HEART OF STONE is here!!
It’s release day! HEART OF STONE is available now!
HEART OF STONE is book 5 in my “Bad Things” series (all of the books are stand-alone titles), and here’s the blurb for you:
She was created to tempt…and enchant.
Sabrina Lark is a muse who has the ability to inspire any man…to do absolutely anything. Unfortunately for Sabrina, the latest human to fall under her spell has turned out to have one very dark side. Now he’s obsessed with her, and she’s realized—too late—that she just inspired a serial killer. She truly has the worst luck in the world.
Desperate, Sabrina makes a deal with the devil in order to get some serious paranormal protection. Her protection comes in the oh-so-sexy form of Adam Cross, a man who is able to resist her magic…because Adam really is made of stone.
He’s a real beast on the outside…
Cursed centuries before, Adam is a gargoyle. Fierce, strong, and absolutely unstoppable, he is the guard who is placed at Sabrina’s side. He’s supposed to protect her from every danger…he is not supposed to find himself falling under the seductive Sabrina’s spell. But even a man with a heart of stone can find himself pushed too far…
Sabrina thinks she may have found the perfect lover, but Adam’s past is about to come back and bite them both…and he may not be the man she can trust, after all. If she can’t find a way to touch the man inside the beast, if she can’t make his stone heart burn for her, then they’ll be lost.

Heart of Stone – FAQs!
It’s ONE WEEK until the HEART OF STONE release!!! And, today, I thought I’d share some story FAQ’s with you…
1. Is HEART OF STONE a stand-alone read? It is! All of the “Bad Things” books are stand-alones. Each book features a different couple but certain secondary characters (like Luke!) appear in each book to tie things together.
2. Are gargoyles sexy? Heck, yeah!! I’ve wanted to write a gargoyle tale for a while, and I was super thrilled to start this book. I promise, Adam Cross is tough, dangerous, sexy, and very alpha.
3. How long is HEART OF STONE? 70,000 words. Lots of twists, turns, villains, and hot times are waiting for you.
4. Wait, wait, wait–the heroine is a muse? Didn’t a muse appear in ON THE PROWL? Yes! She did! Sabrina Lark (the HEART OF STONE heroine) first made her appearance in ON THE PROWL. She was a secondary character (one having a very unfortunate time), and this book is her chance to shine. Sharp readers may also remember that a gargoyle appeared in ON THE PROWL, too…
5. What about Leo? When is he getting a story? Leo, the “Lord of the Light”, will have his book out on April 25, 2017. But don’t worry–he gets lots of page time in HEART OF STONE…and you learn about some secrets that he has been keeping.
If you have any questions for me about HEART OF STONE, please ask!

One Day Until the Release of ABDUCTION
ABDUCTION, my latest Harlequin Intrigue, will be available in print tomorrow!! (Although I’ve already heard some readers have found copies on the shelves of their local Walmart stores.)
Once the town troublemaker, Sheriff Hayden Black became the teen hero who saved young Jillian West from a savage kidnapper. He never got over their brief affair. Now the ex-SEAL and the burned-out FBI agent have reunited in their Florida hometown and rediscovered their powerful attraction. But as they hunt down a long-forgotten killer, will they get a second chance at happiness? When a series of accidents begins to plague Jill, Hayden won’t let her fall victim again. There’s too much history between them…and too much desire.
(Quick note: Harlequin will be releasing the ebook version of ABDUCTION on 3/1/17.)

ABDUCTION – A Bit of Inspiration
In less than a week, the print version of my new Harlequin Intrigue, ABDUCTION, will be on store shelves. So I thought I might chat a little today about the inspiration for that story.
Have you ever heard of the FBI’s CARD Team? CARD stands for Child Abduction Rapid Deployment. CARD Teams stand at the ready to assist in child abduction cases. When I learned about this group of FBI agents, I knew immediately that I had to write a book that featured them. These agents handle some of the most harrowing, painful cases out there–and those cases must take a heavy toll on them.
The heroine of ABDUCTION, Jillian West, was abducted as a child, and it’s because of her own experience that she joined the FBI. Once I had Jill and her motivation down…the rest of the story seemed to write itself.
