Rekindled is Live!

I have so much to share with you this post! Okay, here goes...

First off, Rekindled is officially live on Amazon. It will appear in the near future on Barnes & Noble, Kobo and iBooks (Apple), and in paperback as well. Woot! I'm so excited for you to read Alex and Grace's story.

Secondly, I've bundled the first three books of the Titanium Security Series, for those of you who prefer box sets. This first set includes Ignited, Singed and Burned, for $5.99.
Thirdly, I've received the rights back to 4 of the 5 books in my Suspense Series, and have revised them. Some are already up for sale in both digital and paperback, and hopefully all of them will be available in both formats by next weekend.

Here are the gorgeous new covers and the scoop on the new editions:  

Book #1 , Out of Her League : has been heavily revised, and I'm offering it for $0.99 until the end of the month. It's basically still the same storyline, but stronger and tighter.

Book #2, Cover of Darkness: has not been changed at all, since my publisher still holds the rights and will continue to do so for several more years.
Book #3, No Turning Back: same story, only tighter.
Book #4, Relentless: ditto, although it's not expected to be up at retail sites until late next week.
Book #5, Absolution: my favorite book of the series! I've tightened it and tweaked a few things. I love the cover image of Luke with his distinguished head of gray-streaked hair, and Em wearing her long wig while she faces her brave battle with breast cancer.

I hope you love this new look for the Suspense Series as much as I do! I'll be holding a Facebook and Twitter party to celebrate the release of Rekindled in about 10 days, so stay tuned for more details!

Until then, happy reading.

Kaylea :)

Happy New Year!

The weasels started school again today, so I'm slipping back into my routine again. I never realize how much I love my routine until it's taken away from me, ha.

Rekindled (Titanium Security Series #5, Alex and Grace's story) is with my proofreader now, and it's still on track to release toward the end of January. In the meantime, I'm beginning a new project I hope all of you will be very excited about once I announce it :). I'm planning many new and wonderful stories for this year.

Here's to a shiny, fabulous 2014!

Kaylea :)

An Early Christmas Present: Rekindled!

Happy holidays to all of you out there who celebrate! Things are moving at warp speed here, as they seem to do every year at this time. I've finished with Rekindled (Titanium Security #5) and it's now with my editor.

As an early Christmas surprise, here's the fabulous cover and blurb for Rekindled ! Should release at the end of January. Isn't it fabulous? I love how the cover artist put all kinds of salt into Alex's hair. He is 51, after all.



He left her when she needed him most...
Four years ago, Dr. Grace Fallon lost everything that mattered in a terrorist attack she barely survived. Now she’s stronger than ever and in Pakistan with a UN-sanctioned team for the most important assignment of her career. She’s dedicated her life to eradicating the world of chemical weapons, and long ago accepted the inherent risks associated with her job. Until the man whose memory has haunted her for so long suddenly reappears and inadvertently makes her the target of one of the most dangerous terrorists on the planet. Forced to accept Alex’s protection, it’s impossible to deny the white-hot attraction still burning between them. And while she trusts him to guard her from this new threat, Grace must once again decide whether to risk her heart to the man who once shattered her entire world.
Now he’ll risk everything to win her back...
Four years ago, NSA agent Alex Rycroft left Grace because had no choice. But never again. Malik Hassani has escaped custody, he’s on the run, and has locked onto Grace as a means to target Alex. This time Alex will do whatever it takes to protect her—and convince her to give them another chance. Walking away from her nearly destroyed him and now that she’s back in his life, he can’t let her go. When the unthinkable happens and Grace’s life hangs in the balance, he’ll sacrifice everything to save her—including himself.  
Hope you all have a fabulous holiday season! I'll be taking a break from the keyboard until the New Year, but my muse will be plotting like mad in the meantime, getting ready to start my next project.

All the best to you and yours,
Kaylea :)

Big News and Contest!

Guess what? Dangerous Attraction just hit the New York Times list! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. Thank you so much to all my wonderful readers who helped put the box list there!

And in other great news, Extinguished is now live! Right now it's up everywhere but Kobo and iBooks, where it should appear shortly. You can find the buy links on my website.

I'm so excited for you all to read Blake and Jordyn's story. I had the pleasure of passing research questions to a former Marine Scout/Sniper for this one, so you know how much I enjoyed learning everything he told me. I hope you learn a thing or two about snipers that you didn't before.

She’s wanted him forever…
For years former Marine Jordyn Bridger has been in love with a man who refused to see her as anything but his best friend’s little sister. A mind-blowing kiss finally changed that, but then he disappeared from her life. Now he’s back, to recruit her for a job with his NSA-sanctioned Titanium Security team. They’re going after the terrorist responsible for the recent attacks on their team and Jordyn is eager to lend her skill set to the hunt. She’s determined to prove to Blake that she’s capable of holding her own—both in the bedroom and on the battlefield.
He’s never walking away again…
Former Marine Scout/Sniper Blake Ellis hid his true feelings for Jordyn for years out of respect for her and her family, but once he learns those feelings aren’t one-sided, he can’t keep his distance any longer. When a team tragedy thrusts Jordyn into the front line with him on a battlefield, Blake will do whatever it takes to protect her. She’s everything he ever wanted in a woman but he was too stubborn to see it. Now it might be too late for them. As they race to capture the terrorist they’re hunting, Blake and Jordyn find themselves fighting for their lives. If they want to make it out alive they must work together to defeat an unseen, powerful network that will stop at nothing until their entire team is dead.

Dangerous Attraction Hits the USA Today List!

Thank you so much to all my wonderful readers for making Dangerous Attraction #35 on the USA Today Bestseller List last week! It's been a heck of a ride, and I know all ten of us authors involved with the project have learned a ton about promotion and how much work it is.
The box set is still available, but for $4.99 rather than its release week special of $0.99. I hope you enjoy this unique set and find some new authors to fall in love with.

In other news, Extinguished should be out later this week! I'm so excited for you to read Blake's story. Woot! Stay tuned :).

Extinguished is Coming Soon

In just a few weeks Extinguished will be released into the wild! Book 4 of my Titanium Security Series features the team sniper, Blake Ellis. I had a lot of fun researching this one. Obviously I can't cram everything I learned into a 60,000 words romantic suspense book, but I hope you'll learn some interesting tidbits about snipers that you didn't know before.

I'm shooting (ha! Bad pun!) for a November 22nd release date, it just depends on when I get the files back from the formatter, and how long it will take for the various retail sites to put the book up.

Here's the final blurb!
