BLAME IT ON RIO
New, never-before-published full-length novel
First published February 3, 2023
Tall, Dark & Dangerous Series (Navy SEAL Team Ten) # 14
Romantic Comedy with Suspense Elements
78K words or 340 pages
Hero: Navy SEAL Rio Rosetti
Heroine: TV Star Casey Esparza
Tropes: Fake Boyfriend
Oh, No! Just One Bed!
Identical Cousins
When Rio Rosetti is approached by Casey Esparza in a grocery store parking lot, he realizes two things: the famous actress has mistaken Rio for his gay cousin Luc; and Rio’s got to keep up the pretense to protect his teammate Dave from getting his heart re-broken by Casey’s hot mess of a brother, Jon.
As a Navy SEAL, Rio’s days are filled with adventure and risk, but now, as Dave’s fake boyfriend, he’s facing a different challenge. His life is suddenly a rom-com movie with an added twist as Rio finds himself falling hard for Casey.
Casey Esparza’s acting career has been like a fairytale. Her iconic role in a cult science fiction TV show brought her fame, fortune, and millions of social media followers. Her personal life, however, is a different story—her brother Jon is a dumpster fire and her romantic life is grim. Her instant connection with her friend Dave’s easy-going new boyfriend Luc is a breath of fresh air.
Rio knows honesty means everything to Casey, and that for him to stay in her life—as Rio—he needs to end his masquerade very carefully. But when Jon’s unsavory past catches up to them and Casey’s in danger, Rio is ready to risk everything—even his future with her—to keep her safe.
The tall, dark, and dangerous Navy SEALs of Team Ten are back—with Suzanne Brockmann’s signature blend of love, laughter, and a hint of danger in Blame It on Rio.
Available NOW at Amazon, BN, Kobo and Google Play. Coming soon to Apple Books!

Hey, gang!
I was sure I was going to have to say "Ah, sorry hardcopy book-lovers, you'll have to wait a minute or two for the print paperback of RIO," but Amazon surprised me, and their paperback edition (a lovely 5 x 8 trade size book!) is available today and not Monday or Tuesday!
I was also going to say, "Hey, New England, this instant-frostbite weather's a great time to curl up safely inside with a new book," but temps are rising fast, so... RIO is a great beach read, too! (Blink and it'll be in the 50s and after -35 with wind chill, that's beach weather!!)
So... Happy Early Valentine's Day, dear readers! And yes, BLAME IT ON RIO truly is the final book in my long-running Tall, Dark & Dangerous series. I'll be going back to my Troubleshooters for the next few books. Recent writing note to myself: "Add more Jules." But until then, I think you're going to like getting to know Rio Rosetti a little better. (Writing his book was fun!)
As always, I'd love it if you share this to help get the word out about RIO! Thank you a bazillion! I hope you love Rio as much as I do!
Love,
Suz Brockmann
