Meet Vince Knight, hero of Mine Until Dawn, with Ednah Walters

Good morning and thank you for inviting me to stop by your site on the blog tour for MINE UNTIL DAWN, book 2 of the FITZGERALD FAMILY series. 

Let’s Meet VINCE KNIGHT, the hero in MINE UNTIL DAWN.

Height: 6ft-5, rippling muscles (see picture)
Eyes: Gray
Eyebrows: Arched
Hair: Black, tends to curl at the base of his neck.

Occupation: Investigative reporter-turn-author

Sexiest feature: dimples, long groves that soften the hard planes of his face, although Jade would say his eyes or lips, or you know, that nine-inch beauty that rises majestically from a tuff of black hair.

His strengths: He’s meticulous and disciplined. When he goes after something, he’s very methodical and single-minded. Nothing and no one can stop him from reaching his goal. He’s also very loyal to those he cares about.

His weakness: He doesn’t let people get close, possibly because he doesn’t want to get hurt. He fights against trusting people, including Jade’s brothers and cousin, because he had a difficult childhood and someone close to him betrayed and hurt him. He also fought again falling in love with Jade, but you know what, some things just can’t be controlled.

VINCE AT HIS BEST:

Something warm and velvety pressed against her cheek and a steady rhythm teased her ear. She inhaled. Hmm, masculine and tangy. She turned her head and buried her nose in…Vince’s neck. She opened her eyes and blinked, heat suffusing her face. Vince was carrying her toward an apartment. That was the second time tonight he’d cradled her so tenderly in his arms. It felt wonderful.              

“Vince,” she murmured.

“Go back to sleep.”

“You shouldn’t be carrying me,” she protested although she made no attempt to get down. They entered a sparsely furnished living room, illuminated by one lamp on a side-table, then went down a hallway.

“I don’t mind.”

“But I’m so, uh, so heavy.”

He chuckled, his arms tightening around her thighs. “You’re perfect.”

He pushed a door with his foot and walked into a bedroom. A lamp on a side-bed table lit the room and a King-size bed. Vince must have come in to turn it on before he went back for her. He set her on the bed and squatted beside it. A dimple winked at her.

“Built like a woman is supposed to be,” he added and ran his knuckles along her Capri-clad hip and down her legs.

Her skin tingled and the flush of heat quickly spread to the rest of her body. A need so primal stretched and expanded inside her, clenching her stomach and making her nerves quiver. It pulsed hot and bright, like nothing she’d ever experienced before. Yet she recognized it in the smoldering desire in his eyes. When his hand landed on her ankle, she jerked away.

“What are you doing?” Her voice quivered.

“Removing your shoes.”

Where had he been all her life? His seductive charm was potent. If she weren’t careful, she would fall in love with him.

“Thanks, but I think I can manage,” Jade managed to stammer. Now please, go away, she wanted to beg him. She couldn’t think coherently with him so close. “Where are my things?”

Vince studied her for a beat, then brushed his knuckles on her cheek. “Right behind you.”

Flushing, she turned her head and spied the plastic bag. During the ride from her place to Vince’s hotel, Eddie had stopped by a superstore for her to pick a few things. She pressed her heated face on her knees and shot Vince a look from the corner of her eye. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.” He straightened, taking his time and making her aware he didn’t want to leave her yet. He pointed to a door leading from the bedroom he’d given her. “The bathroom is through there. Should you need anything, I’ll be one door to your left.

She nodded. “I hope I didn’t kick you out of the master bedroom.”

“If I said you did, would you let me stay with you tonight?” he teased.

Jade swallowed at the tempting possibility. She licked her lips, tried to think up a response and came up dry.

“That’s okay,” Vince answered for her. “Bad-timing. I’ll see you later. Rest.”

Jade nodded and waited until he left the room before she covered her burning cheeks with her hands. This was bad. Every time she thought she knew him, he showed her a new facet. He had depth and a generous heart, and he was sexy as hell. How was she going to sleep knowing he was a few feet away, desiring her?

About Ednah Walters:

I grew up reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries, before I graduated to Mills & Boons (starting with Janet Daily's Shutter the Sky) and the rest is history.

I enjoy good love stories, tingly mysteries and wondrous adventures. When I finished college and decided to be a stay-at-home mother, I devoured books like they were going out of production, until reading just wasn't enough. So I started to write.

When I'm not writing, I do things with my family, five children or my darling husband of 19 years. I live in a picturesque valley in Utah, the setting for my YA series.
