DANGEROUS GROUND in Publishers Weekly

I am so thrilled that DANGEROUS GROUND (Fiona Carver Series Book 1) received a starred review from Publishers Weekly!

“This page-turning romance is headed for many a keeper shelf.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

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.

PreOrder Today! Release Date is August 17, 2021.

A FREE Book for you!

Lori Ryan’s NORI’S DELTA is FREE this week only!

He won’t lose her again…?
?Delta Operative Heath “Woof” Davis has spent years living on the edge. Protecting a State Department official is just another assignment until he discovers that Eleanor Bonham is Nori Duncan, the one that got away. He can protect her from enemy forces in the Republic of Kazarus, but can he defend his heart from the woman who used to be his everything?
She’s not going to fall for a soldier boy…
High school was a long time ago, and Eleanor is no longer the heartbroken girl who ended things with Heath. She doesn’t have time for love, not if she’s going to rise in the ranks at State Department. But Heath is even more handsome than he was back then, and his years in the military have honed him into a man completely unlike the boy she once knew. With his sights set on her, how can she resist?
The mission in Kazarus is as important as it is dangerous. Eleanor and Heath will need to rely on one another if they are going to see the mission through. But will they be able to overcome past pain for the hope of a future?

and

Serena Bell is one of my favorite people AND favorite authors, and she has a wonderful new release!! This steamy escape to the great outdoors is a wonderful way to kick off your summer reading this weekend!!

She’s a city girl. I’m a mountain man. This shouldn’t work. So why can’t I stay away? ?
?
?Gabe: From the moment Lucy ropes me into saving the ducklings, I can’t keep my eyes–or hands–off her. Until I find out she’s the consultant hired to revamp our family outdoor adventure business. It’s her job to help us win over Rush Creek’s new tourists, who come to our small town for the spas and weddings. If Lucy gets her way, Wilder Adventures will become Wilder Romantic Adventures.
?
Now my rowdy crew of brothers and I are stuck showing her the town we love and the mountains we know like the back of our hands. 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. ?
?
?She’s driving me wild. All I can do is make her wilder.

You can PreOrder BROKEN FALCON!

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.

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.?

SILENT EVIDENCE (Evidence #8)

.01The man of her fantasies is finally hers. Sort of…

Two things haunt forensic anthropologist Hazel MacLeod: the bones of victims of genocide she examines for her work, and former SEAL Sean Logan’s rejection. But within days of moving to her cousin’s estate to take a much needed break, she finds herself faced with both.

First, she’s called in to examine a mass grave in Virginia, then, her politician cousin receives a threatening letter and insists Hazel needs around the clock protection–from none other than Sean Logan. To make matters worse, because the threat to her is classified, Hazel and Sean must pretend to be lovers to hide that he’s her bodyguard.

Sean has spent years trying to avoid his boss’s sexy cousin, but now he’s guarding her twenty-four seven and even bringing her as his date to a romantic destination wedding. As the heat between them intensifies, Sean can’t lose sight of the danger that brought them together. But when bullets start flying, new questions arise. Are the senator’s political rivals really behind the threat, or is someone trying to silence Hazel from speaking for the dead?

Darcy Burke Cover Reveal

I LOVE Darcy Burke‘s Legendary Rogues series!! (I *might* have gotten to help plot some of these.) I can’t wait for this one!  On September 13th Darcy revealed the beautiful cover for  CAPTIVATING THE SCOUNDREL, the fourth book in her Legendary Rogues Series, on the USA Today Happy Ever After blog!

It releases January 29th – which gives you time to catch up on the first three books in the Legendary Rogues Series!

.01

Daphne Foliot has always known she’ll be married off to a man who, like her, descended from one of King Arthur’s fabled knights. That doesn’t mean she wants to be, even if it is her beloved father’s wish. Raised without a mother, she owes everything to the man who encouraged and funded her education and supports her dream of becoming the first female member of the Order of the Round Table. But when she suspects her chosen husband is a traitor to the Order, she plans to expose his treachery, regardless of their extraordinary mutual attraction.

Heir to the thirteen treasures of Britain, Gideon Kersey vows to do anything to protect his family’s legacy from a secret society bent on exploiting the items for personal gain, including marry a woman he doesn’t love. Except she ignites a passion he was certain died with his first wife, and when the truth behind the Order’s objectives threatens everything Daphne knows, Gideon must fight to save her—and any future they hope to share.

A New Release Spotlight

Victoria Helen Stone has a new release!

Jane-Doe-CoverMedium

“Stone does a masterful job of creating in Jane a complex character, making her both scary and more than a little appealing…This beautifully balanced thriller will keep readers tense, surprised, pleased, and surprised again as a master manipulator unfolds her plan of revenge.”  —  Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A double life with a single purpose: revenge.

Jane’s days at a Midwest insurance company are perfectly ordinary. She blends in well, unremarkably pretty in her floral-print dresses and extra efficient at her low-level job. She’s just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes—meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven.

But plain Jane is hiding something. And Steven’s bringing out the worst in her.
Nothing can distract Jane from going straight for his heart: allowing herself to be seduced into Steven’s bed, to insinuate herself into his career and his family, and to expose all his dirty secrets. It’s time for Jane to dig out everything that matters to Steven. So she can take it all away.

Just as he did to her.

FIRESTORM – A+ from AudioGals!

https://www.audiogals.net/2018/08/firestorm-by-rachel-grant/

I’m thrilled that AudioGals gave FIRESTORM an A+ review rating!  You can read the entire review by clicking the link above or simply click on the FIRESTORM cover.

Here’s a snippet of the review:

” …utterly compelling and perfectly paced, with plenty of high-stakes drama, action sequences and steamy love scenes. Cal and Savvy have incredible chemistry and their relationship is brilliantly developed; both are guarded, in spite of their burning mutual attraction, and I loved listening to them gradually working through their issues and learning to trust one another emotionally as well they do when it comes to kicking enemy butt. Ms. Grant never fails to impress me with the quality of her research, her knowledge of the politics of the region, and the seamless way she incorporates them into her stories; I never feel as though I’m being subjected to a lesson, and her books always make me want to find out more…

Lock the doors, switch off the phone and tell everyone you’re out of town for a few days, because once you’ve started listening to Firestorm, you won’t be able to stop.”
