This is my second spot on my pre-release book tour and I’m so excited to be here. Yesterday I had a fantastic interview and today I want to give a download on my heroine, Sorella Corvino.
Sorella is a trained assassin and spy. Raised in Italy, she was supposed to marry well and proceed on a mission that would’ve benefited the ruling Kaiser of Europe. Yet, my girl doesn’t always follow the rules and she ditched her family and life for a chance to find her brother.
5 Fun Facts about Sorella:
- She uses a lesser known weapon formerly called a bailsong knife. Most people know it as a butterfly knife. She always keeps at least three pair on her person and doesn’t hesitate to use them.
- Her kill list is probably higher than a lot of book characters. In fact I distinctly recall a discussion with a writing partner on how she killed two men before even kissing our hero. Is that a sign the relationship is doomed?
- The girl can dance. She was raised to conquer ballrooms, and melt hearts; even if her goals were far more nefarious. Some of my favorite moments were forcing Sorella back into her dress-wearing, manner-behaving ways.
- She’s a ship captain. A woman in charge in the 1930s wasn’t a common thing, but my gal took charge of an airship without hesitation. Her crew follow her because she’s someone who follows through on her promises.
- Her last name means Raven in Italian.
Excerpt:
Sorella Corvino only made promises she kept. So when she told the crumb in the next cell, “Once I get out of here, I’m going to kill you,” those were words of truth, not fiction.
The evil bastard leaned forward, mere inches from the bars, and grinned. “I prefer my bits handled by a gorgeous dish, but in a pinch, you’ll do.” His six yellowed teeth stabbing up through pinkish-white gums were a stark contracts to his soot colored skin and graying eyes, the gray no doubt a product of the drugs and rotgut sold on every corner in Pontevedre. No one escaped the filth and poison festering in the streets of every European city unscathed.
“In your dreams.” She stepped towards him, eyes narrowed. Maybe she wouldn’t wait until she got out.
“That’s what your girl is dreaming of tonight. Me and my co—“
She slid her hand between the bars and grasped the part of his anatomy he wanted to talk about in every other sentence, effectively cutting him off.
Book Blurb:
Once Upon A Time…
Sorella Corvino lost her brother to The Cursed years ago. Sorella is so determined to find him, she’ll make any deal, rescue the outcasts and those like him, and risk flying into any port to rescue him. When her latest pirate efforts partner her with a bounty hunter who’s too charming, sexy, and handsome for his own good, she knows she’s in trouble.
Ian Marshall no longer believes in fairy tales…
Disowned and a marked criminal in the United States, this merchant turned bounty hunter, is one bounty away from freedom; and freedom’s price is handing over one person to the most cutthroat gang in the world, The Cursed. Yet, he can’t get to them without Sorella’s help. Too bad she’s gorgeous, aggravating, and a little trigger happy.
As the attraction mounts, the danger grows and the pair find themselves invading a skin trader den, the ballrooms of dictator-ruled Germany, and fighting battles in the sky in the hopes of getting everything they want. Only thing they didn’t plan on… falling in love.
