{Character Interview + Giveaway} with author Joan Swan of FEVER!

I'm super excited to welcome author Joan Swan, who is hear today with two other special guest from her upcoming novel FEVER! Welcome along with Joan, Alyssa and Teague!

Welcome!  I’m interviewing Alyssa and Teague, the heroine and hero of FEVER just two weeks before their story is released.

Joan: Good to see you two again – glad we’ve gotten some time apart.  I just about killed you off a dozen (or two) times. 
Alyssa: “He was the problem.”
Teague:  Snorts.  Grins at Alyssa.  “Pain. In. The. Ass.  Sound familiar?”
Joan:  “Your hair’s grown, Teague.  Do you like it, Alyssa?”
Alyssa:  One side of her mouth lifts in sexy smile. “More to fist in my hands.”
Joan:  “Of course.  So...Teague, what was your favorite part of the book?”
Teague:  “The sex.  You write good sex.”
Alyssa:  “Hey.  I think I had something to do with it.”
Teague:  Reaches over and slides a hand over Alyssa’s hair.  “Everything to do with it, sugar.”
Joan:  Clears throat.  “Aside from the sex.”
Teague:  Eyes lift toward ceiling in thought.  “Probably when I considered leaving her to the wolves.”
Alyssa:  Fist to Teague’s bicep.
Teague:  Doesn’t even flinch.  Laughs.  “I did love the handcuffs.”
Alyssa:  “Evident in how long you kept them on me.”
Joan:  “What about you, Alyssa?  Your favorite part of the book—aside from the sex.”
Teague:  Whispers, “When you first set eyes on me.”
Alyssa:  Snort.  Turns a hot grin on Teague.  “When I dropped eight condoms on your chest.”
Teague:  “Oh.  Yeah.  You’re right.  That was way better.”
Alyssa:  “Or was it the wine closet?”
Teague:  Low, throaty laugh.  “Hard choice.”
Alyssa:  “Yes.  Yes it was.”
Joan:  Another clearing of throat.  “Teague, your least favorite part of the book?”
Teague:  His smile slowly slides away.  His fingers thread into Alyssa’s dark hair.  “When I saw that wall of fire fall on top of her.  That was just cruel, Joan.  I mean, aside from the awesome sex, you were vicious throughout the book, but that was…just downright brutal.”
Joan:  “Thank you.  I try.  And Alyssa?”
Alyssa:  Thoughtful look.  “The fiery wall wasn’t much fun.  But the worst part was waking up and finding Teague gone.”  She shot Teague a glare.  “Coward.  And, oh, God.  Mitch, my brother, rescuing me only to find condom wrappers on the floor.  I’ll never here the end of that.  Ever.”
Teague:  Easy, one shouldered shrug.  “If you hadn’t fried every brain cell I owned I would have remembered to pick them up before I bolted.”
Joan:  “For the record, that wasn’t my idea, it was Elisabeth’s.  You remember, my critique partner who gave Mitch his identity in the first place.”
Teague and Alyssa share a look.
Alyssa:  “That explains it.”
Joan:  “Okay, so can we talk about something that doesn’t relate to sex?”
Alyssa and Teague simultaneously:   “Why?”
Joan:  “Never mind.  I think we’re done here.”

As you can see, Alyssa and Teague are enjoying their relationship and their newfound freedom.
