive passion contained long enough not to risk their cover…and their lives.
About Julie Castle:
I’m author Julie Castle. I’m a natural born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent that I inherited from my mom and a love for telling tall tales that I got from my dad. I guess that set me up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. I’m so glad that I chose the latter.
I’ve always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town I loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place but I still loved it. I enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas I wasn’t supposed to venture into. I’m still the same way which is why I love writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny I hope you’ll find it in my books.
