SYNOPSIS:
In the second installment of Shelly Bell's four-part
serialized erotic thriller, law student Kate Martin enters a world of dark
secrets and seductive fantasies at the exclusive sex club Benediction.
Restrained by duty …
Reeling from a threatening phone call and frightened that
her past will be revealed, Kate turns to the one man she can still trust: Nick.
She can't deny her attraction to him, yet she craves the passionate connection
she has with Jaxon.
Bound by passion …
Undercover at Benediction, Jaxon introduces Kate to the
sensual pleasures found in exhibitionism and voyeurism. While they mingle with
the club's patrons, Jaxon and Kate unearth clues about his wife Alyssa's last
days that could lead them to her killer. But as she investigates further, Kate
is shocked to learn of a cold case that is eerily similar to Alyssa's murder …
and when the evidence ties Jaxon to yet another death, Kate begins to question
everything she knows about her enigmatic lover.

TEN
REASONS YOU’D WANT
NICHOLAS
TRENTON FROM WHITE COLLARED AS YOUR BOYFRIEND
- In the middle of
the night, he’ll bring you hot cocoa and donuts.
- He doesn’t mind
that you make a lousy cup of coffee.
- He’s a loyal friend
who will defend you against a murder charge.
- Even though he’s
one of the top attorneys in the state, he does plenty of free legal work
for those who can’t afford it.
- He’s a great cuddler.
- He’ll lend you his
gun when someone tries to kill you.
- You’ve been
obsessed with him for years.
- He’s patient, kind,
and gentle…
- And a really good kisser.
- 10. Unlike Jaxon Deveroux, Nick’s baggage doesn’t include a murdered ex-wife.
TWENTY FUN FACTS ABOUT WHITE COLLARED
1. It
was inspired by a real Michigan murder.
2. I
began writing it in response to the ill-informed and prejudicial media reports
which sensationalized the case due to the alleged suspect’s involvement in the
BDSM lifestyle.
3. I
created the sex club, Benediction, from rumors I’ve heard throughout the years
that a similar exclusive club exists in Metro-Detroit.
4. White
Collared is a murder mystery. See if you can figure it out!
5. There’s
a love triangle between the heroine Kate Martin, her boss Nick Trenton, and her
client Jaxon Deveroux. Will you be #TeamJaxon or #TeamNick? I was rooting for
both of them. Together.
6. Kate
is from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and while she’s worked hard to get rid
of her accent, in her head (and mine), she sounds a bit like Marge from the
movie, Fargo.
7. Kate
rides a Harley. To work. In winter.
8. Everybody
in the book has a secret. Just remember that.
9. As
I wrote, I pictured Henry Cavill in the role of Jaxon Deveroux. He’s in Metro-Detroit
this summer along with Ben Affleck (with whom I share a birthday) shooting
Batman vs. Superman. I’m thinking of stalking them.
10. I
didn’t write the book and chop it into pieces to bilk readers out of their
hard-earned money. Trust me, I’m a reader too, and I love reading serials! I
wrote it as a serial to increase the excitement of the reading experience and
stimulate both mind and body.
11. I’ve
been watching General Hospital and other television serials for more than
thirty-five years. This book was born out of my love for cliffhangers. Who
remembers the summer when everyone waited for Dallas to return to find out Who
Shot J.R? (Let’s not mention the whole Bobby is alive and the previous season
was a dream fiasco.)
12. Each
part is only $.99 which means its $3.96 total for more than 400 pages.
13. White
Collared is releasing weekly which means you won’t forget what happened in the
previous installments.
14. It’s
a standalone. While I’d love to write more stories for Kate, all the loose ends
of White Collared are wrapped up at the end of the book, and she gets her happy
ending.
15. The
title refers to more than what the murder victim is wearing when she’s found.
When you read it, see how many ways the term white collared is used both
figuratively and literally.
16. It
has a couple of my favorite tropes- forbidden love and older man/younger woman.
In White Collared, it applies both to Jaxon and Nick.
17. Kate
is the opposite of me. She’s outdoorsy, athletic, and used to love to garden,
fish, and hunt. I prefer the indoors except when I’m laying by the pool, and I
kill flowers, hate fish, and won’t hunt for anything but a bargain on books.
18. The
character Nick Trenton is named after my friend who died our freshman year of
college.
19. I
don’t use a pen name.
20. I’m
hosting a forum on my Facebook author page so that readers can post their
theories and talk with each other about the installments. I may pop in now and
then to give hints and exclusive previews!
