Feisty Lawyers Book 4
by Seelie Kay
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Romance
Publisher: eXtasy Books Inc
Publication Date: October 4, 2019
No one knows what they’re made of until they’re broken. At the tender age of twenty-two, Hope Ali has
finally joined the organization of her dreams, the Agency, an elite group of attorneys who go undercover
to right wrongs the law can’t. The requirements are stringent, the training exhausting.
After seeking asylum in the United States when she was sixteen, Hope and her father, Sheikh Harun Ali,
settled in a quiet Wisconsin town, hiding from those who had placed a price on their heads. Still, she
excelled, finishing her university and law school education by the time she was twenty-one.
Now, after breezing through the Agency training program, Hope appears to be indestructible—until she is
assigned a simple task during the rescue of an author among the disappeared in the UAE. The task? To
distract the woman’s captors until she can be spirited out of the country.
Unfortunately, a member of MISix has other plans. In an attempt to disrupt the Agency’s mission, she
tips off one of Hope’s enemies, alerting them to her location. Hope manages to lead the author’s captors
on a merry dance, freeing others to rescue her, until she is unexpectedly confronted with a violent angry
mob intent on harm.
She is left bloody and broken. No one knows whether Hope’s body or her mind will heal. Suddenly Hope
is no longer just her name. It is also the one thing she must embrace to find her new normal.

GUEST POST
An
Interview with Seelie Kay:
Q.
Why do you write romance?
Because
I am fascinated by the games people play to find and secure a lasting
relationship, which is not always love. There’s the chase, the
courtship, the falling, the surrender. That’s what I try to capture
in my stories.
Q.
Do you prefer a certain type of romantic hero?
I
adore smart, dashing gentlemen who aren’t afraid to live on the
edge. They can be a bad boy, a billionaire, a prince, or a secret
agent. That hint of danger just hooks me! However, I also love
strong, independent women who aren’t afraid to fight for what they
want, even love.
Q.
Why did you write “Hope?”
Hope
Ali has been a minor character in past books and has made no secret
of her desire to join the Agency. She had to grow up first. Now she
has and it’s time for her story. She enabled me to tackle two
issues: The number of people who are “enforced disappeared” for
opposing governments and leaders, and post traumatic stress disorder.
In this book, Hope helps rescue a writer in the UAE who has been put
under house arrest for authoring a book exposing the ties of the
ruling families to gunrunning and terrorism. Unfortunately, Hope gets
attacked and is broken, mentally and physically. This very vital,
strong woman must find her way back from that traumatic event and the
path is not easy. It is a story of courage and survival.
Q.
How does your former profession as a lawyer impact your writing?
My
friends say I am obsessed with justice and I guess that’s true.
After 30 years, the law and the legal world are so firmly embedded in
my brain that I can’t flush them out. That has become the lens
through which I view the world and that naturally guides my
characters and plots. Injustice infuriates me, but it also leads me
to great stories!
