Fiction Vixen is pleased to welcome author HelenKay Dimon today.
Thank you for having me here to talk about my newest release, LEAN ONE ME. I was re-reading parts of the book for this blog tour and realized one of my favorite things about the book is the relationship between the men. They work together, are friends and walk that thin line between being helpful and being part of the problem.
Here is an excerpt from an early introduction of the male dynamic in the book. Mitch, the hero, has just seen Cassidy, the heroine who recently moved back to town. Mitch is excited. His friends are a bit more skeptical because Cassidy left town years ago and made a pretty public display of insulting the place and people in it.
“She barely hit town and the grumbling started,” Spence said.
Mitch wasn’t sure how that was Cassidy’s fault, but Spence didn’t seem to be in the mood for a smack of common sense. “Your point?”
“I know you used to have a thing for her—”
“Do you blame me?” Attraction, heat. Mitch experienced a heavy dose of both in her presence back then and right now. “Look at her.”
“—but she’s always been a chilly one. The type to sleep alone, if you know what I mean.”
The air blew right out of Mitch with that comment. He looked to Travis for help but he just shook his head at Spence’s cryptic remark. “I have no clue what that means.”
“I’m thinking Spence forgot some words.” Travis let his feet drop to the floor as he stared at Spence. “Or he knows less about women than we thought. Is that even possible?”
Don’t worry. Mitch and Cassidy win them over…eventually.
