Synopsis
For Sheila, a lie is a deal-breaker. But what if it’s not a lie? What if it’s just not the whole truth?
Being a popular Dom at the nicest BDSM club in town would be the top of the mountain for lots of guys, but for Steffen Cothran, it’s meant heartache. He lost someone he thought he might be able to have a future with to his best friend when Trish Stinson and Clint Winstead patched things up. He knows he wants a relationship, but so far he’s had trouble finding that one person, the one he knows he's meant to be with, to make that happen.
That all changes when Trish and Clint walk into the club with Trish’s best friend, Sheila Brewster. Even though he's met her, he never really had much contact with her. But Clint has a plan: He’s looking for a Dom to protect Sheila in case her abusive ex-boyfriend manages to get paroled. And Clint happens to think that Steffen is a great candidate for that position.
Steffen and Sheila’s relationship starts casually and quickly grows into a promising romance. But one question makes all the difference, and when Steffen doesn’t lie but doesn’t tell the whole truth with his answer, Sheila’s left wondering if she can ever trust anyone again. And when Steffen’s little omission shows up on his doorstep in full-blown chaos, the relationship he’d had such high hopes for is shattered, possibly forever.
In the aftermath, Sheila sets a course for self-destruction that turns out to be more dangerous than anyone could’ve imagined. With no one to blame but himself, Steffen finds it hard to help a woman who won’t have anything to do with him.
Two broken hearts. One huge mistake. A few really bad choices. And a lifetime of pain if things can’t be righted. It may be impossible to mend the broken trust, and their love could be lost forever.
The second in the Me, You, and Us series following Adventurous Me, Steffen’s story in Unforgettable You is funny, smart, sweet, kinky hot, and heartbreaking. It’s a tale of what happens when you forget that there’s not a lot of difference between a lie and a partial truth, and what love really means when two people belong together.

Interview with the Doms of Bliss
Hey, it’s Deanndra and I’m here with Clint Winstead, Steffen
Cothran, and Dave Adams from Bliss. Guys, it’s great to have you here.
STEFFEN: Thanks! It’s good to be here.
CLINT: Yeah, it is.
DAVE: I can’t think of two better knuckleheads to be sitting
here with.
CLINT: Feel the love.
STEFFEN: Wow. Thanks, Dave.
DAVE: You guys know I love you. I have to say, I’ve watched
one of these guys grow up . . . well, actually, when you get right
down to it, I’ve watched them both grow up and –
STEFFEN: Again, thanks, Dave. You do realize I’m forty-five,
right?
DAVE: Couldn’t prove it by me.
CLINT: He knows you pretty well, Cothran.
STEFFEN: Don’t worry, Winstead – it’ll be you next.
DEANNDRA: Are you guys always like this?
CLINT: Absolutely. We’re tons of fun.
DAVE: Tons of bullshit is more like it.
DEANNDRA: Okay, so . . . what would you say
is the hardest part of being a Dominant?
DAVE: Okay, you two experts, why don’t you take this one?
CLINT: Oh, god. Well, let’s see . . . I think
the hardest part of being a Dom is finding ways to challenge your submissive
without overwhelming them. I mean, driving a sub into subspace is a form of
overwhelming them, I suppose, but it’s different. Subspace is more of an emotional
and physical overload, wouldn’t you say?
STEFFEN: That’s a good way to put it. By overwhelming, I
think he’s trying to say frightening or hurting them. Yes, some subs get off on
pain, but you don’t want to physically injure them, although I really do
believe there are some subs out there who want to be physically injured. They
find that arousing. Me? I don’t want to physically injure anyone. I like
applying the pain, but I don’t want someone injured.
CLINT: Yes, what he said. It’s one thing to leave a mark.
It’s another to draw blood. If that’s what they want, it’s one thing, but to do
that while they scream their safeword and just ignore it? Not cool.
DAVE: Do that at Bliss and I’ll bounce your ass into next
week.
CLINT: He will too. I’ve seen him do it.
STEFFEN: Not pretty.
DEANNDRA: And what do you think the best thing is about
being a Dominant? Steffen?
STEFFEN: Hmmmm. I’d say . . . the moment I
like best is that moment when the submissive is doing what I’ve told her to do
to satisfy me and then I stop her just before I get there and turn my attention
to her. I delay my gratification because I want her to be satisfied before I
take my pleasure, and I have no doubt that I can satisfy her. When you do that,
you don’t have to require her submission – you get it automatically
because she’s so satisfied that she’s desperate to please you.
DEANNDRA: Really?
CLINT: Oh, yeah, absolutely. If you do that, if that
submissive knows that you were almost there and you decided to forego that for
their pleasure, that’s true power. She’ll walk through fire for you. And the
promise of your own satisfaction is incentive to please her. It’s kind of,
um . . .
DAVE: Reciprocity.
CLINT: Exactly!
STEFFEN: Yeah, I’ve heard these so-called Doms talk about
how they won’t let their subs orgasm for like two weeks. A good Dominant not
only wants their submissive satisfied, it’s their job to satisfy that submissive. I’ve heard of submissives who want
to be spanked, whipped, beaten, slapped, tied up, gagged, blindfolded, locked
in cages, burned, cut, but I’ve never talked to one who wanted to be sexually
frustrated for two weeks. That’s just ridiculous. Maybe they’re out there, but
I haven’t found them.
DAVE: And I want to speak to something right now. These
women swoon over Dominants who want to humiliate them, subject them to
horrifying things, ridicule them, talk to them like shit, basically just use
them. And they flock to these guys. I just don’t get it. Yeah, we play with
them, but we play with their bodies, not their minds and hearts, and there’s
mutual satisfaction involved. We try to foster an atmosphere of meeting needs,
not offering submissives for fodder. That’s no good. Somebody goes away feeling
smug and superior, and somebody else goes away unsatisfied and maybe even
feeling hurt. More than being a Dominant, I’m a man. If the woman I’ve been
with goes away unsatisfied? I should be embarrassed, not bragging. Guys?
CLINT: Absolutely.
STEFFEN: Couldn’t agree with you more.
DEANNDRA: Wow. I like you guys. So, who’s got a permanent
sub?
CLINT: Me! Sorry. Gotta brag.
STEFFEN: Working on it.
DAVE: Not interested.
DEANNDRA: Dave, I’m sorry but I don’t believe you.
DAVE: Believe it.
DEANNDRA: Sorry. Don’t.
CLINT: Yeah, don’t. He’s lying.
DAVE: No I’m not!
STEFFEN: He is. Guaranteed.
DAVE: You guys are full of shit.
DEANNDRA: I agree with them. If the right submissive walked
in, you’d be on her like a hangover on Sunday morning.
DAVE: I already AM on ‘em that way. I just don’t want to
keep ‘em.
DEANNDRA: Okay, Dave, you just keep telling yourself that.
Thanks for talking with me, guys. Congratulations, Clint.
CLINT: Thanks!
DEANNDRA: Steffen, good luck.
STEFFEN: Thank you.
DEANNDRA: Dave, love ya.
DAVE: Love you too, darlin’.
DEANNDRA: Aw, that makes me smile.
The writing of Unforgettable
You
I never intended to write Unforgettable You. Adventurous
Me was supposed to be an independent novel, but I kept having readers ask
me about Steffen and Dave. They were pretty solid characters, so I decided I’d
give it a whirl.
In Adventurous Me,
we saw Steffen get his hopes with Trish dashed. I knew he was crushed; I didn’t
realize how crushed he was until I started to hear from him in Unforgettable You. He was really
counting on being able to step into that relationship, and being the first Dom
there with whom she scened played a huge role in that belief for him. Even
though he and Clint are very, very good friends, Steffen pretty much assumed
the “all’s fair in love and war” mentality when things fell apart. I was
pleased that Clint held no ill will for him; in fact, he felt somewhat guilty
that Steffen was hurt so badly.
I also had no idea what had gone on in his past, and I
certainly couldn’t have anticipated how horrifying it was. When it turned out
to be almost as bad for Clint, I felt like pure evil had descended into the
story, and I had to capture that, its essence and terrible truth, so it could
be understood for what it was and how it had shaped his life.
I think Unforgettable
You is actually a lesson on how the things we grow up with and experience
can shape our lives, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. Steffen
loved his father and missed him once he’d passed away, but it was a simple and
old-fashioned notion instilled by the man that unknowingly colored his adult
behavior and led to problems for him. What Steffen learned is a classic example
of believing something just because someone in authority said it was so. I’ve
seen that over and over in the area where I live. But unlike in a lot of
instances, Steffen’s belief didn’t cause him to be narrow- or
closed-minded – instead, it caused him to behave in a particular way that
hurt him and the people he most wanted to be near.
When I met Steffen in the first book, I thought the same
thing everyone else did, that he was an ego-driven stud-wannabe who was just
gaming his way through the female factor at the club. But I was so very wrong
about him; Steffen is so much more than that. I’m glad I had a chance to really
get to know him.
And you might find it strange that I talk about him that
way, but it’s all true. One of the things I love to do is build strong,
well-defined characters, and then let them talk. And talk they do. Adventurous Me was a mess that almost
didn’t happen because I started writing it in third person omniscient point of
view and it was horrible. I thought about it and thought about it and finally
wondered: What will happen if I just let
Trish tell her story? The result was the funny, smart, snarky, sexy voice
of the book that I published. It just made sense to me to let Steffen tell his
own story, and tell it he does in his own sexy, smart, sweet, and sometimes sad
voice. I thought of him as just an extraneous character in the first book, but
he’s so much more, so complex and emotional. When all of his protectiveness
kicked in, I wanted to cheer. But I couldn’t; I was writing. Ever tried to type
and clap at the same time? Doesn’t work!
Sheila was just Trish’s “wing woman” in the first book, but
I knew she had more story to tell also. As a friend, she was a good one; as a
main character, she’s a great one. I love the way their personalities play off
each other. Where Clint and Trish’s personalities are more balancing and
complementary, Clint more conservative and Trish wild and crazy, Steffen and
Sheila are very well matched in their personalities. They both like to laugh,
both have quick, sarcastic wits, and both are committed to each other. It’s a
match made in heaven; well, once they get finished slogging through hell.
In all, Unforgettable
You wrote itself pretty quickly once Steffen started to tell his story.
Some parts were harder to get out onto the page than others, and in several
spots I spent a good deal of time crying – couldn’t help it. Just as in Adventurous Me, the plot in Unforgettable You took me some places I
wasn’t quite prepared to go, and left me wounded and bleeding a few times too.
But in the end it all works out as it should.
I think my favorite line was this one to Steffen from
Sheila: “I want to know you, really know you. You have a beautiful soul.”
Thanks, Sheila – I couldn’t have said it better myself.

"Boring? Tiresome? Predictable? We'll see about that."
When Trish's husband of almost 30 years announces that he's leaving her because she's "boring," she sets out to find an adventure. Her attempt to drink her heartbreak away drops her onto a handsome gentleman who invites her to have an adventure, and Trish can't help but say yes.
She embarks on that adventure, but her path keeps crossing with that of another - Clint Winstead, a Dominant at the club, Bliss, and the one person in the place who seems to despise her. And that's fine with Trish. After all, there are plenty of other Doms there who want to play.
But when an annual event at the club throws Trish and Clint together for two weeks, both of them are horrified, not by the pairing, but by the feelings they're trying hard to deny. As the time passes, it's harder and harder to deny what they know is true - that is, until one nearly-tragic incident that almost changes both their lives irreparably. And when Trish realizes that continuing on with her commitment could cost her the ultimate - her life - she knows that it has to end. But does it?
Trish is the queen of second chances. But this second chance might just come at a price too high to pay. A little adventure is a good thing, but perhaps she's gotten far more adventure than she can handle.

About The Author
For as long as I can remember, I've been a writer . . .
and it has served me well. I wrote for local publications, wrote marketing and advertising materials, wrote for academic publications, and eventually grew jaded with the writing profession as I often watched others take credit for my hard work. I retreated into the world of 3-D art in the fiber and textile mediums and hid out in a world of colors and textures. But, truth is, there was always a story or two in my head. It wasn't until Nikki and I met in my imagination that I decided it was time to let those stories out, and I'm glad I did. My readers now get to enjoy the fruits of my imagination and, believe me, it runs wild!
On the personal side, I've been happily married to my lover and best friend for over thirty years, and I have two wonderful adult kids who've blessed me with two excellent choices of life partners. When I'm not writing, I'm playing with my three crazy little dogs, hiking in a local recreation area, kayaking, working out at the gym, tending my herbs, cooking, or doing some kind of research.
But I'd really rather be writing!
