It’s the release week for my latest romantic suspense, INTO THE NIGHT  This book is the 3rd in my “Killer Instinct” series for Harlequin.

My “Killer Instinct” books focus on dark and sexy suspense–but suspense with a definite romance element.  All of the books in this series feature characters who’ve had up-close and personal experiences with killers…the killers have been their friends, their lovers, their family members. Because of this closeness, the characters in my “Killer Instinct” books have a unique understanding when it comes to serial killers…and catching those predators.

The heroine of INTO THE NIGHT is FBI Agent Macey Night. Many people thought that the man who brutally attacked Macey had died, that the infamous serial killer known as the “Doctor” was long gone…but in her heart, Macey knew that the killer was still out there.  If you’ve read my other “Killer Instinct” books, then you might have picked up on one particular scene involving Macey (it was a little Easter egg!). In BEFORE THE DAWN, there is one scene in which Macey is talking with the medical examiner, Julia.  Julia asks Macey about the man who attacked her and Macey responds with, “I killed him.”

Well…that’s part of the story.   Only part.  Macey starts to tell Julia more, but then they are interrupted.  So Macey doesn’t get to add *more* about her past. She doesn’t get to say exactly what happened to her…

Don’t worry, readers can find out soon–INTO THE NIGHT features a prologue that will show you exactly what happened to Macey when she was younger. And you’ll find out why Macey and so many others wanted to believe that her attacker was dead. Only he isn’t exactly that easy to kill.  And deep, deep inside, Macey has always known that her particular monster is still out there, despite the brave front that she’s put on for other people.  And it’s time for her to face that monster.

Have you checked out the INTO THE NIGHT excerpt?

Tired after a busy holiday? Why not curl up with a new book? INTO THE NIGHT (from Harlequin) is available now!

Sheltered in the shadows of the Smoky Mountains is the suspect who’s summoned FBI agent Macey Night’s fears to the surface. Every day that the “Profiler,” a vigilante serial killer, escapes justice is another day she’s reminded of what it is to be a ruthless predator’s prey. Capturing him is a craving deeper than anything she’s felt in a long time. But Agent Bowen Murphy, equal parts sexy and volatile, seems hell-bent on changing that. Working together—needing, living and breathing each other—they’re entwined to distraction.

Happy Holidays, everyone!!

I’m so happy to say–STAY WITH ME is available now!

When I first announced STAY WITH ME, I was intending to write a novella. But…those plans changed. My characters just had too much to say and do! So instead of winding up with a 25,000 word story, STAY WITH ME became a 50,000 word book. It’s a complete stand-alone, a sexy and suspenseful holiday romance, and I so hope readers will enjoy it! STAY WITH ME will be priced at $2.99 during release week, but the price will increase to $3.99 next week–so buy early!

And if you haven’t read the first chapter from the book, you can check it out right now.   Happy reading!!

Stay With Me…

Shelly Hampton intends to spend the holidays alone in her family’s mountain cabin, but when a snow-covered stranger appears on her door-step, her plans are shot straight to hell. The man before her seems oddly familiar, and he stirs a dark need within her.

It’s soon apparent that John Smith is far more than a normal man—he’s too strong, too fast, and she could swear that he seems to read her thoughts…and know her most secret desires.

But is John a man that she could love…or is he someone she should fear? Because even as the snow fall deepens, a deadly threat is closing in on her little cabin. And soon, Shelly will be trapped on the mountain with a dangerous man…a man who swears that he has come back from the dead, just to be with her.

I’ve got a brand new “Killer Instinct” book releasing on 12/26/17, and I thought it was time for me to share some “behind the scenes” details with you about INTO THE NIGHT.
