Scorching the Pages with Cathleen Ross


I’m not big on ordering books in advance, but the moment I saw the cover for Snatched, by my fellow Aussie author Cathleen Ross, I knew I didn’t want to wait one second longer than I had to – so the moment it was available for pre-order, I was there with my one-clicking finger! You’ll understand, then, why I’m thrilled Cathleen is joining us on Get Lost in a Story today to talk a little more about Snatched, an Entangled Scorched novel, which is now on my e-reader!


About Cathleen...
Cathleen Ross likes to write about the quirky side of life. She thought she was a "sweet" writer until she was asked to write her first erotic story, sold it immediately and she never looked back. She's a multi-award winning author who keeps coming up with sexy, steamy romances.

Connect with Cathleen via her website or Facebook.


Club Enforcer Troy DeLance is hellbent on revenge—eye-for-an-eye and all that—so he kidnaps his prospect's sister as payback for a betrayal. If he has to tie Stacey Martin to his bed to make sure she stays, so be it. All the better if she likes it. 

Stacey will do anything to save her brother. Even if it means surrendering in ways she never imagined to her beastly kidnapper. But as their relationship heats up, neither realizes that someone else is plotting a far more deadly payback...





Read a little...

Chapter One

Payback should be a bitch. But spying on Stacey Martin through her bedroom window in the darkness was giving Troy DeLance a hard-on. And Troy wasn’t happy about it.
Troy groaned out loud as Stacey unbuttoned her silky dress and it slipped to the ground, leaving her wearing virgin-white bra and panties. She had a body that was more siren than virgin. When she pulled her long, sun-blond hair from its ponytail, it draped over her slim shoulders down to her cute little rounded ass. She pursed her lips as she glanced out the window.

What he wouldn’t give to have her doing things to him with that sweet, pouting mouth.

Dirty things.

But that wasn’t going to happen. This was official business for the Slayers MC—the motorcycle club both he and his prospect, Animal, belonged to.

It didn’t matter that Troy’s attraction for Animal’s half-sister Stacey jolted into him like a slug from a gun. He’d met her for the first time two weeks ago…but she’d been dressed then. Semi-naked? Oh man. He didn’t want or need this untimely attraction. She was so not his type. Far from it. His club nickname was Beast, and that fit him to a T. She was definitely a beauty, but unlike the fairy tale, this little scenario was not going to end happily.

Not for her, anyway.

His gaze still riveted on her, he pulled at his tightening jeans and shifted on his Harley so he was more comfortable. He wasn’t such a creep that he’d jerk off while he spied on the girl. Instead, he fingered the roll of duct tape, planning his revenge on her brother.

A year ago, Animal had gone out of his way to join the Slayers as Troy’s prospect. Back then, Troy had seen schoolgirl pictures of Stacey in the auto parts shop Animal recently inherited from his dad. Who knew the guy’s sweet-looking kid sister would grow up to be such a striking young woman, pretty enough to model on a catwalk? No wonder Animal had never brought her to the club parties when she was in town. There wouldn’t have been a man there who wouldn’t have wanted to bang her.

Troy tried to remember how old his prospect had said she was. Twenty? No. Twenty-one? Anyway, it didn’t make any difference. He wasn’t going to date the girl, he was going to grab her and trade her.

Quick Chat...

Avril: Tell us a little more about the relationship between Troy and Stacey.
Cathleen: They come in to the book as enemies. Troy has kidnapped her and she's making his life hell so their relationship is fiery from the get go.

Avril: This is the first book in your Outlaw Warriors series – what can we expect from the future books in the series?
Cathleen: The second book also has a military hero but he has a duty of honor to settle for the hero, Troy in book one, which means spying on a rival biker club. He's given a job of guarding the President's daughter. She's serious and vulnerable, hateful of her role as a biker's daughter. She also adores him.

Avril: Alpha or beta hero?
Cathleen: Alpha. I still tend to over alpha them but that's the kind of hero I like to read. My heroes are dangerous and not your Mr Nice Guy, and they're all oversexed.

Avril: I’m crazy-keen to now a little bit more about your historical stories…?
Cathleen: I wrote a historical series set in Scotland in the Robert the Bruce period. It came to me in a dream but the voice was still talking to me while I was awake. I self-published it and it sold well for me. I've traced my ancestry back to the fierce Ross clan who were the Lairds of Balnagowan. I'm certain my reading up on this wild clan will provide for lots of background information for the next series I'm planning to write, which will be set in the Regency period. The Ross family had witches, fearsome lairds who were hard to tame and that's going to be fun to write in a more modern context.

  5. I usually red historical romances, and I'm okay whether there's sex in them or not, but when I read contemporary books I like them hot.
