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.

My “Killer Instinct” series with Harlequin books focuses 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.

Over on my Facebook page, I’m giving away 3 print copies of INTO THE NIGHT. Come on over and enter for your chance to win!

It’s just one week until the release of my holiday romance/romantic suspense, STAY WITH ME! I am so excited for readers to get this book!

Though there has been a change…when I originally announced STAY WITH ME, I said it would be a novella. Only, um, it isn’t. STAY WITH ME wound up being 50,000 words long. The characters had a lot to say! But don’t worry, I will be keeping the title at $2.99 during the pre-order period AND during the first week of release. But after that, the book will become $3.99 (so buy early!).

And have you checked out the excerpt yet?

Do you love vampires? Sexy shifters? If so, then I’ve got book news for you! Kensington has re-released my paranormal romance, ONCE BITTEN, TWICE BURNED, in mass market form.  If you’re out shopping, you should be able to find the book at your local bookstore or Walmart. I love spotting books in the wild. 😉

Blood–And Lust

Ryder Duncan keeps his secrets. With a twisted scientist starving him in a 10 x 12 cell, it’s not easy to conceal the abilities that set him apart from other vampires, or his plans for escape. But survival–and revenge–are worth waiting for. Until the so-called doctor tempts his appetites with something special: a woman, with a soft Southern accent and a scent like flowers. Sabine.

Sabine Acadia didn’t volunteer to be dinner. She was kidnapped and tossed into the cage of a monster. A monster with fierce green eyes, a body that speaks of ruthless power–but a touch gentle as a caress. Ryder knows things about her, secrets Sabine needs to learn fast. Because while they might soon escape this prison, she’s fighting an urge to set all her desires free. . .

He was hired to protect her.

Watching gorgeous Gwen Hawthorne wasn’t a hard job—but it certainly was tempting. Chance Valentine had tried to keep his distance from the sexy socialite for years, but when her father hired him to keep watch on her—as a twenty-four, seven bodyguard—Chance knew his control was about to be pushed to the limit.

He’d never wanted another woman the way he desired her. Hot. Intense. Consuming.  Being so close to Gwen, Chance knew that he wouldn’t be able to resist her.  So he gave into his need, her need, and he took them both to the edge of a dark and consuming desire.

But Chance soon realizes that he isn’t the only one watching Gwen.  Someone else is out there, a stalker who won’t rest until Gwen is destroyed.  Every day, every moment…Gwen is in danger.   And Chance knows that if he can’t unmask the stalker, then he may just lose the only woman he has ever loved.

Watch me.

I often get requests from readers to put different books into box sets–and I’m happy to report that I’ve just made a sexy holiday bundle for you. All of the titles in this set have been previously published, but this is the first time they’ve all been together in my “Naughty or Nice” collection.

Each story takes place during the holiday season. The stories range from a sexy paranormal tale (A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL) to a steamy spy story (CHRISTMAS WITH A SPY). The collection also includes MINE TO PROTECT (sexy suspense) and BROKEN ANGEL (just what happens when an angel falls?).   

I hope that you enjoy the stories! If you have not read them before, the holiday season is a perfect time to curl up with these sexy tales.
