Take Five: Gwen Hernandez and Blind Trust

By Leave a Comment

Please join us in celebrating the October 26th release of Blind Trust, storyteller and WU Contributor Gwen Hernandez’s latest in her Men of Steel series.

A breathtaking story filled with suspenseful adventure and ardent yet sweet romance that puts trust and loyalty to the line and makes you question everything and everyone… The story delivered beyond my expectations! A fab romantic suspense read that is easy to recommend. ~ Five Spoons

– Books & Spoons

 

Growing up, Gwen Hernandez wasn’t brave enough to share the stories in her head with other kids, but they usually involved intrigue and romance. She was raised in the Army and Navy, and married an Air Force engineer, so it’s natural that her Men of Steele series features military heroes and heroines who must overcome danger to find true love.

In her free time, she likes to travel, read, jog, flail on a yoga mat, and explore southern California, where she currently lives with her husband and a lazy golden retriever.

Gwen tells us that along with this release, all of the books in the series received new covers. Congrats, Gwen, and thank you for joining us today to tell us about the story behind the story!

 

Q1: What’s the premise of your new book?

A woman, and the man who rescues her, battle deadly kidnappers and Montana’s extreme elements to save her best friend, all while fighting their attraction to each other.

 

Q2: What would you like people to know about the story itself?
