She needs a safe haven, he wants his freedom. Add a supernatural matchmaker and an unexpected mentor, and their lives will never be the same.

Tanya has been running for her life for two years, but when Ms. Lillian, owner of the exclusive “Heaven’s Touch” match making service, graciously gives her a week’s stay at her private bed and breakfast in St. Augustine, FL, she seizes the opportunity to escape to a possible hideaway.

Kaden is of a rare and precious race prized for extraordinary abilities. He is also half-demon, remanded to Kushiel’s custody centuries ago. Allowed to leave Hell twice a year, three days each time – Beltane, and Samhain, his life thus far has been filled with slavery, torture, and despair, and he is nearly convinced that his soul is beyond redemption. Still, he longs for freedom. Can Tanya redeem him? Can Kaden dare hope for a reprieve?

What genre is it?
“Untameable Heat: Kaden’s Reprieve” is an erotic paranormal romance.

Tanya isn’t your typical erotica female lead, is she?
LaTanya Washington is a voluptuous African-American woman (BBW) with exceptional instincts and a good heart. Her entire family has been murdered and she’s been trapped in Vegas and friendless, moving from one apartment to the next just to stay ahead of the crime magnate who killed her family.

Tell us about Kaden.
Kaden is half-demon, the offspring of a demon and a human woman. He has lived for centuries, remanded to hell as a youth. More than anything, he wants freedom, but his abilities make him dangerous.

We interviewed Kathryn Edgar about her novel Untameable Heat: Lilith’s Freedom, and she told us about your Untameable Heat project. For anyone who hasn’t yet read that chat, can you tell us very briefly about it?
My friend and fellow author Kathryn Edgar presented the idea of working on a project together and after quite a few changes to her original free anthology idea, we developed a unifying theme –  Untameable Heat.

What kind of readers will your contribution to the project appeal to?
Definitely paranormal romance readers who enjoy a short, sexy, fun story.

If you like paranormal romances about angels (light or dark) and demons, you’ll love my book.

The main theme is that there is someone for everyone who wants love. Mushy, but I believe it.

Have you written any other books that we should read next?
Definitely! You’ll love my “Dark Sentinels Series.” Books one and two are available now, and I’m working on book three.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a musician, love animals and believe in doing everything we can to save them. I worked over 20 years as a mental health, substance abuse, school, and career counselor and completed all but my dissertation towards my Ph.D. After being diagnosed with kidney failure, I had to stop working full-time but continue tutoring writing, Algebra, and Statistics.
