I am so happy to have the opportunity to give a shout out about my friend and fellow author, Sadie Dane's new release, Protected by the Knight. If you like your romance with some heat, you'll love this! Check out the interview, and a teaser!
Protected by the Knight (#3 in the Loving the Knight Series)
What prompted you to write Protected by the Knight?
Protected by the Knight is actually the third book in my Loving the Knight series. Each book before was written to be enjoyed as a stand-alone, however there are repeat, or cameo, characters. That being said, Edward appeared first in the second book of the series, Possessed by the Knight as the hero’s brother. Edward was such a fun, sexy character to write, I was immediately intrigued about who he would end up with, what his sexy story was. I was able to discover that with Protected by the Knight and have to say (though I am biased) that he couldn’t have ended up with anyone better.
What do you find most attractive in a man that you may not like in real life?
As a writer of alphas I can answer this one quickly. I would love that worshipping, constantly cared for and protected type of man…for a while. I could see it getting old but then I could just misbehave and he’d show me what happens to naughty girls and…what was the question?
What have you written that you thought you would never write?
This may be a copout but, Protected by the Knight, marks my first dual POV story (a story written where the reader is in the head of two characters, in this case the hero and heroine). It wasn’t that I never thought I would, but that I simply never thought about it. That is, I never thought about it up until the point that it was all I could think about. At that point it seemed simply silly that I hadn’t done a dual POV erotic romance yet.
Would you let your mom read your books?
I want to be cool and grownup and say of course I would, we are all adults here. But she is my mom and what if she liked them? This is all a little moot considering it was her romance novels that got me hooked in the first place, but I think my young brain simply blocked that detail, call it self-preservation.
At the pub, what is your drink of choice?
I’ll try it all (is that really a good thing when talking about liquor?). I like a frosty pint on a cold day and a fruity martini when I am feeling fancy. However, my true passion is in the themed get-together and matching cocktail. I can make a theme out of anything. Having nachos on a boring Tuesday? Why not pair it with margaritas and watch fun, silly movies like Machete or Once Upon a Time in Mexico?
Summary: Sir Edward Caldwell is not the type of knight to entertain notions of love. He has seen how little it takes to break a vow, and refuses to ever end up the fool. So when he's ordered to protect a visiting princess, he seizes the opportunity to add a royal notch to his bedpost. What he never expected was that the princess would be just as much of a player as he is.
Princess Lotte has mere weeks before her arranged marriage is to take place and, despite her personal guard's wishes, plans to spend that time experiencing everything life has to offer. Luckily, fate sends her just the knight for the job. But when she finds herself over his knee, with her heart on her sleeve, she realizes she's playing a dangerous game - without knowing the rules
Blurb:
Chapter One
"Of course, dove. You are my everything. Without you there is no meaning." Edward performed his lines with the perfection of a seasoned actor. He gripped the supple cheeks of the vixen straddling him. She bit her lower lip, an amazing actress by her own right, as her bright blue eyes burned. They both knew the parts they needed to play.
"What if my husband finds out?" she whispered as if their love had robbed her of enough air to speak at a normal level.
Edward let his hands slide up her torso where he held a breast in each palm. His cock hardened at the dessert that was to come. He'd sampled this treat before and knew it was worth the theatricality required to taste it. "Let him find out," Edward hissed, his lips vibrated against her neck. "Let the world find out!"
She wailed in longing, their scene had reached its climax and now it was time for Edward to reach his. His cock celebrated its near victory. His hands joined the party as he lifted the sultry siren up enough to delve into her silky folds.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Someone knocked urgently at his door. Edward turned his head from the sound and lifted his hips. The woman froze, wide eyes transfixed on the very door Edward was happy to ignore.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
"Piss off!"
The woman shrieked. "What if it's my husband?"
Moments from glory, Edward clucked his tongue and shook his head softly. "No, no," he placed a soothing hand on her cheek. "I'm sure it is nothing import—"
"Urgent message from the King!" came the voice from the other side of the door.
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph," Edward bit the words out, sliding from beneath the beautiful, blonde filly. He watched her slide back and out of sight before yanking the door open, not bothering to cover himself. "What is it?"
A young, very serious looking messenger glanced once at the parchment he held before speaking at a volume loud enough for the entire castle to hear. "The King requests your discreet presence at a secret—"
"Excuse me," Edward interrupted the messenger, leaning one arm up and against the doorway, "if it is a secret, should you be screaming?"
The messenger remained, his mouth wide open, his forehead crinkling as if he was pondering life's greatest questions. Edward looked past the goldfish and spied a smirking figure lurking in the shadows on the other side of the path.
"I am quite busy," Edward said to the figure in the shadows.
Caldwell leaned forward and crossed his arms. "Not anymore."

Bio
Sadie Dane was born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, a place where coffee is an acceptable beverage choice at any hour and where umbrellas are for quitters. Her love of romance novels brought her to an early life of crime and deception as she became an expert at stealing her mother’s old bodice rippers, memorizing exactly how they were placed on the shelf and returning them, unnoticed. She is happy that these days she can read and write freely, using less covert tactics.
