Kendra Leigh - Author Spotlight



Bound For Hell, by Kendra Leigh

 SYNOPSIS

Ethan Wilde. Billionaire. Business Man.
Passionate. Powerful. Persistent.
One of New York’s most eligible bachelors.

Angel Lawson. Photographer. Gallery Owner.
Burdened. Beautiful. Broken.
A woman bound by the ropes of her sins and forgotten past, fearful of her future.

A chance encounter…

Consumed by guilt and tormented by the bonds of a tragic past, Angel Lawson’s life has been a solitary journey, condemned to live without love. In order to preserve her damaged soul from further rejection, sex is as close to a man as she ever plans to get.  She was already hell-bound for her sins. One more wasn’t going to hurt ...
... or so she thought.
When a passionate encounter throws her into the world of Ethan Wilde, Angel is helpless to resist the irrefutable desire and depth of raw emotion he ignites in her.
Ethan is as intense as he is sinfully sexy. Irretrievably captivated by Angel, he seems just as intent on understanding her naked soul as he is desperate to possess every inch of her naked body.
Angel craves his touch like a drug and yearns for the love he promises, but surrendering to the feelings he’s unearthed will mean exposing her fears and releasing the demons buried for a lifetime. Exposing her heart will leave it at risk of being broken.
Will Angel choose to leave her life of solitude behind, or is the choice no longer hers?
Ethan Wilde is used to getting what he wants … and what he wants is Angel.

Kendra Leigh – 5 Fun Facts

1.      I once slept overnight in a cave in the beautiful countryside of the English Lake District.
2.      My first kiss was at the tender age of six with a boy called David Greenhalgh and took place in a closet ... Oh the irony!
3.      Eating courgettes makes me think of crunching beetles. Needless to say, I can’t stand       them.
4.      I once floated in the Dead Sea. The experience was surreal … and salty.
5.      I am the Operations Director of a construction company.







1.     
What do you consider your greatest personal strength?
I think my strength could also be considered my weakness, in that I am an unreserved perfectionist. Although it is time consuming and exhausting, I know I’ve always given my best to everything I attempt. There is nothing worse than thinking you didn’t try hard enough or you could have done better.

2.      Where do you draw inspiration for your writing?
Inspiration can creep up and tap me on the shoulder at the most bizarre times and from the most unlikely sources. It can be from a song or a clip I’ve seen on a TV program or something someone randomly says, and suddenly I know how a conversation is going to start or how a scene will play out or how to describe the way someone is feeling, and I’m scuttling off to write it down before the idea evaporates. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and a sentence pops in my head and it’s perfect.

3.      Tell me about the inspiration for the Bound for Hell Trilogy?  When and how did the story idea come to you?
The initial idea came to me in the shower. In fact, I do a lot of plot outlining in the shower – must be something to do with the steam. At first, I didn’t know how many books it would be because I only knew the who and the what, I still had to figure out the how and the when. I saw it a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, with all the sides and corners and the main subject in place, but where to start with the sky? And then there’s what I call the glue, the pieces you have to find and develop before it all connects and begins to make sense.

4.      Do you listen to music while you write, or is it a distraction? What are some of  your go-to songs or artists when you need inspiration?
Listening to music while writing distracts me, but I do find listening before I write can help get me in the mood for a particular scene, especially if it’s an intense, emotive scene. Christina Perri is a favorite – she sings with such poignancy. I also love listening to Scala & Kolacny Brothers, the Belgian women’s choir. They sing some amazing renditions of popular musicians and bands. You’ll see they crop up in my books and playlists a lot.

5.      Three words that you would use to describe your Trilogy for your potential readers?
Heartrending … Enthralling … Sss-steamy!





COMING SOON….MORE OF THE BOUND SERIES

Bound For Salvation (June, 2015)


Hell was hot, but the flames of deliverance might be the ones
to burn …

For the first time in living memory, Angel Lawson feels cherished.

Ethan Wilde has taught her that love is possible for all, even the sinners among us. The bonds of his love free her from the shackles of her guilt. Inch by inch, he’s slid under her skin, folding himself around her soul like a soothing blanket. His love nourishes her starving heart, and his passion fuels the scorching flames of her deepest desires, driving her to the blissful edge of sweet insanity.

Brick by brick, she tears down the protective wall she’s built around her heart, and the ice inside begins to thaw.

To Ethan, Angel is the sole reason he exists, the blood in his veins, the drug to his addiction. He vows to mend her, to help her confront her demons and come to terms with a buried past that continues to haunt her.

But what lies beneath the surface of Ethan’s past?

Pasts left hidden to rot become dirty secrets. Secrets that can tear even the strongest love apart.

And secrets have a habit of revealing themselves when least expected ...


Bound For Nirvana (due in September 2015)


The bonds of their love saw them through the ravaging storm to the promise of peace and the chance to breathe …

Angel once believed her soul belonged to the Devil. Now she willingly gives every part of her—mind, body and soul—to the man whose love mends her a little more each day.

Ethan knows Hell is no place for an angel, especially not his Angel. He would sacrifice his soul every day of his life in order to save hers.

Fuelled by an almost obsessive desire, their need for each other ignites a passion that most couples could find destructive, but instead the flames of their possessive vigilance only seem to feed the fire of their insatiable hunger. The slaying of Ethan’s demons has made their fortress of love stronger than ever.
But Angel continues to paper over the cracks of her troubled past, running from the demons that chase her and the nightmares that plague her. When a twist of fate forces her to confront them, she finally begins to accept that her repressed memories need to be explored in order to attain the peace she craves.

But in her search for Nirvana, Angel discovers far more than buried memories.

What happens when the worst nightmare you’ve ever encountered is the one you wake up in?
When the past comes face to face with the present to reveal a web of diseased secrets and lies?
And the only road you can take leads to one destination … Hell.
