INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE is just 99c!

INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE (and the hero, Alec) is a reader favorite! Plus, ahem, there is an experimental weapon integral to the plot that sounds suspiciously like the sonic attacks that injured US embassy employees in Cuba. The book was published in 2015, while the attacks happened in 2016 and 2017….

Psst….If you buy the Kindle version for 99c, you can get the Audible version for just $1.99!

From enemies to allies…
When archaeologist Isabel Dawson stumbles upon an unconscious man deep in the Alaskan wilderness, her survival skills are put to the test. She tends his wounds and drags him to shelter, only to discover she’s saved the life of Raptor CEO Alec Ravissant—the man who may have covered up her brother’s murder to save his senatorial campaign.

With no memory of the assault that landed him five miles deep in the forest, Alec doesn’t know what to believe when he wakes in the clutches of the beautiful redhead who blames him for her brother’s death, but he quickly realizes he needs her help to uncover the truth about his lost hours.

Isabel never imagined she’d find herself allied with Alec, and he’s the last man she ever expected to find attractive. But the former Army Ranger-turned-politician proves seductively charming, and he’s determined to win much more than her vote. When their quest for answers puts Isabel in the crosshairs, Alec must risk everything—his company, his campaign, and his life—to protect her.

The 2018 RT Convention

I was in Reno, Nevada last weekend for the 2018 Romantic Times Convention and had a fantastic time.

Greg Tremblay/Boudreaux Voice Actor and me with the Flashpoint column ad. I can’t wait to hear Greg’s narration of FIRESTORM!!

Me with the Flashpoint ad on the big column at #RT18.

FIRESTORM is available for PreOrder

Releases July 10, 2018!

CIA covert operator Savannah James is after intel on a potential coup in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but she needs a partner fluent in Lingala to infiltrate the organization. Sergeant First Class Cassius Callahan is the perfect choice, except he doesn’t like her very much. He doesn’t trust her, either, despite the sparks that flare between them, fierce and hot. Still, he accepts the assignment even though their cover requires Savvy to pose as his mistress.

They enter battle-worn Congo to expose the financing for the coup. A trail of cobalt, gold, and diamonds leads them into the heart of darkness, a jungle in which everyone is desperate to find the mother lode of ore and gems. Betrayal stalks them as they follow the money, but Savvy will stop at nothing to bring down the would-be dictator before he can ignite a firestorm that will engulf all of Africa.

Deep in the sultry rainforest, spy and Green Beret forge a relationship more precious than diamonds, but Cal knows Savvy is willing to sacrifice anything—or anyone—to complete her mission. As they near the flashpoint, Cal will have to save her from the greatest threat of all: herself.

2018 RT Booklover’s Convention

I am so excited for RT this week!! I’ll share photos and events with you from the Romantic Times Booklover’s convention in Reno, Nevada.

Greg Tremblay/Boudreaux Voice Actor (narrator for the Flashpoint Series) arrived before me and posted this photo of the Flashpoint column ad. Can’t wait to see it and the Evidence ad! Syd Gill did an amazing job with both graphics.

Two New Release Recommendations

OMG. OMG. OMG. I’ve been waiting for this book since last summer!!!

Blurb:

After serving untold millennia as the leader of a demon special ops team with a brutal reputation for efficiency, Warrick of the Syx has seen it all, done it all, killed it all. Penance for his own damnation? Sure. But with the world running black with blood and magic, his skills are definitely in high demand.

This time, though…there’s a catch. And her name is Maria Santos. Beautiful, badass, and out for blood, Maria’s wrestling with her own dark secrets. The kind of secrets that call to Warrick’s twisted soul. A call he knows better than to answer.

Unfortunately, the dangerously tempting undercover cop is Warrick’s only ticket into the lockdown hellhole where a particularly vicious demon faction is boiling over, ready to unleash a new Armageddon on earth. If he wants them, he’s going to have to take Maria with him.

But the second she gets caught in the crossfire between Warrick and the scum of eternity, well…

Hell hath no fury like a Demon Unbound.

and Deceived (House of Sin Book 2) by Elisabeth Naughton is available now!! This series is AMAZING. You want it. You really want it.

Blurb:

Some doors were never meant to be opened…

I made a fateful mistake. I should never have peeked behind the doors into his forbidden world.

But I did, and now I’m a prisoner. Trapped by the man I love. The man I thought I could trust. The man who, despite his lies and deception, I continue to crave.

He can melt my resolve with one rough, whispered demand, and I feel myself giving in to the desire he still stirs inside me. And yet, if I want to survive, I have to be strong. I must find a way to escape. Because if I don’t, I’m afraid I’ll be consumed by a shadowy world that will ultimately destroy me.

Lost forever in his wicked House of Sin…

RT Booklover’s Convention is May 15-20

Will you be in Reno next week at the RT Booklovers Convention? Come visit me at the Scandalicious event on May 18th at 10am. I’ve got some fun Flashpoint Series swag for readers at my table!

TINDERBOX is a HOLT Medallion Finalist!

I’m very honored that TINDERBOX was selected as a 2018 HOLT Finalist by the Virginia Romance Writers. TINDERBOX is in outstanding company in all categories!

TINDERBOX (Flashpoint #1)

In the volatile tinderbox of the Horn of Africa, Morgan Adler has made the paleoanthropological find of a lifetime. The discovery brings her to the attention of a warlord eager to claim both Morgan and the fossils, forcing her to make a desperate dash to the nearby US military base to beg for protection.

Master Sergeant Pax Blanchard has orders to intercept Dr. Adler before she reaches the base, and in so doing saves her life. After a harrowing afternoon he safely delivers her to his commanders, only to find his responsibilities toward protecting the obstinate archaeologist have only just begun.

Morgan and Pax are forced to work together in the Djiboutian desert heat, but it is the fire that ignites between them that threatens to combust them both. For the Green Beret, involvement with the woman he must protect is a threat to his career, while for the archaeologist, the soldier is everything she never wanted but somehow can’t resist. When Morgan uncovers a mystery surrounding Djibouti’s most scarce and vital resource, the danger to her reaches the flashpoint. For Pax, protecting her is no longer a matter of following orders, and he’ll risk everything to bring her back alive.

And in Romance World News…

You might’ve heard about a romance author behaving badly who applied for a trademark on the word “Cocky” and is now going after romance authors who’ve used the word in their titles telling them they have to change their titles or face a lawsuit. If you want more information you can check out #cockygate and #ByeFaleena here or on Twitter.

Here is a post from the absolutely lovely Donna Grant who shares stories of how romance authors usually handle shared titles, including our own story.

You see, when I put FIRESTORM up for pre-order, I discovered she has a book with the same title. Now, given that we share the same last name, this could be cause for confusion (and in fact, Barnes & Noble put her name in my book’s URL, which is why I didn’t share the Nook link for several days). I emailed Donna about the mixup and apologized for inadvertently using the same title, and I told her I plan to give her book a shoutout. (OMG have you seen the cover? It’s amazing. Plus I love sexy PNR and did you see the heroine is an archaeologist?! This might be destiny. https://amzn.to/2HSAnjz)

Anyway, Donna was wonderful and totally understood and she offered to give my book a shoutout too. Because this is what authors do, we lift each other up.

At a time in which Romancelandia is finally starting to face a lot of hard truths about our faults and blatant racism, I love that we as a community are uniting in defense of our right to cock. #ByeFaleena pic.twitter.com/aPv9Vc7qnS

A 99c Sale!

NO MONEY DOWN is only $0.99 across ALL platforms this month for the first time!
Geeks, Spies, Lies and Laughs! Pick up the Lexi Carmichael Mystery novella today! 🙂

Me and the legendary Zimmerman twins–it’s a friendship made in geek heaven. And it all started back when I worked for the NSA…
My best friend Basia dragged me to the beach for her idea of a vacation. All those annoying people, sand in embarrassing places–not exactly R & R for a girl who doesn’t like the sun, the ocean or bathing suits. I couldn’t wait to get back to work.
But things started looking up when I ran into Elvis and Xavier Zimmerman. We discovered we had a lot in common: gaming, anchovies, hacking. After that, the vacation was perfect–until I accidentally broke some poor guy’s fingers. Then Broken-Fingered Guy disappeared, and things got really dicey. With the Secret Service and a bunch of thugs suddenly after me, all I wanted was to solve the mystery and enjoy what was left of my vacation–preferably alive.

Have you read CATALYST (Flashpoint #2)?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about CATALYST. Here’s a snippet from the first night Bastian and Brie are together in South Sudan:

After the day Brie had just endured, it was crazy to realize she was stretched out on a grassy hilltop with Chief Bastard, laughing. But it felt right.

Plus, it was so much better than crying. “So. It’s been…quite a day.”

“Yep.” He plucked something from her hair—a twig, probably. Then combed out the short strands with his fingers. “You chopped off your hair,” he said idly, as if this was normal conversation after rescuing a woman from slavery and swamps.

“It’s easier to wash.” She wasn’t about to admit it had anything to do with him. She’d cut off a foot of hair because that was her usual reaction to rejection. No need to feed his ego, which was probably inflated enough as it was.

“I like it.”

She sighed as his fingers scraped her scalp. She was a sucker for scalp massages.

“If anyone told me ten years ago,” Bastian said, “we’d end up on a hilltop stargazing together in South Sudan, coated in mud after having escaped a slave market, I’d have told them they were nuts.”

She laughed. “I think it’s a nutty scenario for any two Americans, but admit we might be a more unlikely pair than most.”

“The second novel in Grant’s Flashpoint series offers intelligent romantic suspense that moves with the urgency of a thriller.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
