When the Masks Come Off…
Today I have Remington Wolfe visiting my blog today! Remington, otherwise known as Wolfe, is a character created by Alexia Adams. You can learn more about him in his story, Masquerading with the Billionaire. I personally thought this was a fun and intriguing interview, and I can’t wait to read the story and learn more about both of these characters! So without further ado, let’s learn more about Remington Wolfe.
Here’s what he’s got to say:
Thank you, Angela for inviting me to stop by your blog today. I’m normally a very private person, despite my frequent appearances in the tabloid newspapers. But falling in love with Kat Smith has changed my life so I appreciate the opportunity to let your readers come to know a different side of me.
Tell me about yourself.
I’m Remington Wolfe, although most people just call me Wolfe. I have an embarrassing middle name that I’ve had stricken from every legal document except my birth certificate. Unfortunately, it took Kat all of five minutes to discover it. My parents died when I was seventeen but as they’d only been shadows in my life it didn’t bother me much. I’m famous for designing jewelry and am currently in a competition to set the gem collection of an Arab royal family.
What intrigues you about this story?
I’m not sure intrigues is the right word, irritates would be more accurate. How dare someone try to sabotage my company by putting malicious code into my software programs? Having to rely on someone else, especially a stranger, to fix the problem is driving me crazy. And when that stranger turns out to be Kat Smith a woman with more question marks in her past than answers… Well, let’s just say before the story is over I will know all her secrets. No matter what it takes to discover the truth behind her beautiful smile.
Who or what is your greatest influence?
Harry Winston is my greatest influence. Like me, he started with a collection of jewels in old-fashioned settings and redesigned them into gorgeous contemporary pieces. Not sure if I’d have gifted the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian though. That is one stunning rock.
If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only take one thing with you, what would you take?
My private jet? Although, if Kat were with me I wouldn’t need anything but her.
If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only take one song with you, what would you take?
I recently heard “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley and now that’s stuck in my head so I might as well bring that song.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Don’t be so scared of love.
Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?
I’d love to meet Leonardo da Vinci. His talent spanned so many mediums he’s always been a hero of mine.
What’s one thing on your bucket list you haven’t done yet?
I recently slept outside on a hammock in a Russian forest. Can’t say it was on my bucket list to start with but it was an incredible experience. Now that I’ve met Kat, I look forward to many more unexpected adventures, especially holding my firstborn child.
If you could have been the original inventor of any work, creative or otherwise, what would it have been and why?
Total artistic jealousy here, I’d love to have invented Fabergé Eggs. Except then they’d be called Wolfe Eggs and that just sounds wrong.
Thanks for hosting me today, Angela. If any of your blog visitors would like to learn more about me then check out Masquerading with the Billionaire.
World-renowned jewelry designer Remington Wolfe is competing for the commission of a lifetime and someone is trying to destroy his company from the inside. He’s in for more than one surprise when his unexpected rescuer turns out to be a sexy computer specialist with a sharp tongue and even sharper mind.
Kat Smith is a cyber-security expert and master of disguise. So being assigned to masquerade as Wolfe’s girlfriend while she uncovers who slipped malicious code into his corporation’s computer systems is no problem. But when Kat’s past catches up to her and their fake relationship starts to feel a little too real, problems are all she seems to have.

Excerpt:
With only ambient light from outside, the room was cloaked in darkness. She stood not a foot from him and he could barely see her outline. Yet he sensed her presence, smelled her delicate fragrance, and the hint of whiskey as she exhaled. Heard the rustle of fabric as she planted her feet farther apart as though preparing for a fight.
“Kat—”
“This is me, Wolfe. I am the dark. I work at night. I spend as much of my time in the Darknet, as above. There is no light in me. My mother wanted me to be something I couldn’t, and when she realized that, she left with my sister who could be the star she needed. My father chose a bottle over me, so I survived by becoming invisible. I put that life behind me five years ago and haven’t looked back. That should be enough for you. If you can’t accept that, then fine. I can recommend three others who will be equally competent at cleaning your systems and finding the saboteur.”
“I deal in precious gems. I run a background check on everyone in my company.” It was the truth, but the information he’d wanted on Kat was more personal, less potential felon.
“If you wanted a criminal record report, you could have asked Liam Manning. He has an up-to-date one he sends to prospective clients. Call off your investigator, Wolfe. If he digs too deep into the darkness, I’ll be sucked back in. I can’t let that happen.”
“Are you in danger?” He reached a hand out and connected with her bare shoulder, her skin cool to his touch, as though she really was out in the cold night air.
She hesitated, and he was torn between pulling her into his arms and taking a step back. The moon moved out from behind a cloud and a shaft of light illuminated them. For a split second, he saw a hint of vulnerability in her eyes before it was gone behind her shield of self-sufficiency.
“No.”
He was tempted to turn the lights back on so he could see her clearly but was afraid of what his own face would reveal. He’d never felt such an attraction to a woman before. More than physical, it was almost magnetic. She pulled him to her.
“I want you.” His voice was just above a whisper, whether due to the darkness or the emotion she was drawing from him, he didn’t care to analyze.
If he hadn’t been touching her, he never would have known she hauled in a deep breath before replying, “To keep working for you?”
“Yes. And in my bed.”
She lifted his hand from her shoulder and after a brief hesitation released it.
“I need to be able to walk away from you at the end of next week without looking back. I’m not sure I’ll be able to do that if we become lovers.”
