New Release - Secrets of the A-List

Hi all, I'm down to the last few blog posts on this site. I'm putting the final touches on the new one, but until it's ready, I'm updating here with any news that can't wait. Today, that includes my episode of Secrets of the A-List. Read an excerpt below along with details of my upcoming Facebook Live Chat. I want your questions!



New Release - Secrets of the A-List

Secrets of the A-List is an exciting multi-author serial that is different from most Harlequin series and all of my other books.



These are not complete novels, but rather episodes like a soap opera with many cliff-hanger endings and exciting plot twists. You'll want to read the episodes in numerical order to avoid spoilers. Mine is episode ten. Episode One, by Joss Woods, is free!!



Even though this series is more family drama than romance, I was drawn to the Presents-like setting in Santa Barbara and the luxury lifestyle of the Marshall family. If you are a fan of The Affair, Brothers & Sisters, Dirty Sexy Money, Billions, The Sopranos, Dynasty, and Revenge, you'll love this series. Here's a little more about it from Harlequin:



A billionaire on the verge of death. And his family? In free fall…



The wealthy Marshall family is untouchable. Or so they thought. But when a car accident puts patriarch Harrison in a coma, cracks appear in the family facade. It seems Harrison had an awful lot of secrets, and he’s not the only one. His wife, Mariella, and children, Luc, Rafe and Elana, not to mention nephew Gabe, all have things they’d rather keep hidden.



Enter a mysterious figure called the Fixer… Who is this person, and what is the Fixer’s connection with Harrison? And with those cracks becoming ever wider, what sins will be revealed?



Super Rich. Super Sexy. Super Addictive.



And here's my excerpt. I had to be very careful to choose something that wouldn't give away any spoilers. This excerpt has been witnessed and verified by the team at Harlequin. I hope it whets your appetite for more.



Episode Ten

The air wafting through the open window of Whispering Oaks carried a warm, dry mix of sage and chaparral. The weather today was particularly lovely, and some nurse or orderly had clearly thought it would be healthy to let some fresh air into Harrison’s room. Mariella found it as cloying as any hospital sickroom. The grounds she had initially judged restorative, with their tangle of colorful wildflowers across rockeries and walking paths that disappeared beneath shady trees, now struck her as too fussy and close. Claustrophobic.



She dragged her gaze back to the white-on-white room. Its attempt to look comfortable came off cold. The lack of contrast didn’t do her husband any favors, either. His tan was faded and his lips colorless. And he had yet to open his eyes.



Which wasn’t the only reason she found it difficult to face him, even lying still and unresponsive the way he was.



Had he somehow become smaller? Harrison had always dwarfed her, his six-foot height and robust frame making her feel safe and cosseted. Adored. His strength and dynamic personality had captured her from the first, giving her the confidence to hitch her future to his.



Now the light sheet covered a chest that seemed more barrel than muscle. His shoulders didn’t look like the ones that had always carried so much responsibility with such ease. His hair looked saltier, less peppered. His skin was pallid and waxy.



Maybe she simply saw him differently.



Maybe her parents had been right, and he wasn’t so much a driven entrepreneur as an opportunist. A gull, not an eagle.



The cold of the bed rail sank into her palms as she willed his eyes to open, wanting the flash of blue, some hint of the passion he used to have—for life, their future. Her.



She wanted to see the truth.



Who was this man?



For thirty-two years, she had thought him her soul mate. They had built a fortune, a name. A family. And yes, perhaps things had grown a little stale. They weren’t children any longer. They were mature adults with many demands on their time, but they had made a promise to each other. They were supposed to be a team.



She stared with hot, dry eyes, silently reminding him of that. He wasn’t the only one with ambitions. They had overcome challenges together. He had won her over with his desire to win with her.



That meant something, didn’t it? Didn’t they? When had she ceased to be enough? How many secrets did he even have?



Who was the Fixer?
