He’s been a pawn in a game all along…

The King of New York is back. And now, he’s got a Queen on his arm. Just when Noah Adams and Avi Linton are finally settling in to their “happily ever after,” another evil is preparing to make a move. This time, the game just got a little more dangerous and nobody will come out unharmed. Determined to protect her at all costs, Noah puts his life on the line for the only woman who ever mattered to him. But that might not be enough.

When the past begins to threaten their future, Avi and Noah must fight for their present. But can they battle against their enemy without descending deeper into danger?



Interview Questions:


What inspired you to write Deeper: Descent (Book Two of The Deeper Chronicles)?

Nancy and The Avid Reader, thank you so much for this interview on the blog. Inspiration for my three-novel series came about when I asked myself this simple question: could I love a man who did very, very bad things?

When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?

I never knew I wanted to be an author. In my early thirties, my parents went through a personal struggle and I wanted to write an ode to them, to their relationship that had spanned decades but had crumbled too quickly. That was when I knew other stories lived inside of me.

What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?

I’m a heavy romance reader of the 1990s so authors like Johanna Lindsey, Susan Johnson, Judith McNaught, to name a few were female authors I read in my early teenage years.

What genre of books do you enjoy reading?

Anything that involves romance. I don’t need an HEA for my main characters.

What is your favorite book?

One that I re-read each year is Seized by Love by Susan Johnson.

You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?
I have many favorites so I don’t want to single out anyone (LOL) but I love authors who can pull readers in, capture our attention from page one.

If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place or time. Where would you go and why?

This is so personal. I would go back to the day my father brought the divorce papers to my mother. I would beg them both to see the love they have and seek professional counseling on how to re-connect as a couple.

When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?

It comes easy once I have two things: everyone’s backstories and my muses for the characters.

Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

No pets.

What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?

Anything with pasta, preferably angel hair J

Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?

I’m in no position to advice anyone because I’m still new, but I would say to up-and-coming authors to have a distinct brand and remain true to the characters’ voices that come to you.



Author Bio:
allyn lesley writes real stories about real people.
As a teen, allyn lost herself in the pages of some of Romance’s heavyweights, trusting that a happy ever after was just around the corner. In allyn’s own writing journey, as in life, she’s learned that people don’t always experience recovery and restoration after a fall. Her stories speak to the gritty side of life where the right choice isn't always easily identified and happiness not quickly gained.

I have been meaning to read the first book of the series for a while now ever since it was recommended to me by a friend. I am definitely moving this up on my TBR list. This looks like a fun and sexy read, and I like the cover!
