Why I Love Levi Wolfe
Hi, everyone! Thanks for letting me jump in here and blog with you about my new book. While it’s true that I have to be in love with every hero I write or it just doesn’t work for me, I admit that I have a special place in my heart for Leviticus Wolfe. Here are four reasons why I’m so “gone” for this guy.
1. He’s my ultimate type. I love bad boys – guys who are badass but have bleeding hearts. Levi is bad in a good way. Growing up in a challenging environment, he developed a hard shell, but somehow he has managed to remain kind and compassionate. He doesn’t go looking for a fight, but he doesn’t back down from them either. His heart is scarred, but still big and beautiful.
2. He leads and never follows. Levi takes charge. When he sees something or someone he wants, he goes after it. His mission in life is to bring about order from chaos. He doesn’t like lies or turbulence in his life because that’s what was around him all the time when he was young. He doesn’t like to feel that he’s not in charge and in control – which is why being with Trudy is both thrilling and aggravating for him. When he’s with her, he’s not sure-footed or certain of the direction he’s moving toward with her.
3. He knows he’s deeply flawed. Although he’s handsome, gifted, and successful, Levi knows he has deep flaws and wounds that haven’t healed. He wants to be a better man, so he’s in therapy and working to exorcise his demons. But his main flaw is that he doesn’t trust others or his own heart. His intellect – knowing he should trust Trudy and allow himself to love her with all his heart – battles his honed instincts – guarding himself from further pain that would wipe out the progress he’s made in shedding his phobias and becoming “normal.”
4. He’s learning to love and be loved. Levi has never known deep, abiding love in his life and Trudy offers that to him. It frightens him because he feels unworthy of it and, yet, he wants it, desperately. Accepting such a gift will mean that he must reveal all of himself to Trudy, and when he does, he’s afraid she will decide he’s too messed up and she’ll leave him.
So, there you have it. Trudy has her work cut out for her, but she’s up to the challenge – I hope!

Excerpt:
“You don’t
realize how special you are, do you?”
Trudy smiled.
“Special to you.”
“Yes, and
special as a psychic.” Levi straightened, stood, and threw his leg over the
seat, sitting backwards in it to face her. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he
hauled her up against the back of the chair. “What I do isn’t anything special.
Talking to the deceased is a psychic staple. But what you can do . . .
connecting with the thoughts of a living being . . . that is rare. In fact, I
don’t know of anyone else who can actually do it. I know a couple of people who
claim to be able to, but you’re the only psychic I’ve ever met who is the
genuine article.”
She listened,
but found holes in his argument. “What you do is special. You told me yourself
that your accuracy sets you apart from other mediums.”
“Yes, that’s
right. I’m good. Damn good.” He winked at her. “But you’re a diamond among
crystals. You sparkle so brightly, you blind the rest of us.”
Her heart melted
into a puddle as he gazed at her with undisguised admiration. “I’m not . . . am
I? You really don’t know anyone who can do what I do?”
He shook his
head slowly, deliberately, his blue eyes shining. “Nary a one.” He regarded her
for a few moments before his lips twitched into a grin. “Does that freak you
out?”
“A little.” She
swallowed the lump in her throat so that her voice would emerge stronger.
“Quintara has told me that I’m one of a kind, but I figured she was
exaggerating – as she’s known to do.”
“This time your
flamboyant mentor wasn’t embellishing the truth.” He rested his hands on her
hips, his long fingers spreading across her jeaned backside. “At the risk of
freaking you out more, I think you’ve only begun to reveal the extent of what
you can do. You’re holding back because you’re afraid. I understand. I’ve been
there.” His fingers flexed on her hips. “Take your time. Let it come to you
gradually and don’t be scared. You’re strong and brave. You’ll be able to
handle it.”
“Handle what?”
She shook her head as a ball of nerves grew in her stomach.
“Your gift. Your
incredible gift.”
“You said you’d
help me.”
“And I will. I’m
here for you.”
She framed his
achingly handsome face in her hands and her heart doubled in size. “How’d I get
so lucky?”
“I’m the lucky
one.” He turned his face so that he could kiss her palm, but not before she saw
darkness pass through his eyes like a specter. “And you’ll agree with me
whole-heartedly once we’re in Missouri.”
