For more than a year, Tanner West has
tried to shake his feelings for his long time best friend, Paisley Bronson. She
was the perfect girl to fit the lyrics in all his favorite songs –
the girl he had always wanted. When she fell in love with another man before
Tanner had the chance to tell her how he felt, he was left with no resolve to
find love again. Burying himself in school and easy girls has become his new
lifestyle, but when Kellee Brooks shows up at his favorite bar, he begins to
think there may be another verse to his song, after
all.
Kellee Brooks moved to New York City for one thing: escape.
Growing up in a small town where her entire life was planned out for her,
she’s desperate to break free and find herself without following the
same path as her mom. Kellee thought working at the local dive bar would mean
more money for school, but when she meets the smoldering, scarred honey eyes of
Tanner West, she finds there’s much more hiding in the smoky building
than just a few tips.
With Paisley still haunting Tanner and Kellee vowing to save
anyone the trouble of loving her, will the pain and fear keep them apart
– or will they find a way to rewrite their song
together?
Break free with this heartbreaking story of letting go and letting
love in.

My heart
feels like it’s about to beat right out of my chest. Tanner is
looking at me like he’s not good enough to touch me and like he
can’t keep his fucking hands off me all at the same time. I inhale
deep, my breath shaky as I try to find the words to say. I want to talk about
it more – about what she is to him, about when she’s coming
and what I’m going to have to deal with – but right now all
I can think about is how his hands feel on my waist, and how I wish he would
touch every inch of my body with those hands.
“Kiss me,” I
breathe.
Tanner doesn’t waste another second. His lips find mine,
soft and gentle at first, but then a fire consumes us both and I’m
biting his neck as he lifts me from my chair. He kisses down my collarbone and
then back up to my ear, sending chills cascading down my arms and legs. I moan
softly, running my fingers through his hair and tugging a little as I pull his
lips back to mine. He slides his tongue between my lips and takes my mouth,
deepening the kiss as his hands explore my
body.
“How long until dinner?” he pants between
kisses.
“Maybe twenty
minutes.”
“That’ll do,” he replies, carrying
me to the couch.
Tanner’s hands are hungry as he positions himself on top
of me, pulling the straps of my tank top down to kiss my shoulders. He nips and
sucks softly, trailing a line from my shoulders, to my neck, across my collar
bone, and back again. Slowly, he kisses a little lower, sucking at the swell
just above the hem of my top. I inhale sharply, my fingers gripping his
hair.
“You taste so sweet,” he mumbles against my
skin, lighting it on fire. He lifts my shirt and slowly kisses down my stomach,
stopping just above the hem of my shorts. He blazes a trail of fire with his
tongue from one hip to the other, working the buttons and zipper until he has
my shorts loose enough to pull down my shaking legs and throw across the room.
He smiles up at me, his sexy half grin silently killing me, and then he
completely takes my breath away – because he pulls my panties off
with his teeth.
With. His.
Teeth.
Suddenly, my
heart is beating in my throat. I’m not a virgin, but I’m
definitely no where near as experienced as Tanner, no matter how cocky my
façade may be. My legs are shaking uncontrollably and I feel it
start to move up to my hands. Tanner stops kissing my thighs and looks up at
me, concern laden on his face.
“Are you okay?” he asks, moving to position
himself on top of me again. He brushes the hair from my face and pulls my shaking
hand to his lips, kissing my fingers softly as he waits for me to
reply.
I nod, though
not confidently. “I hate admitting this to you, but I’m not
that experienced.”
He smiles
devilishly, his eyes lighting the fire in my stomach again. “You
think I don’t know that? Why do you think I’m going so
slow?”
I let out of
a puff of air, “This is
slow?”
His grin
grows wider, “Trust me – if I had it my way, your ankles
would have been on my shoulders the first night I saw
you.”

Who inspired you to
start writing?
My mom, definitely. She's actually very into reading
like I am and is a great writer herself. I hope to one day convince her to
write a novel, too. She inspired me when I was very young and encouraged me to
pursue my love of writing, no matter what. Everything I've written from
awful love poems in high school (yuck!) to decent pieces in college, she has
always been there for me.
Why romance?
Great question! I have no idea. I always pictured myself
writing non-fiction or nothing at all, but one of my final capstone courses in
college was an advanced fiction course that really turned me on to the
possibilities of creating a story. Why romance specifically? Well, we could
blame it on my husband for showing me love so early in life, but it's
probably more Disney's fault than anyone else's. I'm a
girl, I love to love, what could be better than romance
writing?
How do you write your
novels?
Sporadically and without any structure at all. Sometimes
I'll be driving and I'll whip out my phone and record something
to write down later. Sometimes I'll write a scene and sometimes
I'll just write about my character to get to know them better.
Eventually, I sit down and map everything out so that I don't forget
anything (blonde moments are a habit for me) and then I slowly start piecing it
all together. It makes sense to me, but if I told any of my professors this
they might kill me lol.
When did you know you wanted to write a
novel?
Honestly, it hit me out of the blue. I got the idea for Tag
Chaser when I was in the shower and I just couldn't shake it. I was
dreaming about the characters, writing random scenes in my head, and just
thinking about them constantly. I decided it was a sign to stop being so scared
of failure and just write it. The way I see it, the worst thing that could
happen is no one likes it - and in that case it will still be loved by me and
that's what matters.
Why should readers pick up Tag
Chaser?
Tag Chaser is a unique story that I think hasn’t
been told yet. Often times we fall in love with characters who are so perfect,
either individually or for each other. Tag Chaser is about exploring our
imperfections and learning not to fight that chemistry that sometimes we just
feel, whether it’s easy or not. I think anyone who reads Tag Chaser
will laugh and love, and those are both two very beautiful
things.
Kandi Steiner is a Creative Writing and Advertising/Public
Relations graduate from the University of Central Florida living in Tampa with
her husband. Kandi works full time as a social media specialist, but also works
part time as a Zumba fitness instructor and blackjack dealer.
Kandi started writing back in the 4th grade after reading
the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own
newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught
on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her
“freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing
romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic
(like most girls brought up on Disney
movies).
When Kandi isn’t working or writing, you can find her
reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending
time with her friends and family. She enjoys beach days, movie marathons, live
music, craft beer and sweet wine – not necessarily in that order.
