Here’s the set-up:

Never get involved with your patients.

Police department psychologist Kira McGinnis lives by that rule. She has enough on her plate – caring for her five-year-old daughter and her troubled teen-age brother – without adding more complications. But now difficult, charming Detective Jake Donnelly is one of her patients. And he’s using his tough-guy routine to hide his feelings.

Jake says he’ll do anything to get back to active duty – but he’s not trying very hard. He doesn’t trust shrinks – with good reason – and he doesn’t want Kira to know what he’s thinking or feeling.

He’d like to get to know Kira better – outside the job. But that’s impossible, since he is her job.

Here’s the set-up:

When celebrated war correspondent Jack Rogan receives a phone call during a bloody battle in Afghanistan, he knows something is wrong; his father is dying. With his last breath, Rogan’s father makes a disturbing revelation that rocks his son to the core and leaves him pondering who he really is, and where he came from.  With his world turned upside down, Rogan soon finds himself irresistibly drawn into a desperate search to find his true identity, and turns to an old friend for help. On a dangerous journey of discovery that takes him around the globe and the remote wilderness of outback Australia, Rogan follows clues hidden in unexpected places to uncover the truth. Will Rogan succeed? Will the truth – if and when he finally finds it– crush him, or will lifting the curtain of uncertainty and doubt be liberating, and finally bring peace by showing him who he really is?Author’s Note The Kimberley Secret is a novella, and as such, it is of course much shorter than my novels, but without losing focus or scope. That was one of the reasons I have chosen this genre as the vehicle to explore certain aspects of Jack Rogan’s earlier life, and reveal a little more about his background and character.

Here’s the set-up:

It was a hell of a long shot….

CIA assassin Fortune Redding is about to undertake her most difficult mission ever—in Sinful, Louisiana. With a leak at the CIA and a price placed on her head by one of the world’s largest arms dealers, Fortune has to go off-grid, but she never expected to be this far out of her element. Posing as a former beauty queen turned librarian in a small bayou town seems worse than death to Fortune, but she’s determined to fly below the radar until her boss finds the leak and puts the arms dealer out of play. Unfortunately, she hasn’t even unpacked a suitcase before her newly inherited dog digs up a human bone in her backyard.

Thrust into the middle of a bayou murder mystery, Fortune teams up with a couple of seemingly sweet old ladies whose looks completely belie their hold on the little town. To top things off, the handsome local deputy is asking her too many questions. If she’s not careful, this investigation might blow her cover and get her killed. Armed with her considerable skills and a group of elderly ladies the locals dub The Geritol Mafia, Fortune has no choice but to solve the murder before it’s too late.

Here’s the set-up:

I thought we had escaped my life in the mob. I was wrong.

All I see is red.
Blood.
Pain.
Rage.
It consumes me.
The moment he took her, wrath invaded my soul.
I only have one purpose.
End him and take back what’s mine.
They trained me to be a killer.
Now they’ll see just what I’m capable of.
Love isn’t always clean, and wrath is the deadliest sin.

Dive into the world of the Albanian mob and what men are willing to do for the women they love…
