Welcome to Cole from HERO WORSHIP by Kimberly Quinton




Today please welcome Cole, Human. Enhanced .Rogue. Operative from Hero Worship by Kimberly Quinton

 

How did you meet your writer?

Kimberly was on a cruise to Alaska and spent a lot of time talking with me while enjoying whale watching and drinking far too many lemon drops on deck. She knew she’d have to write my story after I told her a few tales of my time on the island.

 

Do you infiltrate your writer’s dreams?

I did for a long time. But like a typical writer, she replaced me as soon as she had my story. I’ll always be her favorite superhero though. You know, once you’ve had super, there’s no going back.

 

Do you like the way the book ended?

I’m not proud of the destruction I caused, but I’m happy to have Caroline in my life.  She helped me remember why I chose to be a HERO in the first place. And now that I’m the last, I owe it to my brethren to honor them. Doesn’t mean I’m going back to blindly following orders.

 

What do you find most appealing in women?

I like a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to fight for it, for better or worse.

 

What do you find most unappealing in a woman?
 
A woman who doesn’t know her own mind. Men are simple, even men with super powers—we need women who are straight forward and direct.

 

If you could change your superpowers, what would you change them to? 

I’m fast, strong, can fly and have years of experience dealing with the most dangerous creatures in the world—politicians. I don’t need anything else.

 

I hope that’s enough questions. I have to go. I promised Caroline a moonlit walk on my beach and I only slipped away after leaving her in the hands of a masseuse and  an unlimited supply of mai tais.
 
 
Thanks so much for being with us today Cole, and please say Hello to Caroline for us !!

Temptation….

Enhanced human and the government’s top negotiator, Caroline Sparks’ only mission is to bring in the last H.E.R.O. at any cost. When he asks for two months with her on his island when the mission is over, she can’t refuse even if it means exposing a secret he might kill her over.

Enjoy the following excerpt for Hero Worship:

 

“Look, princess, I don’t have a knight-in-shining-armor side. You need to get around to my real side.”

Caroline’s teeth clicked together at princess; her tongue barely escaped the sharp edges before she forced another breath through her nose.

“And what side would that be? Your, I-want-my-own-island-and-the-rest-of- the-world-can-rot, side? Or how about your, I-need-a-new-woman-every-couple- weeks, side? Which one of those should I appeal to?”

Her voice sounded strange to her ears, thick with frustration and on the brink of screeching. I never raise my voice. Pursing her lips against the tremble, she gripped the edge of her seat, doing her best to ignore his wide smirk. She needed this conversation under her control.

He leaned back and tilted his head to look beneath the table, eyeing her legs. She stiffened but didn’t move further at his perusal of her from head to chest and back. A negotiator couldn’t be easily offended.

“Definitely my I-need-a-new-woman-every-couple-weeks, side. You could be that woman.”

“What?” Incredulity tightened her throat and her words sputtered out in a breathy puff. “Are you insane?”

“Depends on who you ask.” He winked; a suggestive tilt broadened his smile.

No way in hell. She squashed the butterflies that flapped in her belly, determined to ignore the temptation of his sun-kissed shoulders and golden abs, each muscle defined like a sculpted masterpiece. A perfect Hero. Physically. Too bad, of all the Heroes, only he remained.

Caroline cleared her throat. “I’m here to negotiate your chance at freedom, not feed your lascivious appetites.”

“Okay. Tell the AG the offer is rejected.”

“Millions of lives are at risk. We can’t combat a cyborg army under the control of a terrorist on our own.”

“Not my problem.”
“You used to be a hero. Now you’re heartless and cruel—pathetic.”
Caroline searched his face for a reaction, anything to tell her she’d gotten to him. He gave nothing but a shrug under a steady gaze. Her insults seemed to roll right off him.

“Your brethren would be ashamed.”

A flash of violence passed through his eyes as he thrust forward, shoulders raised, in a shift from nonchalant to coiled aggression, ready to strike at the next provocation. Here was the vengeance that cost a dozen citizens their lives and damages in the billions to government assets. She struggled not to react, but anger surged inside her, smothering her self-protective instincts.
