To Katie life was simple, she wanted; a little house in upper Boston, and four kids, fathered by her best friend, who she’s been infatuated with since she was eight. After a devastating family secret is exposed, all she wants now is to escape the media hype that follows her everywhere she turns. Leaving her family, friends, and Jason behind, she travels to places she’s only read about, to find a father she’s never known.
Jason is on a mission and he’s come half-way around the world to complete it. Despite his feelings for Katie, he won’t let her resistance detour him, even if it means she’ll never trust him again. As their world spirals out of control, their relationship will be tested and changed forever. If he can only keep them alive and out of harms way, he may have a chance to make everything right.

My new release 'Removal of the Guard' by J.C. Lee was released on Kindle this week. It's an erotic romance, with the object of desire being a chess grandmaster.
No is clearly not something the clearly not something the brilliant and stunning Ashton Drake is used to hearing...an is even less likely to accept.
When fresh out of college, Maya Caldwell, lands a job at her dream newspaper, she couldn't be more excited for her first day. Then she gets an assignment.
Interview a chess player...yeah, that's what she thought, too.
When the two meet, two very different worlds collide in a tangled web of raw, up-against-the-wall sex, absolute obsession and a complete disregard for the rules.
Is she willing to sacrifice so much of herself to be what he wants, or is what he wants, something entirely different than what he'd thought all along.

Here's the synopsis:
Kaitlin will soon find out that falling in love with a man she knows little about may be the last decision she will make.
Shunned by the locals since birth, eighteen-year-old Kaitlin’s life has been anything but simple. When she discovers the rumors that have been swirling around her small, southern town are true, she knows her life will never be the same. Heartbroken and confused, she accepts that her chances of finding love are fleeting. That is until Billy, her only childhood friend, asks her to marry him. The problem is she loves him like a brother and knows that rejecting his offer will seal her fate of being alone. But then she meets her new neighbor… Logan.
When a rogue agent reappears on the grid, Logan has one goal: capture him and see that he’s punished for the crimes he’s committed. The journey leads them to a small town and a stunning, blue-eyed angel… Kaitlin. Unfortunately, a relationship is not in his very specific, and short term itinerary.
Will Kaitlin learn to trust a man she knows very little about and allow herself to be loved? Will Logan be able to keep his mind focused on his potentially deadly mission, keep his brother away from the girl he’s falling for and figure out the missing link? After all, it is a matter of life and death, and it’s all about… time.

Had a great review from OnlineBookReviews about Clementine's Shadow:'...I enjoyed Clementine’s Shadow by Peggy Rothschild from cover to cover. Set in the desert town of Ardon, California, Clementine’s Shadow revolves around five character points-of-view to tell the story of a kidnapping... Rothschild has woven a very creative mystery. Suspenseful throughout, it’ll have you hanging on and not wanting to put the book down! And it has an ending you’ll never expect. I give it a four-out-of-four-star rating.'
Released July 30th!The 1st in my Sweet Redemption series: Playing With Fire.
Synopsis:
Janet Cooper has a small problem: dumping her unfaithful fiancé has only made him obsessed with her, turning him into a stalker continually begging for her forgiveness.
Janet soon realizes her troubles are just beginning, especially since her new work partner Eric is an irresistible hunk and she has promised herself a three-month hiatus from sex since her breakup.
Eric Anderson has a small problem: he has been hired to infiltrate Cooper Investment Inc. via its heir apparent Janet, but once he sets his eyes on the beauty, it's no longer just the business he wants to infiltrate.
As Janet's ex-fiancé gets more and more aggressive in his pursuit of her, she turns to Eric for strength and friendship, sending her ex into jealous rages.
The least of her problems becomes her fantasies of Eric and resisting her urges as the men in her life begin showing their true colors, and she sees that playing with fire could leave her scarred for life.

The hot spy and the sexy assassin - they are on the same side, but can they save their kingdom without killing each other?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
Launched 4 weeks ago, THE PRINCE'S MAN, already has eight reviews, all 5 star, and featured highly in Amazon's Hot New Release top 100 throughout that time.
Think James Bond meets Lord of the Rings. Award-winning fantasy, THE PRINCE'S MAN, is a sweeping tale of spies and deadly politics, inter-species mistrust and magic phobia, with a touch of romance.
Rustam Chalice, hedonist, dance tutor and spy, loves his life, never better than when he's bedding a gorgeous woman. So when the kingdom he serves is threatened from within, he leaps into action.
Only trouble is, the spy master, Prince Halnashead, teams him up with an untouchable aristocratic assassin who despises him.
And to make matters worse, she's the most beautiful woman in the Five Kingdoms.
Plunged into a desperate journey through the mountains, the mismatched pair struggle to survive deadly wildlife, the machinations of a spiteful god - and each other.
They must also keep alive a sickly elf they need as a political pawn. But when the elf reveals that Rustam has magic of his own, he is forced to question his identity, his sanity, and worse, his loyalty to his prince.
For in Tyr-en, all magic users are put to death.
My first ebook, Pawn of Innocence, is now on Amazon.comhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DT99BX6

My first book, Roxanne & Chuck Eat and . . . A Story of Food and Sex, is available on Amazon. I'm most interested in generating reviews on Goodreads and Amazon and am willing to send a free PDF to anyone for that purpose. The book will also be available Saturday, August 17th for free on Amazon—if you'd prefer to read it without a commitment:) Roxanne & Chuck Eat and . . . A Story of Food and Sex
For a free PDF, please send an email to roxandchuck@gmail.com. Subject: Review Copy
Here's the book description:
This is the first course in the ongoing Roxanne & Chuck series.
Are you ready for Gastro-Romantica, the simmering union of food, sex and relationships in a delicious and satisfying read? Then tuck into this rollicking, anything-goes story about two screenwriters collaborating on a script of decadent epicurean proportions. Roxanne and Chuck are tasked with reinterpreting a notorious French film about gluttony into a modern parable of our food-besotted age. Along the way, our intrepid scribes are forced to contend with the savory and not-so-savory world of turbulent, slow-cooked desire.
'The Dog Hunters' has just been published as a paperback, which was very exciting. The process, through Createspace, was relatively painless aside from some glitches in reviewing the cover artwork, and living in New Zealand meant having to wait ages for the proof copies to come through. But there's no doubt that to have real pages in your hand is much more emotionally satisfying than seeing it in digital form. Plus, as an Art Director, it is good to have control of the typography. I even got to play a small typographical joke in setting it in 'Baskerville'. (Gelert, the main dog in the book is a wolfhound. Hound. Baskerville. It's a type thing.) Enough of this- here's the selling bit...'The Dog Hunters'. Now available at https://www.createspace.com/4363910

My first novel: Betrayal, Malt Whisky & A Toilet Brush is just out. Please take a look!http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EKPFDOE
Think you know about betrayal?
Fuelled by Scotland’s finest Malt Whisky and the kindness of strangers, Jen must start again after she loses her long-term partner of thirteen years, her home of ten years and her income.
A struggling optimist, she finds ways to survive and ignore the open window, three flights up which offers an easy escape. These involve the use of a hot chilli pepper, a toilet brush, some hot Grecian sunshine and the offer of a supposedly ‘self-esteem boosting,’ opportunity of posing naked as an Artist’s model.
Glimpses of hope are found in bizarre opportunities. Having not been single since the last decade, is Jen equipped for dating? Should she text back straight away or wait until the morning? She would never have had sex on a first date before but have things changed?
Perhaps being single is easier, safer and preferable - Jen hasn't decided yet and she isn't at all sure she can trust enough for a fulfilling relationship.
“Can anyone ever know the person, lying beside them in bed?”
Do you?
Tragic yet humorous, this book is full of suspense and will keep you turning pages into the ‘wee hours’.

Great! Thanks for your interest. I hope you find it a satisfying read. I'm open to any constructive criticism you care to share.
This is John Reinhard Dizon, author of The Standard, just released in July 2013. Here's the blurb:In the not too distant future, a coalition of international groups is planning a return to the gold standard in resolving a global recession. A criminal network of drug cartels and financial speculators are plotting to convert their holdings into bullion before launching attacks against major gold depositories in three countries to give them a monopoly in the new market.
MI6 agent William Shanahan sees the mission to thwart the criminals as a chance to land an executive desk job in London. His job is to infiltrate the network with the aid of UDA gunman Jack Gawain, whose assignment is to distract and overcome the cartel’s top assassin, Enrique Chupacabra. Though challenged in overcoming a personal dislike for Gawain, Shanahan finds himself backing Gawain’s bold initiatives in creating chaos in Chupacabra’s inner circle.
Shanahan is conflicted by his inner need to maintain a higher moral standard than Gawain. Yet after a car bombing, an armed robbery and a strangulation, Shanahan realizes that his superiors’ tacit approval shows they will stop at nothing to derail the criminal enterprise. Shanahan follows Gawain’s lead and finds himself in direct contact with a representative of the Sardinian Mob as well as Chupacabra himself.
Shanahan and Gawain follow Chupacabra to Miami where Gawain enters a million-dollar domino game against Chupacabra. When another female member of Chupacabra’s entourage is murdered, he suspects that Gawain’s presence is more than a coincidence. He decides to play mind games with Gawain by recruiting Fianna Hesher, his gal pal, as the newest addition to his clique. Keeping her away from Gawain makes him realize that not only Chupacabra is onto him, but is using Fianna as a hostage.
MI6 learns that the cartel plans to detonate a ‘dirty bomb’ near Fort Knox to sabotage the US gold surplus, and sends the team in to abort the mission. Gawain escapes a double-cross by MI6, and Shanahan is nearly killed by a Chupacabra hit squad. Yet Shanahan manages to convince Gawain to take his place on a team destined for Iran to foil yet another attack: a missile strike on the gold bank in Zurich.
The morality theme resonates throughout the novel as Shanahan struggles with the complexity of legal and moral issues presented throughout the mission. There is also the psychological conflict of Shanahan’s need to prove himself worthy of a higher station, trying to overcome his working-class background through superior mental, physical and moral prowess. It gives place to the action/adventure main event pitting the UK and the USA against the criminal enterprise, trying to foil Operation Blackout lest it gains control over the global economy by destroying the Anglo-Americans’ financial infrastructure.
For action/adventure fans and suspense/thriller buffs, The Standard is a tale not to be forgotten.
