Divorced from
one woman who put her career ahead of everything – including their young son,
Chad – Josh Kincaid isn’t about to make that same mistake twice. If he ever
falls in love again, it’s going to be with a woman who puts family first. Chad
is the most important thing in Josh’s life and he’ll do whatever it takes to be
an active part of his life. But his ex has other plans and painfully shy Josh
has to step up and fight for his son.
Feisty and driven,
Fiona Reilly has plans. She left home to break away from the expectations that
she marry and stay home to raise a passel of children. Nothing wrong with that
life – it’s just not for her. Instead, she’s going to make something of herself
and build a business to be reckoned with. In no hurry to fall in love, Josh and
his adorable son capture her heart, forcing her to choose between her dreams
and building the home she didn’t know she wanted.
Love has a way
of messing up even the best of intentions…
Today
I’m talking to Josh Kincaid from “My Texas Heart: The Texas Kincaids Book 3,”
my just released Contemporary Romance. Let’s get started. I’m sure our readers
are eager to learn more about you.
How old are you?
27
What is your
relationship status?
Nearing
the end of my divorce proceedings. Divorce in Texas isn't quick and since my
wife and I haven't agreed on custody arrangements for our son, Chad, it's taken
a year to finalize. Cindy, my soon-to-be-ex, wants to remarry and move to
California. That part’s fine but taking Chad with her isn't.
What is people’s
first impression of you?
Most
people don't even see me. I'm shy. Have been my entire life and tend to fade
into the background.
Name three of your
favorite things.
Riding
my motorcycle - makes people look at me like I'm mysterious and maybe a little
dangerous. Creating an awesome piece of computer code. Playing catch with my
son in the backyard.
Name three
things that tick you off.
People
who make fun of people who are different. I'm a computer security analyst so
people who try to hack in and steal from our clients. My ex-wife and her new
husband.
What is your
best memory to date?
The
day my son was born. I helped create this little human being. It made me
realize I'm part of the human chain. I'm part of the past and the future and not
an island.
What would you
like it to say on your tombstone?
He
found his strength and his voice. He's someone.
What was your
first impression of Fiona?
Fiona
was everything I secretly wanted to be... outgoing and friendly. Confident.
Full of life and joy. She sparkles when she walks into a room.
If we could only
hear your voice (but not see you) what characteristic would identify you?
If
I'm nervous, then my stutter. Otherwise my natural hesitancy when talking to
someone I don't know.
Are you close to
family?
Yes
and no. I love them and would do anything for them. I know they have my back as
well but I don't think they've ever understood me.
If you could
make any one thing happen, what would it be?
Get
custody of my son. I want him to have a relationship with his mom - if she
wants one - every child should know their parents love them but I want to get
him out of that toxic environment.
What kinds of
things do you always carry in your pockets?
The
usual - wallet, keys, cell phone, but I also carry a USB drive and this thing
that opens like a Swiss Army Knife but it's a miniature tool kit.
What inner doubt
causes you the most difficulty?
Fiona
made me realize that I never believed in myself. Growing up I saw myself as the
square peg trying to fit in a round hole. My brothers are outdoorsy and loved
the ranching life. They were good at sports. My oldest brother, Nate, played
football in college and could have gone pro but chose to be a large animal
veterinarian instead. My middle brother, Zack, is a national team roping
champion on the rodeo circuit. Me? I was okay at sports but preferred to spend
my time tinkering with computers or playing video games. I always felt like I
was too different to be loved and truly accepted.
What would make
you completely happy?
Marry
Fiona, and along with Chad, build a future and family together.
If you had a
free day with no responsibilities and your only mission was to enjoy yourself,
what would you do?
Hop
on my Indian Scout Motorcycle - preferably with Fiona wrapped around me - and
tear along the Devil's Backbone. Leaning into the curves, the wind whipping in
my face, complete freedom.
