Title: Shade (The Last Riders, #6)
Author: Jamie Begley
Publication Date: March 16th 2015 by Young Ink Press

Plot: Want, need, pain, and joy were emotions Shade had never known existed before Lily. He knew the first time he saw her face that she was going to change his life forever. The thing he hadn’t expected was how hard it would be to hide who and what he was from her. Each step he took out of the shadows revealed more of himself, until only one secret remained. Shade arrogantly believed he could help heal the wounds from her past, but now it was his own past that was trying to tear them apart. To keep Lily, Shade would have to use the very skills he had been trying to hide from her. The skills that made him a killer … a soulless monster.

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆

The cold had been getting to him lately. I must be getting soft, Shade thought wryly to himself. He would have to remedy that soon; he couldn’t afford to be soft.

Protecting Lily kept him on his toes. He had never known a woman could manage to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time as often as her. She needed his skills and strength to keep her safe, and keeping Lily safe was his priority. Without her, he didn’t want to think what life would be like for him or others who would be unlucky enough to be near.

He stomped the snow off his boots before going inside the small office building. It was late enough there wouldn’t be anyone to see him enter.

Making his way to the office of Knox’s wife, he bent over the lock, taking a few minutes to open the door. Then, sliding inside, he made his way into her private office and went to the window which gave him the view he had come to observe.

As he watched Brooke lay her son down in his crib to sleep, in hindsight, Shade thought he should have known Lily would change his life. It had taken two women to satisfy him the night after seeing her for the first time and then hours before he could purge her from his mind until he could sleep. And that had only been the beginning.

Standing in the darkness, staring at the church across the street, his mind played back over the series of events that had led him to that place in time…

☆✮ Character Interview ✮☆

(Interviewing Shade while his little boy John is chewing on his daddy’s finger)

~Shade, for a guy who doesn’t say much, you sure had a lot to say in SHADE. What scene do you think will shock the fans the most?

The one where I visited Queen, Queens, or Queen’s City, how ever the fuck you spell it.

~Who knew you were such a “Matchmaker”, do you consider it part of your duties to protect the other guys by making sure they are happy?

My job as an enforcer is to keep them from making mistakes that will get them in trouble. If their happy and home with their woman, it’s a lot less work for me.

~Lily has grown so much throughout the book, have you finally loosened the reins and let her take care of you in return?

Yes, I’ve learnt Lily is more than able to handle all my needs.

~How’s your sex life (I’ll bet it’s better than ever!)?

Put it this way, neither of us are sleeping on the couch.

~How has having John changed your life?

John has shown me that I don’t care if I don’t get much sleep, that I’m always searching for his paci, or that I’m constantly changing that diaper of his. I’ve changed from being a self-centered bastard to a father.

~What do you foresee for you and Lily in the future? More kids? Will you stay in Treepoint?

Lily wants a house full of kid’s, and she never wants to leave Treepoint. I plan to make sure she get’s what she wants. I see at least fifty years ahead of us living and loving each other with our children and grandchildren around us. Oh, and of course The Last Riders.

~Last question…I think as your fans, we always just wanted to see you FINALLY happy. So, are you happy? Shade gazed down at his son, rubbing his thumb across his soft cheek.

“Yes, and I have a picture to prove it.” Shade nodded to the table which held a framed picture of him holding John with Lily beside them, his arm around her shoulders. He had a smile on his face.

☆✮ About the Author ✮☆

"I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education.

Taking after my mother, I've always love to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.

For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children who both graduated this year from college. My daughter does my book covers, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.

Currently I am writing four series of books- The Last Riders, The Dark Souls, The VIP Room, and Biker Bitches series.

All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best. In the near future I hope to take a weekend break and visit Vegas that will hopefully be this summer. Right now I am typing away on my next story and looking forward to traveling this summer!"
