Lazy Hazy Summer Days

I’ve been very busy the last few weeks with getting ready for my new grandbaby and work on the new South Beach Security Colorado Cousins (Tentative title) romantic suspense spinoff. So even though we’ve had the unofficial start of summer and the beach is calling, I haven’t been able to go to the beach and hunker down for some reading. But hubby and I decided to play hooky and hit the beach on Monday. It was a lovely day, with a clear, cerulean sky, no humidity, and great breeze. I got to finish RANCHER IN HER BED by Joanna Rock. It’s one of the old DESIRE series and I loved it! The day was so lovely I had to snap a photo to share with you! This is a picture of the nearby fishing pier. It somehow survived Hurricane Sandy even though Sandy took everything else – boardwalk and buildings – along this part of the Jersey Shore. If you’ve read the AT THE SHORE series, I mention seeing this pier from the fictional town of Sea Kiss. If you haven’t read the series, what’s keeping you from grabbing these beach reads about three friends at a crossroads in their lives? ONE SUMMER NIGHT, the first book in the series is specially priced at 99 cents at https://amzn.to/3KH2xvI.

Exciting News about Danger in Dade

On Christmas Eve while we’re gathered around the table eating roast pork, stuffed calamari, or any of our other Christmas Eve feasts, I’ll also be celebrating the release of DANGER IN DADE, #4 in the South Beach Security K-9 Division spinoff. I’m so excited about this second chance at love romantic suspense. This story is action-packed with car and boat chases, but also emotionally uplifting and romantic as a soldier and a chef get a chance to make things right. I just got the great cover copy for it and the cover! Here are some teasers for you!

For this ex-marine and his K-9
Protecting this witness is a lethal second chance…

Protecting his ex-girlfriend wasn’t a challenge ex-marine Brett Madison expected when he became a South Beach Security K-9 operative. But Anita Reyes saw the killer’s face when she witnessed a murder. And staying only seconds ahead of the perpetrator has Brett and Anita following his determined dog Mango’s lead…and drawing all too close again. But with betrayal around every turn, survival may be the one chance Anita and Brett shouldn’t trust…

P.S.-The inspiration for the K-9 heroine for this book is my grand fur baby Lily, a pit bull mix. Here’s a picture of her!

Meet Teresa, Hardworking Stable Owner

She loves them with all her heart and would do anything to protect them and her staff including dealing with Matt Perez, the South Beach Security K-9 agent who’s mystifying, annoying, and incredibly sexy all at the same time! Matt and Teresa, together with Butter, a highly trained Belgian Malinois, will work to stop the threat to the stables from a former trainer who doesn’t want Teresa to testify against him in a doping investigation.
