Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. Today I have Faye Hall visiting with her new release, Indulgence & Temperance. Tell us, Faye, an interesting or humorous incident that happened to you and ended up in one of your books. I guess the funniest thing that happens to me every book is when I’m writing the most passionate scenes. It usually goes something like this:- I make myself a hot drink and sit in front of the computer. My children are occupied with their activities, so I take the opportunity to get a bit more done on my latest manuscript… “He slid his hand under her skirts, his fingers searching for the milky white silkiness of her thigh, his lips caressing the soft skin of her throat. He wanted to…” Suddenly behind me is a loud sound of footsteps stomping towards me. “Mummy, my brother took my shopkins thingy!” shouts my seven year old. With a family as large as mine I have got used to this kind of thing happening. There was another time when my teenage son asked me how the new book was going and if he could read some of it. The look on the poor boys face when I explained my books were probably a bit too steamy for him for a few more years. LOL, thanks for sharing Faye, I too have found myself in the midst of a passionate scene and my husband or something interrupts me. Share with us a little about your new release, Indulgence & Temperance. ![]() Back Cover Blurp: Would you abandon the woman you love for your own indulgence? Beth Meridian has returned home, hoping to leave her sordid past behind her and settle into a quiet life. When her childhood friend, Hannah Raeburn, offers her a place to stay, Beth knows it won’t be long until she runs into Hannah’s brother, Daniel. What she doesn’t expect is for him to reignite feelings deep in her heart, reminding her of the kiss they shared before she left town. Daniel Raeburn’s past is scandalous, his sinful indulgences allowing him more wealth than he could ever need. Still, he wants more, and his gluttonous appetite for wealth and women leads him to buy into a partnership at the local hellfire club. When Hannah goes missing, Beth and Daniel follow her trail through the Australian outback. Witnessing the womanizer Daniel is, Beth flees on a cattle train headed north. Desperate to explain his actions, Daniel follows her. Arriving in the small town of Jarvisfield, Daniel is shocked to learn that Beth is now the owner of the largest cattle company in the area. He’s even more shocked to discover that the preacher controlling the town, and stealing from the townspeople, is his once business partner William Maxon. He’s convinced this man is also responsible for his sister’s disappearance. When he learns William has Beth picked out as his next victim, Daniel knows he must do whatever it takes to make her listen to the truth. But she has no interest in hearing anything he has to say. Faced with losing the two women he loves, Daniel is forced to choose between their freedom and the possessions and wealth he has hoarded over the years. But even if he gives it all up, he still might lose everything. Content Warning: contains sex, strong language, and some violence This sounds really interesting. Can you share an excerpt? “What would you have me do? Pretend that this man chasing my sister is genuine and not some money-grabbing monster?” “You don’t know him,” she tried again. “Neither does she,” he said, his voice raised. “And neither do you.” She went to walk past him, following Hannah’s direction out the back of the house. He reached out, his hand on her forearm stopping her. “I didn’t mean to sound so harsh, Beth,” he said. “I’m sorry.” She nodded as if understanding. “I understand that you love your sister. So do I. I shan’t just sit back and watch her walk into a trap. Nor shall I stand by and watch as her brother robs her of a chance of what may be happiness.” “How dare you presume to know what I want for my sister.” She pulled away from him. “I dare because I grew up with you. Every time your sister wanted to do something you always had to interfere.” “She is naïve,” he told her. “Had I not taken control of her life, heaven knows what would have happened to her.” She raised her brow. “I understand you need to protect Hannah against lecherous men. That doesn’t explain why you had to be her constant chaperone when she was meeting up with me.” He lowered his gaze. “I needed to go with her.” “Do you think that I would also take advantage of your sister?” she asked. “That I have prolonged our friendship only so I might get my claws into her fortune?” He shook his head, his gaze cautiously rising back to hers. “I know you would do anything for my sister, Beth.” “Then why did you need to follow Hannah everywhere we went?” “I did it for you,” he whispered, the words being dragged from him. “What?” she asked. He smiled softly. “I played chaperone for my sister so I might be able to see you,” he repeated. “In the hope that you would notice me.” “All you ever had to do was ask,” she whispered. Approaching him, her lips gently fused to his. His hands went to her upper arms, pushing her away. “What are you doing?” he asked. Trying desperately to grip onto what remained of his control, he reminded himself that being here with this woman so intimately was far from appropriate. No matter how much he desired her, he couldn’t afford to succumb to such passion. Not there, and certainly not now. She shook off his hold, her fingers hesitantly going to the buttons of his shirt. Slowly, she began undoing them one by one. “Do you remember the last time we saw each other before I left town?” she asked. His hands went to hers, stilling her movements. “The image of you that day…” His words drifted off. He didn’t understand why she was acting this way with him, but he couldn’t deny that her movements were ripping at his restraint. He had always hungered for this woman, but now that she was there with him like this, he couldn’t help but wonder why. “Why did you send for me that day?” he asked, his words strained. “I wanted to see you before I left town,” she muttered. Shaking off his hands, she continued unbuttoning his shirt. “Do you ever wonder what would have happened had your sister not arrived?” Let's check this YouTube video out.

LOL at your story. My grandchildren (oldest is 10) want to know when they can read my books. I said when they're grown-ups. My sci-fi romances are too steamy for young minds. LOL

Ha! I won't let me kids near my books right now. My daughter is 17. Maybe when she's in college? Anyway, the book sounds great! Good luck to you!
