Victoria Sheffield finesses her way into a failing Florida Keys dolphin facility hoping to finally establish her own reputation, but a lifetime of scientific observation hasn’t prepared her for a suspicious, sexy homo sapien like undercover agent Jack Benton.
Yesterday’s Kindle Nation sponsor James W. Hall has proven time and again that the Florida Keys are a great setting for suspense. But if you have ever been there, you may know that they are just as great a backdrop for romance….
Here’s the set-up for Mary Stella’s All Keyed Up, 4.8 stars and just 99 Cents On Kindle
A man with a plan, a woman with a dream — two hearts on fire!
In this spirited, contemporary romance, undercover agent Jack Benton is on a mission to save his beloved aunt’s failing dolphin facility in the Florida Keys. He’s positive he can close a deal, until his sassy Aunt Ruby accepts the research proposal of world-renowned marine mammal scientist Dr. Vic Sheffield.
Now, Jack must cooperate with the project or break Ruby’s heart.
More than the Keys’ temperature heats up when Victoria Sheffield finesses her way into the facility under her famous father’s name, hoping to finally establish her own reputation. A lifetime of behavioral observation hasn’t prepared her for a suspicious, sexy homo-sapien like Jack.
She’ll need every point of her elevated I.Q. to out-wit this wily alpha male. He knows she’s hiding something and, in the meantime, more than his suspicions are aroused.
When dreams collide and passion storms, it’s no wonder everybody’s All Keyed Up!
A voracious book fan since first learning to read, I fell in love with romance novels while pursuing my B.A. degree in English decades ago.
A professional writer since someone first paid me to write radio commercials while I was still in college, I always dreamed of writing a book someday. Eventually, I realized that a book wouldn’t spring fully written from my brain so I’d better get cracking.
All Keyed Up, a humorous contemporary romance set at a dolphin facility in the Florida Keys with a determined researcher and a stubborn DEA agent, is my debut novel, originally published in print format a few years ago.
Key of Sea, published a year later, proves that an ex-trophy wife can create a new life for herself, find love again with a younger man, and successfully battle land crabs.
I updated both of my books prior to releasing them electronically. I’m hard at work on a new project, which will also be set in the Florida Keys – the beautiful, fun, slightly abnormal island chain that I call home.
