Strong is Sexy Heroine of the Week: Kiera McBroom

Title: Skin Deep (Eternal Forces #1)
Author: Megan D. Martin
Heroine: Kiera McBroom

Kiera is a woman who has faced a lifetime of being over-weight, as a child she was teased mercilessly by the other kids, and when she became an adult, her abusive boyfriend took their place. When she finally escaped the people who put her down, she finds herself faced with an opportunity to be skinny—for the first time in her life. She used to be the person who let people walk all over her, but with the magical opportunity of getting a new body, Kiera is confronted with the reality that the way she has been living her life, hiding out, has been toxic for her all along. She has to learn that there is nothing wrong with being herself, and fighting for the people she loves…and most of all—herself. Loving herself is the biggest wall that holds her back from the future she has always wanted. Kiera learns that there is more to life than having a hot bod and that being strong, and being herself can be the sexiest thing about a woman.

Blurb:
What would you do to have the body of your dreams?

Kiera hates being overweight and hides behind thick layers of clothing. One night, her friends present an opportunity that seems impossible to believe. With a single spell, she can have the thin physique she's always coveted.

But all magic comes with a price: no sex or she'll revert back to her old body. Kiera accepts the cost. It's not like she has men lined up at her door. Obeying this one tiny rule isn't difficult at all—until the night she meets Cain, a were-tiger and a soldier with the Eternal Forces.

When a slew of unexplained murders forces Kiera and Cain together, they'll have to face the horrors of their pasts. Will Kiera realize she is worth more than her outward appearance? Or will she make the wrong the choice and lose everything—including her life?
