HER COWBOY AVENGER
THIS COWBOY WILL DO ANYTHING SHE ASKS...EXCEPT
RIDE AWAY.
As soon as Matt Alvarez returns to his small Texas
town, he knows the situation is worse than he thought. And yet the angry glares
and muttered threats won’t keep Elena Weston from proving she’s innocent of
murder. Matt isn’t at all surprised.
Elena is as stubborn as she was ten years ago, when their love seemed
limitless—until circumstances tore them apart.
Now that he’s back, Matt has no
intention of allowing Elena to face her troubles alone. But the passion that
still burns between them is as tempting—and dangerous—as uncovering the
truth. And their only chance at survival
means baiting a killer lying in wait…a killer more than ready to bury his
secrets with them.

What or who inspired the hero for HER COWBOY AVENGER?
KERRY: I wanted to write a reunion story about
star-crossed lovers. I had this idea of
a man who, despite the years separating them, came back simply because he knew
she was in trouble, which, to me, was both deeply heroic and highly romantic.
Is there a hero you’re just dying to write about for
Intrigue?
KERRY: The story I’m working on now, the second in a
series coming in 2013, is one I’ve wanted to write for years, and the hero is a
big part of that, for multiple reasons. He’s the guy the heroine had a crush on
in college who she never had the guts to speak to. Part of the fun of this
story is giving her this man who actually turns out to be every bit as great as
she once dreamed—and more. Plus, I love writing stories about people who aren’t
what may be considered conventionally heroic but who are just regular people
who rise to the occasion. This hero isn’t a cop or a soldier or a secret agent,
but when he’s caught in a desperate situation, he does what he has to. I love
that.
What’s your favorite way you’ve killed someone (in your
books of course)?
KERRY: One of my books opened with a victim having his
throat cut and his tongue cut out. My first Intrigue of 2013 begins with a
woman being pushed off a balcony in a tower of an old mansion. Both were scenes
I had in my head for a long time before I finally got to write them and get
them out lol!
What’s your favorite thing about the Harlequin Party?
KERRY: I’ve never actually been, though I hear it’s a
great time!
Where are some unusual places your characters have ‘made
out’?
KERRY: I don’t know if this is truly unusual, but I have an upcoming release
where they get hot-and-heavy in a swimming pool, a scene that was a lot of fun
to write!
GOTTA ASK: If you had to choose a movie to describe HER COWBOY AVENGER, which would it be?
KERRY’S GOTTA ANSWER: In a lot of ways, I think it’s like a
contemporary version of an old Western: the loner hero arrives in an
inhospitable small town to hand out justice for a lady in distress.
