New Release Spotlight on Seeing Red by Sandra Brown

Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Pub. Date: August 15th, 2017
Pages: 432

Genres: Contemporary Fiction / Mystery / Thriller / Romantic Suspense


#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sandra Brown delivers her trademark nonstop suspense and supercharged sexual tension in this thriller about tainted heroism, cold fury, and vengeance without mercy.



Kerra Bailey is a television journalist on the rise, and she's hot on the trail of a story guaranteed to skyrocket her career to even greater heights: an interview with the legendary Major Trapper. Twenty-five years ago, the Major emerged a hero from the bombing of the Pegasus Hotel in downtown Dallas when he was photographed leading a handful of survivors out of the collapsing building. The iconic picture transformed him into a beloved national icon, in constant demand for speeches and interviews--until he suddenly dropped out of the public eye, shunning all members of the media. However, Kerra is willing to use any means necessary to get to the Major--even if she has to wrangle an introduction from his estranged son, former ATF agent John Trapper.

Still seething over his break with both the ATF and his father, John Trapper wants no association with the hotel bombing or his hero father, and spurns the meddling reporters determined to drag them back into the limelight. Yet Kerra's sheer audacity and tantalizing hints that there's more to the story rouse Trapper's interest despite himself. And when her interview of a lifetime goes catastrophically awry--with unknown assailants targeting not only the Major, but also Kerra--Trapper realizes he needs her under wraps if he's going to track down the gunmen before they strike again . . . as well as discover, finally, who was responsible for the Pegasus bombing.

Kerra is wary of a man so charming one moment and dangerous the next, and she knows Trapper is withholding evidence collected during his ATF investigation into the bombing. But having no one else to trust and enemies lurking closer than they know, Kerra and Trapper join forces and risk their very lives to expose a sinuous network of lies and conspiracy running deep through Texas--and uncover who would want a national hero dead.

Spotlight on Roman Rescue by Michelle Gilliam + Giveaway!!


Cover Artist: Jonathon Laing
Publisher: Wee Bit Different Publishing
Pub. Date: April 29th, 2016
Pages: 250


When nineteen-year-old Maggie flies to Rome on a surprise visit to help her big brother, Paul, she leaves some wreckage behind. She and her mother are estranged, and Maggie even broke up with her boyfriend right before she boarded the plane. But she’s determined to rescue her usually-independent and tough brother, who has no idea what to do now that his pregnant Italian girlfriend has left him.

If Paul is surprised to see his sister arrive unannounced, his buddy and fellow Marine, Luke, is even more so. The only place Maggie can stay is with Luke and his wife, and he—polite but secretive—hadn’t expected guests.

But the biggest problem is that security-expert Luke wants to keep an eye on Maggie as she sets out to find Paul’s girlfriend.

It all seems so innocent at first—meet Paul’s ex, Eleana, and explain the baby’s importance to the family and how much they want to know the child—but things shift quickly: Eleana’s new boyfriend has possible Mafia ties, Luke’s past is riddled with ghosts, Maggie’s own past and loss cloud her judgment, and she also finds herself drawn more and more to Luke, ring on his finger or not.

Only when terrible violence erupts and her mother and ex-boyfriend arrive does Maggie understand what new wreckage she has created, and only then do the real rescues begin.


In this suspenseful debut with a firecracker romance, Michelle Gilliam introduces a sassy, naïve heroine who leads with her heart—but who just might manage to save them all.

Cover Reveal! The Fortune Teller by Gwendolyn Womack


 Release Date: June 6, 2017
Picador USA
eBook & Paperback; 320 Pages

Genre: Fiction/Romantic Suspense
 

FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE MEMORY PAINTER COMES A SWEEPING AND SUSPENSEFUL TALE OF ROMANCE, FATE, AND FORTUNE.
 

Semele Cohen appraises antiquities for an exclusive Manhattan auction house, specializing in deciphering ancient texts. And when she discovers a manuscript written in the time of Cleopatra, she knows it will be the find of her career. Its author tells the story of a priceless tarot deck, now lost to history, but as Semele delves further she realizes the manuscript is more than it seems. Both a memoir and a prophecy, it appears to be the work of a powerful seer, describing devastating wars and natural disasters in detail thousands of years before they occurred.

The more she reads, the more the manuscript begins to affect Semele’s life. But what happened to the cards? As the mystery of her connection to the manuscript deepens, Semele can’t shake the feeling that she’s being followed. Only one person can help her make sense of it all: her client, Theo Brossard. Yet Theo is arrogant and elusive, concealing secrets of his own, and there’s more to Semele’s desire to speak with him than she would like to admit. Can Semele even trust him?

The auction date is swiftly approaching, and someone wants to interfere—someone who knows the cards exist, and that the Brossard manuscript is tied to her. Semele realizes it’s up to her to stop them: the manuscript holds the key to a two-thousand-year-old secret, a secret someone will do anything to possess.
