Synopsis:
Our love is on his terms. He contacts me only through notes − unpredictable and untraceable. When we meet, he can touch me, but I’m not allowed to touch him. When we make love, it’s only after I have been bound and blindfolded. It’s the only time I truly feel alive. Which is why I play along with it. For now.
Caden Thaine is the most sinfully beautiful man I have ever seen. But more than that, his touch sets me on fire. And dear God, do I ache for him. I don’t know where he lives or even what he does. But this doesn’t scare me. My only fear is that one day his messages will stop. I know he’s hiding something. But that’s okay. I am hiding things, too. Like my real name and... who I really am. But the deeper I fall for him, the stronger my curiosity grows.
I could never have imagined just how much our lives are bound. And that pulling at his tangled web of secrets would cause my own dark past to come back to try and reclaim me. Will we survive? Will our love?
Adult romantic suspense. +18 years.

AUTHOR BIO
Hanna began to write at the tender age of seven, starting with a daring and questionable autobiography entitled Go Suck a Lemon. Perhaps it was a little before its time.
After leaving school she agreed with everyone who said she needed to get a degree and a real job to become a proper adult. She kept writing as a hobby. After starting (and never finishing) several degrees and switching from multiple careers, she finally decided that being a real adult was overrated. In 2012, she sold everything, moved to Europe and began to write full-time.
Eternally restless, Hanna has lived in Indonesia, Australia, Germany and Scotland. She is currently residing in England.
She is addicted to coffee and chocolate and would one day like to own a dragon.
Hanna Peach is the author of the Dark Angel urban fantasy series and Bound romantic suspense series. Angelblood (Dark Angel #4) and Bound by Fear (Bound #2) are due for publication in 2014.

Top 5 tips for surviving life on the run
#5. Don’t use your real name. (No s**t Sherlock.)
#4. The less information that you give people is better. No birthdays, no childhood stories, no
letting anyone in on your past. Yeah, that means no birthday presents. Get over it. Getting to stay
alive for one more day is your present.
#3. Learn how to defend yourself - take up kickboxing, buy a gun and learn how to use it, or
even better, do both.
#2. Keep a bag of cash and a set of clothes in your car (registered under a false name, of course
- see tip #5 again) at all times, just in case you have to take off in a hurry. This also means don’t
buy anything you’re going to be upset about leaving behind. Yep, this means curbing your shoe
fetish unless your fetish is for comfortable trainers in which you can run.
#1. Don’t trust anyone. Not even if you fall in love with them. Especially if you fall in love with
them.
Interview
Q: Firstly, who is the real life Caden and can I get his number? ;)
A: haha, get in line ;) But seriously, Caden isn’t really based on anyone I know (damn).
Q: So, was Caden your favorite character to write?
A: Actually, I loved writing Mick, Kitten’s kickboxing coach. He’s gruff and swears a lot but
he’s soft on the inside. I had fun coming up with creative insults for him.
Q: Did you expect the reaction that you got from the book?
A: I knew that this would be the kind of book that people would either love or hate. I didn’t
expect that people would be as passionate as they are about which side of the fence they stand
on! But I think this is a good thing. I was told by my old writing mentor, “the worst thing
for your reader to feel is apathy.” So yes, hate the book or love it, I’m glad it makes you feel
something.
Q: Speaking of reactions, what did your dad think about Bound by Lies? (Did you end up letting
him read it? Haha)
A: Oh God. Let’s get one thing straight: I didn’t let my dad read Bound. He bought the book
and started reading it even after I told him not to. The conversation on how I found out went
something like this:
Dad: So I bought your new book, Bound by Lies.
Hanna: WHAT?
Dad: I started reading it.
Hanna: OMG NO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO READ THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dad: Wow... It's a little hot.
Hanna: *jumps out of window*
I refused to continue that conversation with him. I really really don’t need to know what he
thinks about all this… I can always deny I wrote it, right?
Q: So if you didn’t want your family reading it, why did you choose to write under your real
name?
A: I did consider a pen name but in the end I decided not to. I think that part of my purpose as a
writer is to express myself as openly and as truthfully as possible. The reason behind why I was
considering a pen name is because of how I thought people would judge me based on the kind
of book Bound by Lies is. I joke about not wanting my family or friends to read the novel but
really, it doesn’t bother me.
Q: And Jacob *shudders*… what part of him is the “truth”?
I had an ex-boyfriend who I used as a basis for developing Jacob’s character; the possessiveness,
the jealousy, the sex and even some of the things that Jacob would say to Kitten were exact
things that he would say to me. Thankfully I left before my situation escalated into physical
violence. But there are a lot of women who don’t and unfortunately I’ve known some. I think
part of the reason is that we don’t recognize the signs. That’s why I’m not going to hide my
experience from the world. Silence only helps to allow these kinds of abusive relationships to
continue. Something I share might help someone else recognize a bad situation before it does
escalate.
Q: Whoa. Ok. Let’s end with a nice light question then. If your book was made into a movie who
would you pick as your cast?
A: Well, I can’t talk about Kitten because she hasn’t revealed what she looks like (for her own
safety, you know)… but Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo from TV series Game of Thrones) is what I
imagine Caden to look like. *wipes drool off chin*
Excerpt:
“I suppose you want to come in?” I say trying to keep the shake out of my voice.
He smiles. “No, kitten.”
I blink at him, stunned. No?
He leans close to me, so close I can make out the dapple of the lighter jade in his irises. Then he
continues in that dark chocolate voice that turns my insides out, “You don’t believe this yet. But
you are a woman who deserves to be taken slowly. And I intend to do just that.”
Now I can’t move.
And I can’t tear my eyes from him.
And I am both terrified and soaring because I think he might kiss me.
I close my eyes and inhale as he leans in. And my mouth parts…
But his lips brush softly on my cheek. Like a single drop of rain rolling off a leaf.
“Be good, kitten.”
And he walks away, leaving me stunned and confused and shaking in my heels from unfulfilled
desire.
