NYT Best Selling Author Dianna Love
STOLEN VENGEANCE
Slye Temp Book 6
He's the last man she'll trust and the only one who can save her.
Slye Temp agent Dingo Paddock walked away from rare items recovery specialist Valene Eklund seven years ago to protect her from a deadly organization, but the woman can’t stay out of trouble. Valene hasn’t forgiven Dingo for breaking her heart when he disappeared without a word. The last thing she’ll allow is for him to interfere with her new client, whose contract will dig her out of financial ruin. She’s lucked into a deal that only comes along once, but Dingo believes the price is too high – her life - and now the organization he destroyed to keep her safe has returned to exact vengeance on Dingo. Getting their hands on the one woman Dingo would walk through fire for? Priceless.
If Dingo and Valene can't overcome their past and learn to trust again, multiple assassinations will ignite the fuse to an international conflict. They can't save the world until they figure out how to save each other first.
“I laughed out loud at the wonderful bantering, screamed to warn the characters of the treachery and cried at the pain and loss, yet my heart soared when two beautiful people realized that love is what they need to survive. DECEPTIVE TREASURES is the fifth book in the SLYE-TEMP series and is just as compelling as the first four books.” ~Billie Jo, Romance JunkiesNew York Times bestseller

THE INTERVIEW
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
DIANNA: Every time I write one. If I don’t get lost in the story, then the reader won’t, because I’m a reader first. I’m absolutely drained by The End after having figured out what makes the significant characters tick. In my opinion, you have to understand more than just the two main characters in a romance since everyone around them should be going through their own life issues, too. It’s what makes our world so interesting – we ALL have something important going on. As I’m sorting through all that, I’m completely lost.
ANGI: What’s the first book you remember reading?
DIANNA: Three Billy Goats Gruff.The only reason I can remember that was because I was in first grade and decided to recreate the entire story on a piece of newsprint (the big sheets of paper they gave kids to draw on in grade school) and the teacher called my parents to see the art and story I’d drawn. I was an artist first at that time, but even then, I did love a good story.
ANGI: Can you tell us about a real-life hero you’ve met?
DIANNA: Every male and female soldier I’ve ever met. I could tell you stories for days and days yet still never capture the power behind what they do every day of the week.
ANGI: Hiking Boots or Dancing Heels?
DIANNA: Sneakers. J I’m all about comfort.
ANGI: What do you like about the hero of your book?
DIANNA: Dingo Paddock is the hero in STOLEN VENGEANCE, Book 6 in the Slye Temp romantic suspense series. Dingo is so damaged emotionally by what happened to him as a child that he shouldn’t care about another person at all, but he protected two scrawny kids when they were all orphans, and those three bonded closer than any brothers and sister. There’s this core of good so deep inside him, it forces him to protect others when his heart tells him to never risk loving again after what he endured. Because of all that, he accepts everyone as they are as long as they are genuine, and he’s accepted his solitary life in undercover work, until he meets a woman whose loyalty to those she cares about is overshadowed only by her ability to love, regardless of flaws and scars.
ANGI: Benedict Cumberbatch or Chris Pine?
DIANNA: Chris Pine. I’ve been very impressed by the roles he’s played. But if you want my new favorite male actor it’s Bradley Cooper. I think he’s going to be one of the greats from our era.
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
DIANNA: That’s tough to pick because I love movies. The first one I saw was the original Romeo and Juliet, and that one made a huge impression on me. A classic that is still fun today is Romancing the Stone, but I love the past and current Star Trek movies. And I loved the last A-Team movie. I think the best way to answer this is to say I really enjoy action, adventure, and romance – I want a deeply emotional story that moves very quickly. That pretty much sums up my approach to writing. J
ANGI: What's your most favorite thing to do in your state?
DIANNA: Tough call because I love riding the back roads of Georgia on my motorcycle, but we also have great coastal fishing.
ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: Hey Dianna, I loved your DIANNA’S LIFE BEFORE WRITINGpage on your website. Do you ever draw on your artist skills for a character? AND do you take the time to paint now?
DIANNA’S GOTTA ANSWER: I do have a vision of every character in my books, but I don’t have the time to draw or paint that I used to. My writing cave is my former art studio at home. I do sketch out ideas when I need a visual. Ohbut…fans of my other series (Belador urban fantasy) will want to know that I havebeen working on the image of Feenix. (In case you haven’t read the Belador stories, he’s an adorable two-foot-tall gargoyle with an overbite.) And I have something in mind to do for my readers later this year, but it’s a surprise so I can’t talk about it. J

Book 6 in the Belador series
Evalle, Storm, Feenix and the gang are back in book 6!
If Atlanta falls, Witchlock will sweep the country in a bloodbath.
After finally earning her place among the Beladors, Evalle is navigating the ups and downs of her new life with Storm when she’s sucked into a power play between her Belador tribe and the Medb coven. Both groups claim possession of the Alterants-turned-gryphons, especially Evalle, the gryphon leader. But an influx of demons and dark witches into Atlanta threatens to unleash war between covens, pitting allies against each other as a legendary majik known as Witchlock invades the city and attacks powerful beings. Evalle has one hope for stopping the invasion, but the cost may be her sanity and having to choose which friend to save.
