Impassioned Deceit is a story of second chance set in the rural beauty of
Australia. It was released February 24th.
At thirty-two, Hannah Wagstaff’s
scandalous past, and the scar it left her with, has made her a spinster.
She had given up on love until she is reunited with Patrick O'Doherty, a man
who had lit a flame in her heart years ago before disappearing from her life.
Things take a drastic turn when
Patrick finds himself on the run for his life, trying to uncover the secrets of
his stepfather’s past and the reason he would be willing to murder for a cattle
station.
Hannah is distraught when she’s told
Patrick died in a fire. Her grief continues when her sister is kidnapped
without any clue to who could have taken her. Months later, when her sister
returns, Hannah goes looking for the culprit. What she finds is Patrick, alive
and working as a bartender at a hotel.
Passionately reunited with Hannah,
Patrick discovers that not only is his life under threat, but hers as well.
Intriguing!
Is there anything which prompted this book? Something that inspired you?
I was once like Hannah, believing I
would never get a second chance. Being reunited with the man who
ultimately became my husband - we'd met years before- changed all that.
It was when I did an interview for the local paper and was asked about my
journey in writing that my own rocky road to romance came up. It was
retelling my own story that inspired me to write about Patrick and Hannah.
All right. Let me ask a different question.
When did you know you wanted to write? Or has it always been a pastime of yours?
When did you know you wanted to write? Or has it always been a pastime of yours?
I have always loved writing, but it
was my parents who encouraged me to take it seriously.
Cool!
Do you have any favorite authors yourself, Faye?
I do love Amanda Quick novels, but I'm also a fan of Agatha Christie and Harper Lee as well.
Nice!
Do you write in a specific place? Time of day?
I have a large family with five
school aged children so I write where and when I can. Notes are often
written in the car doing school runs, and final copies are on the computer late
at night when the children are asleep.
Are there some words you'd like to impart to fellow writers? Any advice?
Best advice I can think of is to
have broad shoulders and be brave because it can be pretty tough out there, but
if you really love what you do then don't you let anyone make you give that up.
Ooh...love it! ♥ Such great advice!
Thank you so much for stopping

Here is an excerpt from the book.
Patrick walked toward the waterhole, the
sound of his father’s departing carriage drifting off in the distance behind
him. He had come here to swim several times over the years, finding it a
welcomed solace from the heat in this country. Was that why Hannah had invited
him here? He could think of no other reason. Even if his assumption was wrong,
and this visit was brief, he was just happy to be seeing her again.
As he neared the water, his gaze went to
the dark-haired woman sitting on the bank, her feet dangling in the water. He
was going to announce himself, but in truth, he didn’t know what to say. He
cleared his throat nervously, hoping that would be enough to draw her attention.
She turned to look at him, a huge smile
filling her face. “I feared you wouldn’t be able to come.”
“My father dropped me off on his way to
deal with some business in Inkerman,” he explained. “He’s going to collect me
on his way home.”
She stood and stepped toward him. “How
long can you stay?”
He shrugged. “Maybe an hour. Maybe
longer.”
The pair stood there, their gazes joined.
He wanted to ask her so many questions, hungering to know just who she was.
“Can you swim?” she asked. “Or we could
just go for a walk around the area.”
Her uncertainty confused him. “Why did you
ask me to meet you here?”
She bent down and slipped off her shoes.
“A swim seems like a better idea in this heat.” Her hands went to the buttons
on her blouse, unfastening them.
“What are you doing?”
She giggled. “You can’t expect me to go
swimming in this. I’ll drown from the weight of it.”
Patrick watched as she stripped down to
her chemise and drawers before turning and running into the water. Hesitating
only a moment longer, he took off his shoes, then his shirt, throwing it beside
her clothes.
“Is that all you’re taking off?” she
asked.
He walked toward her and waded through the
water until he was only a few feet from her. “I think it’s for the best.”
She began to giggle. “Are you shy?”
He shook his head, sharing in her humor.
“I just think what lies beneath my trousers is a bit too much of an
introduction given we only met an hour ago.”
Her laughter began to fade, and he watched
as a cheeky grin spread across her lips. “I’ll take my chemise off if you take
your trousers off.”
He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“You can’t be serious?”
She raised her brow. “What if I am?”
The pair waded in the water, their gazes
joined, each wondering if Hannah would indeed go through with her side of the
bargain. Patrick knew he shouldn’t encourage such behavior, but the thought of
being so close to this woman—and so revealed—both thrilled and scared him.
Never had he met a woman so forward, and he needed to know now more than ever
if she was serious or just all bluff.
“You have yourself a deal,” he finally
said.
Sizzling! :)

Author Bio
Faye
Hall spent her early years listening to stories about the families – including
her own – who settled townships in and around her hometown in North Queensland,
Australia. The local townspeople,
including her own parents, told her stories of corruption and slavery, along
with family secrets and forbidden love.
Desperate to remember what she’d been
told, along with her already growing love of writing, Faye began to write about
the history of her local area. Never
could she have imagined the history of her small home town in Australia would
become a growing list of published books.
Faye’s passionate stories combine
controversial subjects and provocative encounters as her characters struggle to
survive the lifestyle in early rural townships throughout Australia. She explores slavery and abortion, drug
addiction and murder, as well as forbidden love and passionate affairs of the
heart.
When she’s not writing, Faye enjoys
sharing a bottle of wine with her husband in their ever-growing garden, and
encouraging the varied interests of their combined family of nine children.
