Please help me welcome author Melissa Schroeder to the blog! Melissa has two new releases this week, Mele Kalikimaka, Baby and A Little Harmless Lie. She's just gotten back from Hawaii *wink* after interviewing Micah Ross, the very sexy hero of A Little Harmless Lie. Take it away, Melissa!
*******
While my family braves the very cold air that is hitting Virginia, I jetted off to Honolulu to meet with Micah Ross, hero of A Little Harmless Lie. We decided to take in the beauty of Kuhio Beach on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.
We garner a few glances, but I know it is the man beside me who is getting all the attention. Over six feet tall, part Native American, with hair down to his very fine ass, add in his Dom tendencies of always being in charge without even saying a word, and it is easy to understand why he does. Dressed in a red t-shirt and jean shorts, he looks completely comfortable in his choice of residence.
Mel: So, you liked Hawaii from the start. What drew you to Oahu?
Micah: Part of it was the laid back atmosphere. No one is in a great hurry really to get anywhere. Not that they are lazy, but they take the time to appreciate life. Plus, they didn’t have a BDSM club like the one Evan and I talked about opening.
Mel: You and Evan Chambers go way back?
Micah: smiles We met in Juvie. Boy had a mouth on him even then and I had to save his ass one night. After that, I spent most my time saving his ass from one person or another. He was kind of tiny back then compared to the way he looks now.
Mel: So, is this the first venture you had together?
Micah: motions towards a picnic table and we settle down, both facing the beach to enjoy the view. No. We had a club in Vegas but that didn’t work out. I came over here after a fugitive and realized this is where we needed to be.
Mel: Fugitive? Oh, that’s right, you used to be a bounty hunter.
Micah: Yep. And an Ultimate Fighter.
Mel: So, more personal, I understand you’re involved with Dee Sumners?
Micah: His smile widens. Yes, that is a good way of putting it. But, I wouldn’t go saying anything to her. She doesn’t always like talking about it.
Mel: So, she’s pretty private?
Micah: Yes. Considering she spent a lot of her life on the run, it is understandable.
Mel: so, I am assuming since you’re a Dom, she’s a sub. Micah nods. But she doesn’t seem like much of a pushover.
Micah: Laughs. No, she’s not. The personality of someone in the bedroom rarely is shown to everyone they know. A man or woman who needs to submit in the bedroom for personal reasons. Doesn’t mean they’re pushovers. And I really don’t find that kind of a woman attractive.
Mel: I’ve seen her before. Kind of tiny.
Micah: But with a big roar.
Mel: I laugh. I got that. But what can a person like Dee, who seems very confident, very sure of herself, get from submitting in the bedroom.
Micah: Different people need it for different reasons, but it boils down to trust. Allowing yourself the freedom to trust your Dom control over your pleasure. He looks at his watch. I better get going. I promised Dee we would grab a bite to eat before we opened the club tonight.
Mel: Thanks again, and say hi to Dee for me.
Meet Micah and Dee in my Samhain release,

The Harmless Series:
A Little Harmless Lie
(Harmless Series, Book 4)
Falling for her might be easy, seducing her may be damned hard, but keeping her alive might just be deadly.
Coming from nothing, Micah Ross now has more than he knows what to do with. His Hawaii BDSM club is flourishing, and he has his pick of women. Except one. Dee Sumners is cute, sexy, feisty…and, since she’s on his payroll, off-limits. Plus, she insists she isn’t into the life. Until one heated kiss hints that his head bartender secretly hungers to be his sub.
Life on the run doesn’t allow Dee to indulge in long-term relationships. Still, Micah manages to work his way through her tough armor and under her skin. Yet even as she succumbs to his skilled seduction, her survival instinct forms a plan to leave the island she has grown to love—and the man she’s in danger of loving.
When Dee disappears, Micah’s anger turns to fear when he realizes she didn’t leave willingly. Calling on his skills as a former bounty hunter, he tracks her to the mainland only to discover she is entangled in a web of lies and deceit that not only threatens their love, but her life.
Warning: This book contains more Hawaiian settings, a Native American Dom who always thinks he’s right, a woman on the run, sexy kisses, murderous relatives, a trip to Sin City, and a seduction that is sweet and hot and everything in between. Ice water and a towel are recommended while reading.

Mele Kalikimaka, Baby
Menage Amour
When Sophia Cantwell gets stuck working in Hawaii on Christmas, she isn't too happy. She doesn't like trying to buy land from a Hawaiian family, especially when she is convinced that her company isn't being ethical. When she is confronted at the airport by the landowner's grandsons, cousins Maleko and Jack Akaka, she doesn't expect the jolt of arousal or the instant attraction. And she doesn't expect them to insist that she stay at the family's condos.
Mal and Jack have shared women before and have thought about getting that one special woman for the two of them. Both of them are surprised that she turns out to be an uptight, corporate go-getter. But the three of them cannot ignore their attraction, and a night out in Honolulu turns into a night in bed for all of them.
But when Sophia's ex-lover and boss arrives unexpectedly, will she be able to walk away from her dreams of climbing the corporate ladder, or will she lose Mal and Jack?

Description from Smashwords: Joaquin has gaps in his memory...or maybe huge, gaping, black holes would be a better description for the number of moments he can't account for in a day. Is it simply a symptom of his excessive drinking or could it be something more?
