In anticipation of ONE DARK WISH's release later this month, I've put together a primer about the Deadly Force Series. In today's post, I'm discussing a secretive group of men that is threaded through these stories as both friend and foe of the ex-Green Beret heroes who populate the series. This group is known as the Fianna.  In all of the Deadly Force books, the Fianna are led by a man known as the Prince. The men in the Fianna come from every army in the world. For personal reasons, each man leaves his men and his family and tithes to the Fianna where they then undergo extreme training for missions that are not sanctioned by any government. This army has more money than most nations and works completely on their own.  They are known for their assassinations although they perform many other missions that protect the innocent and bring justice where there was none previously. Governments and their armies stay out of their way.  But the idea of a secret...

I can't believe that in three months ONE DARK WISH , the second book in my Deadly Force romantic suspense series, will come out.  While summer will pass quickly, I actually wrote this book last year. So in my mind this book, about a historian desperate to save those she loves including a sexy, stubborn, in-the-way ex-Green Beret, has been finished for eighteen months. Although it's available for  preorder , I'm anxious for it to meet the world.  To celebrate the preorder link and the upcoming publication, today I'm offering you an excerpt--the book's prologue. I hope you enjoy it! PROLOGUE “T he man bowed .” S arah M unro hiked her st raw bag higher on her shoulder and followed the officer down the Savannah Police Department’s hallway. He held a cell phone to his ear, and she yanked his arm. “And a woman died tonight.”  He nodded, but his deep frown, as well as his dismissive wave, told her he wasn’t too concerned about the murder. Or the fact ...

In less than ten days, we'll be celebrating one of my favorite holidays: Valentine’s Day. Because of the history behind this holiday, it even plays a part in my romantic suspense novel EVERY DEEP DESIRE since the prologue, where the heroine Juliet discovers her husband Rafe has supposedly abandoned her, happens on Valentine's Day.  I love this holiday, not because of the chocolate or cards or flowers, but because of the man himself. A courageous Bishop known as St. Valentine. Born during the reign of Claudius II, a Roman Emperor who hated and persecuted early Christians, St. Valentine was an early Bishop who married young couples in Christian ceremonies in flagrant violation of Claudius II’s edicts. Since Claudius II believed his soldiers fought better without wives or families, and he hated Christianity, he had St. Valentine arrested. Turns out St. Valentine had also been marrying couples right before they were martyred and had been aiding the Christian families...
