THE ROOKIE by Kimberly Kincaid: Police recruit Xander Matthews has two goals: to keep his head down and his dark and dangerous past where it belongs–behind him. He never thought he’d see brash, beautiful ADA Tara Kingston again. But now they must catch a brutal killer before it’s too late.

SCOUT by Janie Crouch: Linear Tactical’s Wyatt Highfield is running for his life with intel that will break up a human trafficking ring.

NIGHT OWL by Rachel Grant: Jenna O’Donnell wants only three things: to live in Tamarack, Alaska for the rest of her life; for Ted Godfrey to fall into a glacial crevasse; and Brad Fraser. Brad Fraser wants only three things: to leave Tamarack, Alaska and never return; for his coworker, Ted Godfrey, to be fired; and to never, ever fall in love. But Brad tempts fate when he takes Jenna out for a night of owl watching, and once he spends time alone with her, his carefully planned escape from both frigid north and fiery waitress is no longer simple…

THE GUARDIAN by Cristin Harber: After a rollercoaster of headline-grabbing family tragedies, Roxana Carter couldn’t have said yes any faster when her perfectly predictable boyfriend proposed marriage.

With the help of the LSI Keepers, can Levi untangle Claire’s problems in time to save her life?

A passionate first love. A deep betrayal. One last chance to make it right.

Jax Walker left Chiara Campbell behind without a word, but he’s never forgotten how it felt to love that fiercely. Not that it matters—he can never go back to Tierney Bay, because the secret he’s keeping would tear them both apart.

Chiara has written Jax out of her life and her memory—until he shows up at the shop where she works. All the hurt she thought she’d buried is still there, and so is her fiery attraction to him. The more Chiara and Jax work together to save the shop, the more she wants things she can’t have.

She knows she’s going to get her heart broken again. She knows it’s going to hurt like hell.

And she’s pretty sure that when he kisses her, she’ll kiss him right back.

The Weekly Recap – 7/10/2020

TAINTED EVIDENCE is a hit!

To rescue museologist Maddie from a creep, security specialist Josh steps in to pose as her boyfriend. But the stakes get higher when Maddie uncovers long-buried secrets with deadly consequences — and Josh realizes his feelings are more than just an act…

“This book seemed so real, so current and so emotional…I couldn’t put it down.”

??????????

In TAINTED EVIDENCE the attraction between Josh and Maddie develops quickly, but Josh has responsibilities that prevent him from starting a relationship. He fights the pull of attraction and often ends up losing, as in this early scene:

Maddie walked him to the front door and paused the alarm to step outside. Josh faced her, the intensity in his eyes sending a shot of heat straight to her center. “I wish we could start something.”

“Me too.” She didn’t think she’d ever said a truer thing.

He held her gaze. A car pulled up in front of her house, but he didn’t move. He stared at her for a long moment, then said, “Screw it,” and his hand was behind her neck, pulling her forward. He leaned down and gave her a hot, deep kiss. His tongue invaded her mouth, and she took him in and stroked him with her own.

The kiss was intense, amazing, and utterly unexpected.

A horn honked.

Josh raised his head. He gave her a slow, sexy smile. “G’night, Maddie.”

She smiled back, giddiness radiating outward until even her fingertips tingled. “Night, Josh.”

He crossed the front walk and climbed into the waiting vehicle. She was back inside and had just reset the alarm when her phone buzzed.

Josh: I shouldn’t have done that.

Maddie: I know.

Josh: I’m not sorry.

Maddie: I’m not either.

??????????

“Rachel Grant is one of my favourite writers and has been for a long time, but I can honestly say, this novel is her best yet.”

Rachel Recommends – A Jayne Ann Krentz Sale

Check this out! My friend Jayne Ann Krentz‘s book UNTOUCHABLE is only $1.99!! I just grabbed it (and added the audiobook for only $7.49)!

Quinton Zane is back.

Jack Lancaster, consultant to the FBI, has always been drawn to the coldest of cold cases, the kind that law enforcement either considers unsolvable or else has chalked up to accidents or suicides. As a survivor of a fire, he finds himself uniquely compelled by arson cases. His almost preternatural ability to get inside killers’ heads has garnered him a reputation in some circles—and complicated his personal life. The more cases Jack solves, the closer he slips into the darkness. His only solace is Winter Meadows, a meditation therapist. After particularly grisly cases, Winter can lead Jack back to peace.

But while Quinton Zane is alive, Jack will not be at peace for long. Having solidified his position as the power behind the throne of his biological family’s hedge fund, Zane sets out to get rid of Anson Salinas’s foster sons, starting with Jack.

TAINTED EVIDENCE (Evidence #10) is Available Now!

Posted on July 3, 2020July 3, 2020 by adminrachelgrant

TAINTED EVIDENCE is now available!!! ???????

Some family secrets are deadly…

Inventorying human remains can be difficult at the best of times without a creepy security guard hovering over Maddie Foster’s shoulder. Nervous about being stuck in the crypt with the strange man, Maddie asks a friend of a friend to drop by and pretend to be her boyfriend to force the guy to back off.

Raptor operative Josh Warner recently moved to Oregon to take over as guardian to his troubled niece and open a new private security branch in the Pacific Northwest. Josh doesn’t hesitate to help Maddie and is intrigued by the brainy museologist. His protective nature kicks into high gear as he discovers she may be in very real danger.

Tensions run hot in the summer heat as Josh’s work puts everyone he cares about at risk, and Maddie’s research into the museum collection raises questions better left buried. As their city teeters on the precipice of violence, Josh and Maddie find themselves embroiled in a deadly scheme that could reshape the nation.

GRAB IT BEFORE IT’S GONE

Rachel Recommends – The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée

I loved this book!

I’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella.

My instructions were simple: scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed for a yacht vacation.

I need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways…yet too annoying to tempt me—no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only.

If she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better.

Should be easy. Right?

Apparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser.

What were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most aggravating woman in the world.

Tabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet hamster. She loves Hello Kitty, and she gets under my skin like nobody else.

As if that’s not bad enough, the minute we step on deck, she thinks that certain people on the yacht are up to something shady—based completely on her soap opera knowledge.

She won’t listen when I tell her she’s being ridiculous.

But as the days go by, I find that we’re actually having fun. And our fake kisses are heating up. And suddenly her wild theories aren’t sounding so strange after all…

**The stand-alone romcoms in this series can be read in any order!**

Another Recommendation and a Special Cover

I’m also recommending FIFTY FIRST DATES by Jolie Moore. My talented daughter created the cover for this memoir about a middle age romance writer starting over and searching for love!

A romance author joins Tinder to find true love. What could go wrong?

•Left an abusive marriage. Check.
•Did a heap of therapy. And meditation. And yoga. Check.
•Got on Bumble. Got on OKCupid. Got on Tinder. Check.

Dan Savage ruined my marriage. But he saved my life.

Wisdom of a single advice columnist changed everything.

When I moved out, I took only the clothes I could carry, my writing desk, my office chair, and the books on my keeper shelf. Walking out of a two-decade-long marriage was the easy part. Getting my self-esteem back was much harder. Once I healed enough to realize I was okay, I was ready to start dating again. #50firstdates was born. Fifty dates seemed like enough to meet Mr. Right or at least Mr. Right Now. Dating in middle-age was nothing like I thought it was going to be. Follow me on my real-life journey…as I search for my next big love.

This is my own Crazy. Beautiful. Love. Story.

The Weekly Recap – 3/13/20

Posted on March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 by adminrachelgrant

When History and Fiction Meet

This story might remind you of COLD EVIDENCE (with a little POISON EVIDENCE thrown in)….

The following brief excerpt is from WorkBoat.com. If you’re as fascinated as I am by ocean discoveries and how they happen, I highly recommend reading the article.

“Veteran ocean explorer and Tiburon Subsea CEO Tim Taylor and his “Lost 52 Project” team have added to their list of ocean discoveries with submarine USS Stickleback (SS 415). The submarine was lost 62 years ago in close to 11,000? of water and is one of four submarines that suffered this fate during the Cold War.

In nine years, Taylor and his Lost 52 Project Team have discovered six U.S. submarines utilizing pioneering robotics and methods at the forefront of today’s underwater technology. By applying a combination of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV’s), remotely operated vehicles (ROV’s), and advanced photogrammetry imaging technology, Taylor and his team have amassed the most comprehensive historical archaeological records to date, the team said.”

COLD EVIDENCE

The frigid waters of the Pacific Northwest
are about to get hot…

The only thing Navy underwater archaeologist Undine Gray fears more than facing former SEAL Luke Sevick is never scuba diving again. But when a dive on a Cold War-era US Navy submarine ends with an accidental explosion, she’s terrified of going into the deep, forcing her to beg the most experienced diver she knows to take her back to the bottom of the cold Salish Sea.

Luke wants nothing to do with the woman who destroyed his career 12 years ago but finds it impossible to turn his back on her plea. Caught off-guard by an attraction he doesn’t want to feel, he’s eager to be done with this mission of mercy. But when they dive on the wreck, he only gets sucked in deeper. Someone has been digging on the Navy sub…and it appears the explosion that almost killed Undine was no accident.

To find the truth, Undine must navigate murky waters and the unexpectedly hot undercurrents swirling between her and Luke. Worse, divers are searching for something lost in US waters during the Cold War, and they’ll do anything to keep Luke and Undine from finding it first.

POISON EVIDENCE

It was supposed to be paradise…

Ivy MacLeod has the perfect opportunity to test her advanced remote sensing technology: mapping a World War II battle site in the islands of Palau. The project is more than an all-expenses-paid trip to paradise. It’s also an opportunity to distance her reputation from her traitorous ex-husband.

But foreign intelligence agencies will kill to possess her invention, and paradise turns deadly when her ex-husband’s vicious allies attack. In desperation, she turns to Air Force pilot Jack Keaton. But is he the bigger threat? Jack might be protecting her as he claims…or he could be a foreign agent. Her compass is skewed by his magnetic pull and further thrown off when she learns her own government has betrayed her.

Stranded on a tropical island with a man whose motives remain a mystery, Ivy must decide who is the spy, who is the protector, and who is the ultimate villain. She longs to trust the man who rescued her, but she’s risking more than her heart. Choose right, and she saves her country’s secrets—and her life. Choose wrong—and she risks nothing short of all-out war.
