Redemption: The act of being saved from sin, error, or evil.

Antiques dealer by day, secret painter by night, Rory Flanagan arrives home to find a man, battered and bruised, sprawled out on her newly upholstered Victorian sofa. The brash, six-foot-four stranger takes an unusual interest in Rory’s vintage gold pendant—given to Rory by her mother the day she was killed.

They say Christian Locke is a loner, an orphan, a mysterious cowboy the small-town gossips deem an outsider. They tell her to stay away. But Rory can’t ignore the connection she feels to the mulish recluse, or the interest he has in the cursed necklace she wears around her neck.

Christian says he doesn’t believe in fate, but every twist and turn of the pendant’s story seems to lead her to the same place…
?
Welcome to Redemption Road.

Coming January 4th:
CRASH SITE (Fiona Carver #2)

For archaeologist Fiona Carver, the Caribbean glistens with untold menace in a heart-racing novel by Rachel Grant, USA Today bestselling author of Dangerous Ground.

Fiona Carver has landed a dream assignment: conducting an archaeological inventory of Ruby Island, a privately owned, pristine gem in the Caribbean. Two months in paradise exploring and mapping a lush rain forest, vast caves, and a seventeenth-century star fort and following up on legends of hidden Spanish gold. Add a simmering reunion with wildlife photographer Dean Slater and it’s enough to take Fiona’s breath away. But the sparkle fades when Dean’s arrival is met with sudden, terrifying danger.

Reunited and determined to see the project through, Fiona and Dean find themselves in a swirl of intrigue as they delve into the complex history of the unspoiled refuge, now a tropical haven for billionaires and their secrets. But the work isn’t easy, as someone appears determined to kill the project—by any means necessary.

As betrayal casts tropical storm clouds over Ruby Island and treasured friendships dissolve into distrust, one thing becomes clear: Fiona and Dean are trapped in a dangerous paradise.

RACHEL RECOMMENDS – A 99c Sale and New Release

Blair Babylon has a 99c Sale

Blair Babylon is wrapping up her Billionaires in Disguise: Maxence series with the final installment releasing on July 20th. This week, you can get the first book in the series ROGUE for only 99¢! I loved this steamy intro to Maxence and Dree!! Her ex-boyfriend was supposed to propose in Paris, but instead, he swindled her out of every penny she owned. Now, the hottest man she’s ever seen has an indecent proposal to get her on her feet, and on her back, and on her knees.

FML. I will never believe anything a man tells me, ever again.

Even if he is a 6-feet-4, hot, ripped, handsome as a movie star, filthy rich billionaire.

I was a good girl who had nothing left to lose, literally. My ex-boyfriend had stolen everything. except a non-refundable plane ticket to Paris, which was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime where that deadbeat was supposed to propose at the top of the Eiffel Tower. So, I got on the plane without him.

After all that, it was understandable that when I started drinking at the Buddha Bar, things got a little out of hand.

Luckily, a man intervened. He was so ripped that I could see every thick muscle of his abs, obliques, chest, and arms through the tight tee shirt he was wearing. He towered over the guys who were bothering me, and they backed off.

I took him back to my hotel because I was full of drunken, bad decisions that night.

The last thing I needed was a man who wanted to save me when I was trying to do all the wrong things.

Julie Kenner has a New Release

Julie Kenner’s Royal Cocktail is set in the Man of the Month world, but the book is a complete standalone, so you don’t have to know the Man of the Month books to enjoy it.

Sparks fly between a playboy prince and an idealistic lawyer, but when the demands of the throne call, can they get a fairy tale ending?

Prince Leopold of Avelle-am-see is destined to rule his small European country. But he doesn’t want to. His entire life, Leopold has rebelled against the inevitable, gaining a reputation in Europe as a bad boy royal with a chip on his shoulder.

Skye Porter jams on researching complex legal issues, but with her lifelong speech impairment, she’s happy to pass the briefs off to another lawyer to argue. Just the idea of being in the spotlight makes her cringe. Two years ago, she dodged a bullet when her intense college fling with charismatic Leo ended when the bastard ghosted her. At the time, she’d had no idea he was a prince, or she never would have fallen so hard.

Now Leo is back, and the chemistry between them sparks just as hot. With his promise of secrecy, Skye surrenders to one more wild night. But when the press finds them together, Skye is tossed into a nightmare of tabloid photos, graphic memes, and a life in the public eye.

Can a reluctant royal and the girl next door find their happily ever after?

THE BODY IN THE BEAVER POND

Even an event planner doesn’t plan on murder!

Keri Isles desperately needs to sell the Christmas Tree farm her cheating, jerk of an ex-husband convinced his buddy, the judge, to saddle her with in the divorce settlement. Stuck in the Cascade Mountains, she’s lost her Seattle-based event planner job and local job prospects are as scarce as internet service. When she finds the arrogant professor in charge of the nearby archeology dig floating face-down in her beaver pond, unloading the property becomes secondary to staying out of prison.

A savvy—and scheming—attorney may be able to keep her head above water, but the personal price of his retainer may be too high. It’s up to Keri to use her mad networking skills and deploy a team of archaeology students, a bad boy photographer, and assorted eccentric neighbors to find the killer and clear her name.

In Your Eyes

Possessive hands. Wild obsession.
He’ll break any rule to claim her.

Billionaire bad boy Parker Manning buried his dark past beneath fast cars and faster women. With his chiseled good looks and Texas oil legacy, Parker’s used to laying claim to whatever—or whoever—he desires, and he’s never met a woman he couldn’t seduce into his bed.

Not, that is, until Megan Clark. Years ago, she flatly refused him. Now, she’s back—and she needs a favor. No way is Parker letting her get away again, and he conditions his agreement on one sensuous night with Megan in his bed and at his mercy.

He never expects to want more. To crave this woman who fascinates and challenges him. But he does, and now he’s determined to possess her.

But Megan’s a woman with secrets of her own, and if Parker wants to claim her, he’s going to have to conquer his past and show Megan his true heart.

Meet Mr. June. Summer’s heat has nothing on him.

In Your Eyes is the sixth in a binge-read series by New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and #1 International bestselling author of the million copy Stark series, J. Kenner.

Get It On

Fate’s been messing with me. It took my buddies in combat and my wife in a fatal car accident. But I’ll be damned if I’ll let Fate take my beloved bar, The Fix on Sixth, so every bit of my focus is on saving my business.

Or it was. Because all that changed when the first woman who ever touched my heart walked back into my life—along with the daughter I never knew I had.

Eva’s sensual curves and sharp wit still capture my heart and rekindle my senses. Now—for the first time in forever—I’ve found a passion that’s worth fighting to keep other than my bar.

But Fate’s not through yanking my chain, and in one final twist, it pits the bar I can’t bear to lose against the woman who’s stolen my heart.

Start Me Up

Wicked days. Sinful nights.
Meet Mr. April.

A high school drop-out with only his twisted sense of humor and panty-melting good looks going for him, Nolan Wood has turned a small radio gig into a thriving career.

Now a local celebrity, Nolan never wants for female companionship. But he never gets too close. And he damn sure never lets them see the man—or the pain—behind the jokes.

Then a one-night stand changes everything.

Career-focused, goal-oriented, and buttoned-down accountant Shelby Drake isn’t the kind of woman who’d usually catch Nolan’s attention, but her soft mouth, hidden curves, and deep sensuality blow his mind. And after only one taste, he wants more.

But Shelby wants nothing more to do with him. And now the radio playboy is on a sensual mission to convince her that opposites really do attract.

Her pleasure is his passion.

Each novel in the series is a STANDALONE romance with a guaranteed HEA! But even so, you won’t want to miss any in the series. Because then you can answer the questionWho’s Your Man of the Month?

From New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd comes DARKNESS CHOSEN, a seductive series about an ancient, dark evil that lives in the modern world …

A thousand years ago, a brutal warrior roamed the Russian steppes. Driven by his craving for power, Konstantine struck a terrible bargain. In return for the ability to change at will into a cold-hearted predator, he promised his soul, and the souls of his descendants, to the devil. Then one day a dangerous prophecy reveals the truth: one family has been chosen to battle the darkness — or face damnation.

Plain Ann Smith loves her handsome, dynamic boss, Jasha Wilder, but her daring plan to seduce him goes awry when she encounters a powerful wolf who, before her horrified eyes, changes into the man she adores. She flees, he pursues, but they can’t escape their destinies. For Jasha is Konstantine’s descendant and Ann is the woman fated to break the curse that binds his soul. To find heaven in each other’s arms, they have the devil to pay.

Jayne Ann Krentz takes us on another journey into the abilities of the human mind in WHITE LIES – only $2.99 for a limited time! Bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz takes us beyond the everyday boundaries of the mind—and the heart—in the second Arcane Society novel.

Petite, thirtysomething Clare Lancaster is a Level Ten para-sensitive—and a “human lie detector.” Over the years, she’s come to accept that someone with her extraordinary talents is likely to have trouble in the relationship department. And she’s even resigned herself to the fact that everyone, to one degree or another, hides behind a facade. . . .

And now it seems that meeting the half sister and family whom she never knew until seven months ago was a mistake. Her father summons her from California to play a role in his business empire, and Clare doesn’t intend on making the same mistake twice. But after meeting Jake Salter, Archer Lancaster’s “financial consultant,” Clare is convinced that things aren’t what they seem. Salter’s careful conversation seems to walk a delicate line between truth and deception, revealing and resisting.
Something sparks and sizzles between them—something more than the usual electricity between a man and a woman.

Caught in a dizzying storm of secrets, lies, and half-truths, Jake and Clare will plunge into an investigation that demands every bit of their special gifts—together they must overcome their mutual distrust in order to unravel a web of conspiracy and murder.

It looks like I’ve lost about 3 months worth of posts because a glitch with FB made me switch (temporarily, I thought) back to old Facebook to fix the problem.

But Lucy hates small towns, getting messy, and anything involving the woods or the water. Even the Wilder brothers’ charm might not be enough to change her mind. Though I’m giving it my best shot. I never knew how hot a campfire could get, or how much I’d love sharing my tent.

Pretty soon, I’m in over my head. And even though I know no one can talk a city girl into small town life, I’m still trying. ?

Falcon Graphic
Did you know? My daughter is a design major in her junior year of college. Recently, she made this falcon graphic for my BROKEN FALCON cover!

Chase Johnston is leading a double life. After two years of psychological torment, the quiet, highly skilled Raptor operative now has a darker side, and he’s hellbent on bringing sex-traffickers to justice—using any means necessary. The only relief he finds for his troubled mind is a woman he’ll never meet in person.

Eden O’Keeffe is also leading a double life. By day she’s a grad student and barista, but at night she sits in front of a camera and provides companionship for those seeking entertainment, titillation, or simple conversation. She enjoys the freedom of being a siren online, but her secret career comes with risks that force her to hide her true identity at all costs.

When Chase walks into a coffee shop and comes face to face with the one person who makes him feel again, it seems his long nightmare may be coming to an end. But in entering Eden’s world, he’s bringing that nightmare—and the danger that comes with it—to her doorstep.?

Meet Chase, the hero of BROKEN FALCON (Evidence #11)

There are two lines of dialogue delivered by Chase in Tainted Evidence that I particularly love, because they sum him up quite well after what he’s gone through.

The first one comes after Chase has said some very insightful things to Josh after he allowed his niece to sabotage his relationship with Maddie.

Josh had made it his personal mission to help Chase in his recovery, but he never considered that the guy was way ahead of him in emotional intelligence. He sat on the edge of Chase’s bed, the wind knocked out of him. “There’s nothing wrong with your brain. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”

“Aw, hell, man, I’ve got a bag of cats playing with knives in my head. It’s you I can see clearly.

The second one is after one of the villains is acting in a threatening manner toward Maddie, and Chase is her bodyguard.

Faster than lightning, Chase had the bigger man in a tight hold, Troy’s face pressed to the door panel and his arm wrenched behind his back.

“You can’t do this,” Troy said, his voice cracking with pain as Chase torqued his arm. “This is my house.”

“I can do whatever I want if I think Maddie is threatened. Did you miss the part where I’m her bodyguard?”

“I didn’t threaten her.”

“I didn’t like your tone. Or your words.” His voice went really low. “After what Maddie’s been through, the cops will believe me over you, especially given that there are photos of you with her abductor for all the world to see.”

“I didn’t have anything to do with that! Hell, for all we know, she made it up.”

Chase wrenched Troy’s arm higher. “Let me tell you something, Troy.” The name sounded ominous the way Chase said it. “I might look like a nice guy, but deep down, I’ve got a shit ton of rage, and I’ve been looking for an excuse to let it all out. So don’t fuck with me.”

These two lines, in which Chase admits in different ways the struggle he’s having in his mind after the torture and abuse he’s suffered, made me so eager to write his book. Chase was a young, sweet, funny, shy man before he first came on scene in Incriminating Evidence. You see a bit of who he was in Night Owl. But now he has a dark side and he’s trying to figure out who he really is.

I’m excited to share that Broken Falcon is now available for presale! The release date listed is in December, but it will be moved up–probably to late July–as soon as the first round of copyedits are complete. (Given the craziness of the last year, I didn’t want to risk having to push the release date back if something unexpected came up.)?

Falcon Graphic?

Trying to remember which books include Chase? We first meet him in the prequel Night Owl which leads to the important role he plays in Incriminating Evidence. He’s next on scene in Silent Evidence and again plays an important role. He appears in both books that follow: Winter Hawk and Tainted Evidence. You do not need to read these books to enjoy Broken Falcon! Links are provided for those who prefer to read in order.  Night Owl is free in E and audiobook.
