Gracie is fully supportive of her friends’ series of how-to videos to preserve “lost arts”—until they ask her to star in The Lost Art of Tying a Bow Tie. It’s not that she can’t tie one, it’s the man on the receiving end of her skilled fingers.

Mitch McKenna’s rugged, shirtless demonstrations of his prodigious survival skills have set the Internet on fire. He and city-girl Gracie have often clashed over his domineering, he-man ways. But when he shows up clean shaven and dressed in a tux, he takes her breath away.

Though their scorching-hot chemistry lights up the set—and the glorious nights that follow at his wilderness hideaway—Mitch is alarmed by the sheer number of online perverts who respond to Gracie’s beauty.

She balks as his protective instincts take over, and their quarrel sends her running back to the city. Mitch now faces a grim decision: protect her the only way he knows how, and lose her love. Or do it her way, and risk losing her forever.

Book 3 in the ATHENA FORCE Continuity Adventure Series

As an undercover asset for the FBI, Sasha Bracciali has learned to deceive with finesse and to improvise at a moment’s notice. But nothing could have prepared her for the multiple roles – Mafia princess, seductress, co-conspirator – she must play when she’s sent to the eastern European fortress of Vlados Zelasko, a charismatic despot who has kidnapped an Athena Academy student in order to exploit her super abilities.

Cut off from everything and everyone she knows – including the FBI handler with whom she’s been having a tentative affair – Sasha realizes too late that her talent for deception has masked a painful truth: she has no idea who she really is, what she really believes, or whom she can really trust. But she’d better figure it all out quickly, or her most ambitious charade to date will also be her last.

SPIN CONTROL: without it, the truth can be murder

When FBI agent Justin Russo is charged with murdering a suspect – one with whom he has been sleeping, no less! – attorney Suzannah Ryder knows exactly how she’ll “spin” the facts. After all, Justin has the spotless record of a bona fide hero. Plus, he’s sexy as sin, so she’ll just stack the jury with females as a back-up plan.

Her faith in her client’s innocence is unshakable. Until, without warning, she finds herself looking into Justin’s face and sees an expression so unfamiliar, so chilling, she knows she can no longer hope to spin the truth.

She can only hope to survive it...

STOLEN KISSES

Samhain Publishing

My first contemporary romance was STOLEN KISSES, a madcap comedy in which a feisty defense attorney named Josie is manipulated by her matchmaker grandmother into helping handsome FBI agent Locke Harper solve an old homicide case in which Grandma was the main witness. Locke’s grandfather was the original investigator in that case, and he’s convinced Grandpa was too distracted by Grandma’s charms to concentrate. Locke doesn’t intend to let that happen again, even though Josie is pretty distracting in her own right.

 

Harmless Error

 

HARMLESS ERROR

ISBN 0-7595-5023-9

In HARMLESS ERROR, a screwball romantic comedy with suspense overtones, celebrated criminal defense attorney Derek Grainger has used all his charisma, concentration and skill to free his client, yet still hasn’t succeeded. Now he turns to brash newcomer Laurel Banyon, hoping that her unconventional approach to criminal law will be more effective. Why do they care so much? Because their client, a reclusive man named George Perry, controls the fate of Derek’s five-year-old daughter Amy.

Amy is all Derek cares about, yet Laurel is irresistible and time is running out. Can these two professionals handle the challenge without the distraction of falling in love? Or does their love hold the key to the solution?
