I have a brand new release, NOWHERE TO HIDE, from The Wild Rose Press.
The trouble with running away is that you take yourself with you. After police officer Colleen McDonald is injured in a case gone south and her partner dies, she leaves her job and friends in small town Oregon for a fresh start as a civilian in Orlando. When a deputy sheriff comes to her door investigating a possible missing person, she’s determined to get him out of her life by beating him at his own game.
Jeffrey Walters is missing—or is he? His stepdaughter insists he is. His aunt claims he’s simply out of town on business. His former business partner knows nothing. There’s a stranger living in his guesthouse.
To Deputy Sheriff Graham Harrigan, finding Jeffrey might be his ticket to a permanent slot in the Criminal Investigations Division. He’s determined to prove he’s worthy of the promotion despite an unearned reputation passed down by an unsavory training partner. The attractive woman living in Jeffrey’s guesthouse complicates matters. Their rivalry becomes a partnership that stretches the boundaries of a professional relationship.
In addition, I have a free short story, “Words” from Smashwords. This is the short story that launched my writing—and you can read it for free.
What does it take for a man to say, “I love you” out loud? Certainly the woman he loves can tell from his actions. And if she can tell, why must he initiate those words? Words explores new love first from his point of view, then hers. A sensual read, guaranteed to make you seek out that special someone in your life.
Another one of my Short Stories, “Coping Mechanisms” is available at both Smashwords and the Kindle Store. Some of you may know Randy and Sarah from my other books, FINDING SARAH and HIDDEN FIRE. They’re back in “Coping Mechanisms”
Randy may have his cop partner, but Sarah is his new life partner, and she’s aware that any new relationship has its little hiccups. But what works with a fellow cop isn’t going to cut it with Sarah. Determined to dismantle his fortress, brick by brick if she has to, she confronts him after a difficult case has him retreating. Follow these newlyweds as their relationship moves onto the next level.
