Today we sit down for a chat with Rayder Cole from romance author Bonnie Edwards’s The Brantons series.
What was your life like before your author started pulling your strings?
I moved around the world freely, retrieving stolen art.
What’s the one trait you like most about yourself?
I gain people’s trust easily.
What do you like least about yourself?
Sometimes I use their trust against them.
What is the strangest thing your author has had you do or had happen to you? She had me arrested in a sleazy motel.
Do you argue with your author? If so, what do you argue about?
We don’t argue. I let her believe she’s in charge. Like I said, I gain their trust…
What is your greatest fear?
That I’ll never find another Ellie.
What makes you happy?
Being with Ellie again. Even for a short while.
If you could rewrite a part of your story, what would it be? Why?
I never would’ve conned Ellie in the first place, and we wouldn’t have wasted the last decade.
Of the other characters in your book, which one bugs you the most? Why? Shaughnessy, the dirty Interpol agent, because I should’ve stopped him years ago.
Of the other characters in your book, which one would you love to trade places with? Why?
There’s no one I’d rather be than myself…but my better self. The one who shows up when I’m with Ellie.

Rayder’s Appeal
The Brantons, Book 4
What can a reformed con man do when the woman who changed his life needs his help?
Eleanor Macklin has overcome her past and repaired the damage done by her first, and only, love. She has all she’s ever wanted, her family’s art gallery. If she’s not as spontaneous, or giving, or loving as she once was, well… that’s a life lesson she learned the hard way from a master of deceit. And trust is a thing of the past…
Rayder Cole has stumbled on a plot to forge stolen art that could ruin Ellie Macklin’s art gallery. He must get the forgery back before Ellie’s life is in ruins. He’s done enough damage to the only woman he’s ever loved, and now, he’s back to save what Ellie’s worked hard to build.
If Eleanor doesn’t take a chance on Rayder, she’ll lose everything. But trust lost is almost impossible to regain.
While the race is on to find the forger, Rayder’s appeal begins to work its magic again and Eleanor hates that she still finds him sexy.
Rayder’s determined to reclaim the woman who stole his heart before he even knew he had one…
