Taken As Theirs
Quick Q&A with Kryssie Fortune:
Q: What’s you favorite place to write?
A: Anywhere, anytime I have a moment. On the bus. In the car. On an Aeroplan, or sat at the computer in my front room. In summer, I love to write in garden shed. It’s a cozy den with tubs of flowers outside.
Q: What inspires you as an author?
A: Great writing. I read an eclectic mix form paranormal, though BDSM to literary classics. The best book for a writer I’ve ever read is On Writing, by Stephen King. It’s my go to when I doubt myself – which is often.
Q: Why do you write romance, and why your genre of romance?
A: I write romance because it’s what I love to read. I don’t confine myself to any genre within that. I’ve written contemporary and regency, but my first love is paranormal. I love the worldbuilding and the dominant heroes that go along with it.
Q: What are you working on next and when can we expect to see it?
A: I’m writing another Regency, but it’s naughtier than most. I think it runs off in a direction no one will expect. I know where it’s heading, but for the first time ever, I’ve hit writer’s block. I will get there, but each word feels like pulling hen’s teeth.
Q: What would you do if you couldn’t write?
A: Before I retired, I worked for one of Britain’s top soaps – Emmerdale. Leaving there was like leaving a family. I moved to the coast and spend my time walking by the sea or going out with friends.
Q: Do you listen to music when you write? What is your go-to playlist and why?
A: I occasionally have the radio on or listen to Spotify. My playlist is usually something old. Abba and Elves feature highly. I prefer to write in silence, though. Otherwise I end up singing along and stop typing.
Q: How do you, your friends, and your fans encourage you when you need a pick-me-up?
A: I think about how far I’ve come since I did a creative writing course. I can’t help but be grateful. I’m lucky to have a great group of author friends who I can talk to about writing issues. My Facebook friends always cheer me up, too. Since moving to Bridlington, I’ve made some wonderful friends. One, Wendy, is an evil woman. She always leads me astray. Or maybe I lead her. Either way, we have too much fun together to be down about anything.
About Taken As Theirs:
As a fertile woman in an infertile world, no wonder she was TAKEN AS THEIRS.
As a breeder–one of the few fertile women left in a ruined, plague-ravaged world–Cassie would fetch a handsome price at auction, and selling her to the highest bidder was exactly what her captors had in mind… until two fearsome beasts decided to take her for themselves.
Eli and Dane have chosen Cassie for their mate, and when she makes a foolish attempt at escape she quickly ends up tearfully promising obedience as her bare bottom is soundly and shamefully punished. Her body’s response to their stern dominance cannot be denied, however, and it isn’t long before she is screaming out her intense, helpless pleasure as she is roughly and thoroughly claimed. But will Eli and Dane’s pack accept a human girl or will Cassie be an outsider forever?

Excerpt from Taken As Theirs:
Goosebumps covered Cassie’s flesh. Tingles raced between her legs, tiny electric sparks that warmed her blood. One kind word and her good intentions would crumble—just like her sisters’ chance of freedom if she told this drop-dead gorgeous pair about them.
What with the vampire auction and that nightmare descent of the cliff, she couldn’t take much more. Cassie had been a fool to think she could escape. Completely drained, she was at the werewolves’ mercy
Her imagination worked overtime. Wolves were pack animals. Suppose they decided to share her around the crew? The vampires certainly would have, and she didn’t expect werewolves to behave any better.
She cowered when Eli pulled a knife, but he sawed through the wet rope binding her to his brother. Her legs folded, and only Dane’s strong grip kept her upright. Sheaving his knife, Eli swept her into his arms.
He gave her his best Pepsodent-white smile. “Foolish little princess, so eager to return to the vampires who will abuse you. You’re safe here, despite the unconventional start to our friendship.”
Like a half-drowned kitten, she dripped water onto his trousers. He smelled of summer breezes and crops ripening in the fields. So cold her teeth had stopped chattering, she let go of her fears and let Eli take charge. Heat flowed from his chest to hers, but it wasn’t enough. She felt like an ice cube lost at the back of a freezer.
He carried her through a narrow galley, and into the captain’s cabin. She’d expected twin bunks and a tiny space. Instead, this room reminded her of Nelson’s cabin on the HMS Victory. The back wall consisted of window panes, giving her a view of the distant cliffs. The view fascinated and delighted her but the cabin’s four-poster bed terrified her. It covered more than half the room and had enough room for three if not four.
Dane pulled towels from a trunk then tossed her one of his brother’s jumpers. “Get dry, princess then get into bed and warm up. We’re going to lock you in while we get underway in earnest, but we’ll be back with hot stew and a hot coffee soon.”
After living on half rations for a week, her mouth watered at the thought of a decent meal. That these dominant werewolves cared for her welfare stunned her. Then they offered her a coffee. Utter luxury.
Emotions set in, and tears filled her eyes. She broke into a cold sweat that turned her forehead clammy. She’d never felt so weary in her life—not even when she’d swum marathons.
Dane lifted her chin and gazed into her eyes. “Don’t cry, little human. You’re safe now.”
The intensity in his gaze felt like a shot of energy for her soul. It made her feel hot and tingly inside. She craved his touch, and maybe his kiss. A fresh set of shivers beset her. This time, they were more about her forbidden attraction for the werewolves than the cold.
About Kryssie Fortune:
I love alpha heroes with superpowers. As a child, I was addicted to DC comics. Now I love the Marvel movies. I’d love to write a hero like Thor or Aquaman, but I have a soft spot for Chris Pine too. He was great as Captain Kirk in Star Trek, but I loved him Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman.
I like my hero’s larger than life and twice as sexy. My Regency men are strong-willed soldiers who survived Waterloo. My contemporary ones are all former soldiers—Doms building a new life after their service. My paranormal heroes are mostly powerful shifters, but there’s the occasional vampire, fae, or demon among them.
