Beneath the Surface is #99cents for limited time! #kindle #nook

Excited to announce that Beneath the Surface is a daily pick for Bookbub's eBook deal of the day. It's only on sale for a limited time, so grab your copy today!




Beneath the Surface, the award winning story of an amputee who is fighting to stay independent and the cop who’s determined to protect her no matter what…

 
   Brooke Richards survived the earthquake that took her parents and most of her leg, but she needs time to regroup. A trip to Florida to visit her best friend Linda seems ideal. But the trip turns traumatic when Brooke witnesses Linda’s boat disintegrating in a fiery explosion.
   Police officer Garrett Ciavello believes the blast was intentionally set. When Brooke offers her expertise in underwater archeology, Garrett accepts her help with the investigation. But since his fiancée’s death years ago, Garrett has become overprotective, and as they are drawn to each other, Garrett realizes he will risk anything to keep Brooke safe.
   Brooke is fiercely independent. Garrett is fiercely protective. Will they heal each other’s wounds and find a killer…before it’s too late?
 
Excerpt:
            For the first time since the accident, Brooke forgot about her leg. Forgot about all she’d lost and focused on the way Garrett made her feel.
            She knew she needed to stop him. She should find a way to resist the temptation to be with him. But for a few minutes, she could enjoy the taste of him, the feel of him, couldn’t she?
            He dropped his hands to her waist and softened the kiss before trailing a line of kisses down her neck. A weak cry slipped from her mouth. “Garrett,” she whispered.
            She should stop this now before it got any more intense.
            He lifted her chin and forced her to meet his brown eyes, smoky with desire. Heat spiraled to her middle and she caught a whiff of his sawdust scent.
            “I…I can walk you back to your own room before I head to mine.” His voice broke as he whispered.
            She swallowed hard. She couldn’t do this right now with him. Too many obstacles stood in their way. But as she looked in his somber eyes, she realized none of those complications were bigger than her need for Garrett.
            “Let’s go to your room,” she said, her voice shaking. She moved her hands inside his shirt and ran them over his tight abs and chest. Heat soared through her body at the feel of him. “Together…”

When Bad Guys Prey on Good Intentioned People #SixSunday


Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

In this snippet from my debut novel BENEATH THE SURFACE, an elderly man has pulled his boat next to Brooke’s, and asks if she’s seen his missing granddaughter. Hard to resist helping someone, isn’t it? But could it cost you your life?

   Brooke took the flyer, and her heart pinched at the photo of a happy, girl-next-door-like smile on the teenager’s face. The girl’s dark hair, straight white teeth and giant smile made her wish she could help the man. She stared at the photo and shook her head, then held the flyer out to him.

   “No, sorry. I haven’t seen her, or heard about it. I didn’t get a chance to watch the—”

Would You Be Able to Save a Life? #SixSunday


   Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.
   In this snippet from my debut romantic suspense, BENEATH THE SURFACE, Brooke has just witnessed her best friend’s boat explode. What would you do? How would you react?


  On shaking legs, she ran to the end of the pier and snatched the emergency life preserver ring. She headed to the edge of the pier amidst a shower of tiny red embers and whispered a heartfelt prayer.
   Please be alive.
   “Whoa. Let’s take a skiff.” Running footsteps vibrated the dock and she turned as a gray-bearded fisherman grabbed her elbow and pulled her away
from the ledge.

Journey to the Bottom of the Ocean #SixSunday


Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

Thanks for stopping by! Today, I'm sharing six sentences from my debut romantic suspense novel, BENEATH THE SURFACE. Dive into the ocean with Brooke, who is an amputee. She hasn't been scuba diving since she lost most of her leg two years ago. 
She's about to find out how much she's missed it.





Three minutes later, Brooke found herself surrounded by bubbles as she bled off some of the air in her buoyancy compensator and descended. She shut her eyes and the water caressed her skin. Its coolness wrapped around her and settled her nerves.
    She missed being in the water more than she’d realized. The fact that she couldn’t flutter kick— she’d end up going sideways—wasn’t a problem. She quickly discovered that pressing her thighs together and doing a butterfly kick worked just as well as fluttering and wasn’t nearly as awkward as she’d expected.

Pizza at Mom's Restaurant for Mother's Day #SixSunday


Happy Mother's Day!
Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I’d share a scene from Beneath the Surface, my debut romance, where Brooke and Garrett go to his mom’s pizzeria.

Hope this makes you hungry! (And guess what I told my family I want for Mother's Day dinner?)

Brooke glanced around the restaurant and spotted pizza in various forms—everything from standard pepperoni to what looked like macaroni and cheese on a pizza. As Garrett placed a soda in front of her, the only thing stronger than her hunger pangs was the heat of his hand when he touched her arm.

She blinked and caught her breath. Garrett epitomized masculinity. Everything he did—driving the Amigo, riding a motorcycle, building his own deck. Yet he couldn’t have looked sexier than he did right now as he carried two bowls of salad.

Six Sentence Sunday: Brooke's disability is exposed

It's my first time participating in this wonderful event! Please enjoy these six sentences from Beneath the Surface, my debut romantic suspense novel.





   Brooke glanced at the shore—the red, blue and yellow emergency lights flashing—and pictured the way her mother’s body looked as it was covered and carried through a similar scene. She forced the memory to the recesses of her mind, but she’d broken her concentration just long enough to lose her balance and felt herself falling.
   Gilly stepped beside her, catching her just in time.
   “Oh, holy shit, what is that?” the bald deputy asked as he pointed under the seat Brooke had just vacated.
   Brooke followed his gaze. “That’s my leg.”
