DANGEROUS GROUND Audiobook News

I am so thrilled to share with you that DANGEROUS GROUND has THREE narrators: Eva Kaminsky, A.T. Chandler, and Michele Yatchmeneff. Romance audiobook fans will likely be familiar with Eva Kaminsky and A.T. Chandler (although they might be more familiar with A.T.’s work as Aiden Snow). I’m a huge fan of both narrators and am thrilled they were cast as Fiona and Dean! ?

In addition, I am deeply honored that Michele Yatchmeneff narrated a pivotal scene in the story that was written from the point of view of a Unangax? woman. There aren’t enough words to convey how over the moon I am that Brilliance Audio, my audiobook publisher, went the extra mile to cast a woman from the community to voice the role! ?

Fiona Carver #1

In the remote and unpredictable Aleutians, danger comes without warning in an adrenaline rush of a novel by USA Today bestselling author Rachel Grant.

Archaeologist Fiona Carver has unfinished business in the Aleutian Islands. After an emergency evacuation cut her first expedition short, she’s finally back. But time is not on her side as she races to finish documenting the remnants of a prehistoric village, recover missing artifacts, and track down missing volcanologist Dylan Slater.

Having bluffed his way onto Fiona’s team with fake credentials, wildlife photographer Dean Slater is willing to risk more than federal prison to find his missing brother, but he needs Fiona’s help. She knows the inhospitable terrain better than anyone.

When the two set out together on a perilous journey, it becomes more than a recovery mission. In their fight for survival, nature isn’t the only threat. They aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Mile by dangerous mile, someone is hunting them.

Ready for the next Fiona Carver? PreOrder Today!

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.

CONCRETE EVIDENCE News

Audiobook rights to CONCRETE EVIDENCE recently reverted to me, and as it was the only book in the Evidence Series that wasn’t narrated by Nicol Zanzarella, I was eager to have it re-recorded. As an audiobook listener, I’m a big fan of dual narration, and I also love Greg Tremblay’s work on the Flashpoint Series, so this felt like the perfect opportunity to ask both Nicol and Greg to narrate the book. I’m so thrilled they both were eager for the project and listening to them voice Erica and Lee felt like a homecoming of sorts. (And they’re teaming up again for BROKEN FALCON which will be out October 22nd!)

I took the opportunity to do some light revisions of the book and added an epilouge that I had only been able to offer as a separate bonus while the original audiobook was under contract. Readers have long wanted a little more of Erica and Lee’s happily ever after and I’m happy to share that you can now download the updated ebook and purchase the new audiobook.

The ebook of CONCRETE EVIDENCE is free at all etailers!

DANGEROUS GROUND is almost here!!

To celebrate, I’m sharing the entire 1st Chapter in 7 parts on my Facebook page – come join us!

Chapter One

Whidbey Island, Washington / September

Dean had done some risky and dangerous things in his ten years as a wildlife photographer, but nothing that could send him to federal prison. But then, this wasn’t an assignment from National Geographic. He wasn’t going to remote, frigid Alaska to photograph polar bears under the aurora borealis. And while he would certainly be expected to take photos of birds, his role on this expedition wasn’t that of a photographer at all.

He wasn’t even going as himself.

He’d cleared the first major hurdle and now approached the group of scientists and engineers on the tarmac waiting to board the plane. He was just minutes from takeoff, which was the point of no return. Federal prison might await him at the end of this flight or expedition, but he’d worry about that after he found his brother.

Two women and three men stood in a cluster, watching uniformed marines load supplies into the back of the cargo plane. Dean joined the group and was about to introduce himself when the engines of a small fighter jet on the runway fired up.

He ripped open the pack of disposable earplugs he’d been handed before being permitted onto the restricted tarmac and quickly inserted them. Everyone waiting for the flight watched the fighter jet prepare to take off, so Dean used the opportunity to check out the five people also heading to Chiksook Island.

It was easy to guess which of the two women was the archaeologist. Dylan had said she was tall and beautiful. Both women were attractive, but the one with lighter-brown hair had a good six inches on the other.

Until yesterday, when Pollux Engineering had given him the list of scientists and engineers slated for this trip, he’d known only her first name, making reaching out to her impossible. Now, standing just feet from her at long last, he couldn’t tell her his real name if he wanted to avoid prison. Avoiding prison might not be his top priority, but it was high on the list.

Fiona Carver’s shoulder-length honey-brown hair had gold and red highlights that he could believe were natural. While human subjects were not his specialty, he’d donated his skills over the years to photograph models and actresses on location with various animals to raise money for habitat preservation and protection. He’d since become friends with many in the film and fashion industries, and he knew enough about both to recognize that Fiona had either been blessed by the hair gods or she had a really excellent stylist.

There wasn’t a speck of makeup on her lightly freckled, pale-cream skin, but then this military flight to a remote island in the Aleutian chain for government-contracted fieldwork wasn’t a makeup-wearing sort of trip for most people.

The fighter jet hurtled down the runway just as the military ground crew signaled for Dean and the other civilians to board the waiting aircraft.

This was it. Stepping onto the plane meant no turning back. If he was caught, he could kiss his perfect life and career goodbye.

So be it. He’d risk anything for his brother. Dylan would do nothing less for him.

Finding Dylan was Dean’s number one priority.
