Question: What is it that Mikah
Malloy desires, but within his soul, believes he doesn’t deserve?
Hi, everyone, Jessica Lee here, author
of the Ariel Estates series and its latest
installment, Breaking the
Ice. First of all, thanks so much for allowing me to guest post today
and introduce you to Gideon Haven. The initial thing that hits me
about the wolf shifter, after I’d mentally dragged myself away from
the green-eyed sex-on-a-stick creature’s body, was his confidence.
It rolled off him in waves. Not in an arrogant way. No. He wasn’t
trying to impress. His self-assuredness came as natural to him as
breathing.
I didn’t need to ask the question.
Because I already knew the answer. Gideon Haven was born to be an
alpha.
How about
we start with your childhood. What is one of your earliest memories?
“Hmm… I believe that would be when my brother, Josh and I
were kids, and my mother had taken us outside to play. One of the
other boys who’d joined us pushed Josh down. Josh starting crying,
and I remember this surge of anger taking me over, and I barreled
into the other boy, slamming him onto the ground. Next thing I knew,
my father was pulling me off him.” Gideon inhaled deep and shook
his head. “I couldn’t have been more than four or five, but the
memory is still very clear.” He chuckles. “My temper has always
gotten me into trouble. Still does.” What one might call a shy grin
turns up the male’s lip. But something tells me there’s nothing
innocent about Gideon Haven.
Are you involved in a romance? “Not
at the moment.” He shrugs. “I just got out of a long term
relationship. I’m thinking it’s probably not a good time to get
involved with anyone right now.”
Any reason why you’d say that?
“Uhm… Let’s just say I’m looking for a fresh start.”
Okay. That was very mysterious.
Favorite indulgence? “Are we
talking food, sex, or both?” He winks.
Whatever you’re willing to share.
“Well, if you’re talking food that would be a dark chocolate
mousse. Decadent. Delicious.
Sex? Now that info would be between me
and my partner. But I can tell you perhaps some of that mousse might
make an appearance before, and perhaps during our time together.”
I squirm as heat rises up my neck and
into my cheeks. Clearing my throat, I continue on.
What is the one thing you want the
most in the whole world? A long sigh escapes him as he appears to
organize his thoughts before speaking. “To live my life not defined
by what others expect I should do or who I should be. I want to see
and experience more of what the world has to offer beyond the ice
around me.”
Is leaving your pack a problem? Do you
have an enemies or reasons why you shouldn’t do just that, explore
the world?
Gideon leans forward, resting his
forearms on his thighs. Technically, I’m next in line to succeed my
father as alpha. Leaving the pack…” He leans back and crosses his
arms. “It’s not what is expected of me. But I truly believe my
twin brother will make a better alpha for my people. He’s a
peacemaker. I’m a trouble maker,” Gideon rumbles and narrows his
gaze on me before cracking a smile. “As for your question about an
enemy or threat holding me back…” He nods. “Unfortunately,
there has been an incident—a murder—that I need to help my father
investigate before I can get out of here.” His gaze locks on mine.
“There’s no way I would ever leave before this bastard caught,
and I know my people are safe.” Gideon stands. “Now if you’ll
excuse, there are some things I need to take care of.”
I’m dismissed.
And that was it for my interview with
Gideon Haven. Wow. The male was intense, but at the same time,
magnetic. I would have loved to learn more about him, delved deeper
into what made him tick. Good news, though, you can find out more
about Gideon and the Haven pack in Breaking the Ice!

The tundra isn’t the only
thing that’s frozen solid.
Being the last male standing isn’t
always what it’s cracked up to be. Mikah Malloy is living proof.
His mother and father were both killed during their individual
attempts to assassinate the pride leader of Ariel Estates, Silas
Murdoch. Now after the dust has settled on his bloodstained family’s
name, Mikah must face life alone among his fellow lion shifters. But
Silas and his mate, Theo, have decided a vacation in Alaska is just
what the doctor ordered to help Mikah come to terms with his grief
and his plans for the future. The only snag with their plan is
trouble always has a way of finding Mikah, no matter where he runs.
Gideon Haven, eldest son of the
Haven pack's alpha, would give his soul for a way off the ice. But
when a hunter is out to eradicate his pack one by one, skinning them
alive for their wolf pelts, Gideon can’t just walk away.
The
predators have now become the prey, but they're determined to hunt
down the poacher out to slaughter Theo and Gideon's pack. As for
Mikah, he’s more than ready for the job. Putting one's life on the
line isn’t a hardship when you don’t care whether you live or
die. The heat between Gideon and Mikah becomes nearly impossible to
resist, yet Mikah is determined the tenacious wolf isn’t about to
get close enough to break the ice around his heart.
