Please
give a warm welcome to Mason Harding from Arresting Mason by Amber
Daulton today as we sit down and see what makes him tick.
Q:
So tell us about yourself. What got you in the cross-hairs for your author?
I’m
a mechanic with a past, and that’s all people needed to know. Unfortunately, Amber—my author—told everyone the dirty,
brutal truth. I’m still a little pissed at her for it, but Mia, my girl, keeps
nagging at me to forgive her. Doesn’t it just suck when the heroine and the
author do lunch and margaritas together? Damn.
Anyway, I’ve made a
ton of mistakes, some of which are embarrassing, but I’ve moved on with my
life. I’m not ashamed of myself, and I like myself for the most part.
You see, I went to
prison for a stupid, drunken mistake, but now I’m a free man. I’m determined to
do right and stay out of trouble. It’s difficult, sometimes. Mia is everything
to me, so I’ll do what I must to stay away from my past.
Q:
What was it that drew you to your mate?
Her
fire and stubbornness. Mia doesn’t take my bullshit. When I’m acting like an
ass, which I tend to do when I’m stressed or mad, she gets right in my face and
tells me what’s what.
Q:
A little naughty fun, where was the wildest place you seduced your partner(s)?
I’m
on parole, so I can’t risk doing the dirty in public places where we could
easily get caught. God, I wish I could. You know, maybe I should risk it.
To
date, the wildest place would have been on the rooftop of Mia’s store. It was
pretty secluded and quiet up there.
Q:
Boxers, briefs or Commando on a man?
Boxer-briefs,
but I’m good with commando too.
Q:
If your partner wants to seduce you, what's one sure fire trick they can do to
seduce you?
A
strip tease and a slow, sensual dance. Mia knows just how to get me in the
mood.
Q:
What is the one place on your partner's body that you know will drive them
wild-in and out of bed?
Mia
loves it when I run my fingers softly down her spine. It gets her all tingly. I
especially love doing it when we’re out in public and she has to bite her lip to
keep from moaning aloud. Then she gives me a devil look, but I wink at her and
she melts.
Q:
What was one of the most embarrassing things your author did to you in
Arresting Mason?
God,
there’s too many to count. Amber told the readers about my experience in prison,
but if I talk about that shit, my good mood will go down the crapper and I’ll
probably start acting like an ass. Trust
me, you don’t want that.
One
embarrassing thing I will talk about
is how Amber humbled me. Before I met Mia, I was cocky and perhaps arrogant to
a fault. I’m still cocky, but now I know the love of a good woman makes you a
good man. Mia is strong and feisty, just what I need. Dropping my façade for
her was hard, but she was worth it.
Q:
Anything else you would like to add?
Mia
and I have a lot of friends and family members, so we’ll be showing up in their
stories. Keep an eye out for Arresting
Jeremiah, which will hopefully be coming out with The Wild Rose Press sometime
in 2020. That story is about Jim, Mia’s brother. He was also my former parole
officer, so I bet you can guess how badly that affected my and Mia’s
relationship.
If
want to learn more, then you know what you gotta do. Pick up the book.

Once you’re in a prison gang, you’re in it for life. That’s
what Mason Harding thought until the boss accepted his resignation. After the
State releases him on parole, a sexy divorcée behind the wheel of a car almost
ends his life quicker than a shank. His chance encounter with Mia Eddison
results in a night of passion, but her brother—his parole officer—catches them
together and doesn’t approve.
Mia falls hard for the cocky ex-con, but not because of his
chiseled body. She vows to break through his walls and discover his secrets,
but never expects those secrets to threaten her life.
When members of an organized crime ring kidnap Mia to force
Mason’s return to the gang, he goes up against an old friend to save the woman
he loves. Will his sacrifice be enough or will everything fall apart in a blaze
of gunfire?
Tagline
Their chance encounter resulted in a steamy affair, but
will his former gang and a parole officer tear them apart?
Excerpt
“Which one is
your car?” She glanced around the crowded parking lot. A few streetlights
pushed back the darkness and shadows. The restaurant served customers until
midnight on the weekends, but no one loitered in the lot, at least from what
Mia could see.
“Don’t have one
at the moment.” Mason hooked his thumbs in the belt loops of his jeans. “I took
the bus. It stopped a few blocks from here.”
“Would you like
a ride?” She pulled the car keys from her purse. “I feel a little ridiculous we
met here tonight. I just wasn’t sure if you were some kind of freak.”
His eyebrow
lifted, and he closed the distance between them as a tiger would zero in on its
mate. A sexy, masculine smile curled his lips. “Have you made up your mind
yet?”
“I’ll let you
know in the morning.” Desire trickled down her spine. Mia nodded toward the
passenger side of the car for him to hop in.
He confiscated
her keys instead to unlock and open the driver’s side door for her like a
gentleman. Then he leaned closer and nuzzled her temple with his nose.
Not sure if he
planned to seduce her in the parking lot or if he merely wanted to tease her,
Mia pressed her hand to his chest and tried to think straight. “You’re the
first guy I’ve gone on a date with since my divorce. I haven’t slept with
anyone since Evan.”
He tunneled his
fingers through her wavy, chestnut-brown hair. “I haven’t dated anyone in a
long time either. We’ll take it slow or fast, whatever you want, but I promise
you one thing. After I’m done with you, you won’t even remember that bastard’s
name.”
Oh, God. She almost melted right then
and there. “Fast. I want you, Mason.”
“Take me to your
place and you can have me.”
