Please give a warm welcome to Lance
Franklin from Chasing Ginger
by Marie Lavender today as we sit down
and see what makes him tick.
What’s your favorite thing to do
when you’re not saving the world or your girl?
(Chuckles.) Well, I run a large tech company, so
I guess I’m doing my best, or at least doing my part at saving the world. As
for Ginger, yes, she has gotten herself into some iffy situations in the past.
Anyway, if you’re asking about a hobby, I spend
some of my free time making furniture. My lady wants me to start selling it
since I have so much of it stored away, but I just haven’t had a chance to
think about that yet.
What is it about your love
interest (Ginger) that makes you crazy in a good way?
She’s such a sweetheart, a lovely person, inside
and out. When she does something kind for the most random individual, all I can
think is how lucky I got. And damn, I could just stare at her for hours and be
happy. She is so beautiful.
Do you sometimes want to strangle
your writer? Thrash her/him to within an inch of their life? Make them do the
stupid crap they make you do?
Hmm…no. But I’ve wondered about some of the stuff
she got my girl into. I’m still not happy about that nightmare.
What's your Favorite food?
Anything Mama cooks. She’s a wonderful cook, and
she just loves cooking for big family gatherings. I miss being back in Georgia
sometimes.
Tell me a little bit about your world. What are
your greatest challenges?
Well, it’s not easy being a CEO, running a company. But I have a great
team to support me, and I make sure to delegate some things so I’m not
spreading myself too thin, you know? My greatest challenge is that we’re doing
some big expansions right now, getting into other markets and regions, and
setting all those locations up is intensive and time-consuming.
Describe yourself in four words.
Focused, ambitious, innovative, and generous.
Well, at least I hope I’m generous enough with my employees, and the people I love.
What do you do for a living?
I’m the CEO of IMT, a tech giant in the Silicon
Valley. I started out coding and launching different apps, but we’ve since
gotten into other types of media and technology.
What do you fear the most?
That Ginger might change her mind about us. She’s
the best thing that ever happened to me.

Chased
by a group of angry men. Saved by quite a hunk.
This is
not the résumé Ginger Halloway ever imagined having. But thanks to a miracle
pill, which makes her size 22 body instantly sexy, that’s what happened.
Yet,
now Lance Franklin is showing interest in her, and she can’t figure out if he
really likes her for her, or if it’s just because of a bizarre drug.
And her
wild bunch of friends, The Misfits…well, they’re always getting her into some
interesting situations.
So,
yep, business as usual. Except for the guy. What the hell should she do about
him?
As for
Lance, he believes he’s lucky to have found Ginger. But can he convince her
they should go for it?
With some new attention from the hottest guy she’s ever met, Ginger can’t help but wonder…is this all too good to be true?
(CONTENT WARNING: Watch for
foul language, steamy scenes, and a pesky yet messy ability to choke on your
dinner while laughing. If you’ve come expecting just a lighthearted, slapstick
romance, you may not get that here. The author approaches sensitive topics in
the best way she knows how. Just be prepared for all the feels to be deeper than usual for this genre – an emotional
romantic comedy. No unruly cliffhangers, HEA guaranteed.)

EXCERPT
Trembling, Ginger nodded when he
whispered, “Still okay?”
Then he drew her into his embrace
by degrees, and she looked in his eyes and at his lips. By the time she was
desperate to have him, he settled his mouth on hers. She groaned at the gentle
sweep of his tongue, and clenched her fingernails onto his suit jacket. Oh, to
hell with the fear of inexperience, or the fact this might be a dream on its
own. It felt too good.
“I love kissing you,” he muttered
after a few moments. But then the man stirred her up again.
She got lost in his dark yet
pleasant essence, the way he held her. His fantastic scent as it surrounded
them in the close confines of the car. Ginger moaned. “I…love it when you kiss
me too.”
He smiled, then lowered his mouth
to hers. Soon enough, they both grasped at each other, angled their bodies closer.
The soft leather seat pressed at her back, and she became breathless when he
trailed his mouth down her neck. But suddenly, his lips were on hers again,
stole her breath until she didn’t care where they were, or who else was around.
When they came up for air at last,
he said, “Just a sec.”
Worried, she nibbled her lip, sure
he was having second thoughts. Oh God, what if he wasn’t attracted to her the
way he’d claimed? If this was some awful trick. So embarrassing…yeah,
stuck-in-the-pool-because-your-bathing-suit-malfunctioned kind of humiliation.
But then, why would he even bother with a kiss if none of it was real? Or
saying these words which meant so much to her? That she was wanted, not only as
a person, but as a woman. She’d never realized how much it mattered to her,
until now.
Observing as he flipped a switch
nearby, she caught the grin on Owen’s face before a black divider went up,
which blanketed them in total privacy. Before she could even digest what
happened, Lance reached for her.
Foundations is also eager to take on the rest of the book series…
