A Quick Conversation with Kimberly Kincaid, Author of CROSSING THE LINE–with a giveaway!

Don’t miss this sexy small town romance with heart and heat. A cocky small town farmer must decide whether to reveal his secrets or follow his family legacy.…CROSSING THE LINE will delight fans of IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair and SWEET LITTLE LIES by Jill Shalvis!

Welcome, Kimberly! How long have you been writing, and what (or who) inspired you to start?

I’ve been a writer my whole life (English major, elementary school teacher…it’s in my blood!) but I’ve been writing with the intent to publish fiction for seven years. I started out just wanting to get all the stories in my head on the page, but it was an encouraging email in response to a fan letter that really got me started.

I’d written to an author to tell her how much I loved her book, and she wrote me back (not an assistant! I was floored that she was “real”, hehe!) She told me to consider joining the Romance Writers of America, and I did, and the rest…definitely history!

That’s great! The romance community really is the best!

 

What are you working on right now? What can readers look for from you in the next year?

I’m currently working hard on my Station Seventeen series, which is a sexy, edgy romantic suspense series. If Chicago Fire and Cinemax had a book baby, it would be these stories!

IN TOO DEEP, which is my current work in progress, will be out on October 17, and I’ve also got a really fun epilogue/wedding short story out in November as an extra fun way to celebrate the holidays. Then I’m hoping to return to Cross Creek for Owen’s story in the beginning of 2018.

Awesome! Sounds fantastic—can’t wait 🙂

 

What are you currently reading, and what are your thoughts about it so far?

I’m reading Hate to Love You, by Alisha Rai, and I’m loving every word! It’s really sexy and intense, and the characters are wonderfully flawed and real, but still worth rooting for. It’s an excellent read!

Annnd my TBR continues to grow—thanks for the rec!

Title: Crossing the Line
Author: Kimberly Kincaid
Series: Cross Creek #2
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 8, 2017
Publisher: Montlake Romance

Cocky farmer Eli Cross plays twice as hard as he works. When his latest stunt drums up a heap of negative PR for the family farm, he grudgingly agrees to play host to an ambitious New York City photographer. Her feature on Cross Creek could be just the ticket to show the country what the Cross brothers do best…which is more problem than solution for Eli.

Scarlett Edwards-Stewart has photographed everything from end zones to war zones. She’s confident she can ace this one little story to help her best friend’s failing magazine. At least, she would be if her super-sexy host wasn’t so tight lipped. But the more Scarlett works with Eli, the more she discovers that he’s not who he seems. Can his secret bring them closer together? Or will it be the very thing that tears them apart?

Excerpt:

Just as she finished her last piece of toast, a knock sounded off on the door to Scarlett’s apartment. Her heart did the samba in her chest, but she pressed a hand over the front of her dark-green tank top to cover the commotion. Eli had said he wanted to stick to business. She could totally do that. They’d be professional. Polite. Work only.

But the perfectly professional, perfectly polite greeting Scarlett had worked up in her head completely disintegrated at the sight of Eli standing on her doorstep with a charming-as-hell smile on his face and a brown paper bag in his hand.

“Morning.” He extended the bag, looking hotter than anyone had a right to. Seriously, who made a hoodie and a pair of banged-up jeans sexy? At five o’clock in the morning? It just wasn’t right.

“What’s this?” she blurted as she took the bag from his outstretched hand, and God, could she be any more graceless?

If Eli was bothered by her distinct lack of a filter, though, he sure didn’t show it. “This is a vegan breakfast burrito.” He paused, tipping his blond head slightly as he added, “And we can add that to the list of things I never thought I’d say.”

Scarlett blinked, trying to piece the words together in a way that made sense. “You bought me a vegan breakfast burrito?”

“No. I made you a vegan breakfast burrito.”

The shock pumping through her veins must’ve taken a detour over her face, because Eli took one look at her and backpedaled. “Okay, sort of. I went up to the main house an hour ago to get a bunch of crates that didn’t fit in the box truck, and Owen was making breakfast burritos. I helped him come up with one for you that fits the bill.”

“Why?”

Scarlett clamped down on her lip just a second too late to bite down on the overly bold question, but to her surprise, Eli just laughed.

“What, is breakfast some sort of sacrilege once you cross the Mason-Dixon Line or something?”

Seriously, she needed to build some sort of immunity to that here-comes-trouble smile of his. Either that or she was going to have to head back to that cute little town where she’d gotten her coffeepot for some cute little batteries to fuel her cute little vibrator.

“No! Nope, mmm-mmm,” she barked, chasing the burn from her cheeks with a sweep of her fingertips. Sure, Eli was good-looking (Fine. He was sex on a stick. Potato-potahto). But they needed to stay professional. That’s what he’d said he wanted.

Only from the look of the cocky, come-and-get-it smile on his face right now, Scarlett wasn’t so sure he’d meant a single word.
