A warm welcome to authors Jodi Payne and BA tortuga joining us to celebrate new release: “Wrecked”.
Welcome 🙂
Hi all!
I’m Jodi Payne and I’m hanging out with my co-author, Texan, and fellow coffee addict BA Tortuga to talk about our new book, Wrecked, and one of my favorite tropes–one BA and I write often–opposites attract.
Skyler Paulson and Beckett Adler have very little crossover in their individual lives. Skyler is a bull rider. Beckett is an attorney. Skyler is dust and dirt, hard work and cowboy boots and Beckett is suits and ties, a laptop and county courtrooms. Skyler makes in the moment decisions and Beckett makes plans.
But you know how it works; the allure of something you don’t know, something you’ve never had. Something new and maybe out of your league.
When they met, Skyler was a rodeo champion. He looked like one, walked like one, carried himself like one, and Beckett couldn’t get enough of it. And Beckett was a little dirty under his clean cut suit and perfect hair. The two of them set each other on fire, and eventually fell in love and got married.
All of that romance happens before the book begins, though. When we meet Sky and Beck, some of their differences have driven them apart. It’s been four years, long enough to wonder if there is anything to their marriage anymore. But a terrible accident leaves Skyler hanging on by a thread and Beckett gets that awful call–come now, it might be your last chance.
When Beck brings Sky home to heal, they discover that the love is still there, as strong as it ever was, and the heat too. But appreciating and respecting what makes us who we are is what it’s about right? And it’s what Sky and Beck need to figure out how to do if they’re going to resurrect their marriage.

BLURB:
The call comes when Beckett Adler least expects it. He’s made a new life for himself in Vermont and has a law practice of his own. After four years, he’s even stopped wearing his wedding ring. So when he finds out his husband, bull rider Skyler Paulson, has been badly injured at an event, he isn’t sure what he wants to do. He knows what’s right, though, so he heads down to Baltimore to bring his man home.
Sky knows his injuries are a career-ender, and he can’t believe Beck has come for him after all this time. He’s not a hundred percent sure what went wrong with their marriage, and he has no idea how to be anything but a bull rider. But he wants this second chance, so he grabs at it with both hands.
There’s a lot Sky has to learn, from how to walk again to how to settle down with the man he loves. Beck needs to learn to open up and how to be more trusting. For their marriage to work again, both men will have to find a way to meet in the middle. Because neither of them wants to be wrecked anymore.

Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy’s Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her basset hounds and her beloved wife, texting her sisters, and eating Mexican food. When she’s not doing that, she’s writing. She spends her days off watching rodeo, knitting and surfing Pinterest in the name of research. BA’s personal saviors include her wife, Julia Talbot, her best friends, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee.
Having written everything from fist-fighting rednecks to hard-core cowboys to werewolves, BA does her damnedest to tell the stories of her heart, which was raised in Northeast Texas, but has heard the call of the high desert and lives in the Sandias.
With books ranging from hard-hitting GLBT romance, to fiery menages, to the most traditional of love stories, BA refuses to be pigeon-holed by anyone but the voices in her head.
