I can honestly can I don't think I've ever been as busy as I was in 2013. This year I published two new novels,
Red Zone (Daniels Brothers #2)
After a case ended badly for Rebecca Carson, she’s losing her
mind sitting around her apartment waiting on her superiors to allow her to
return to work. Since she was a teenager, the only thing she’d ever wanted was
to join the FBI. Now that dream was in danger.
Gage Daniels has made a pretty good life for himself. A nice
house. A career he loves. As a professional football player, he’s used to
getting almost everything he’d ever want with just the snap of his fingers.
This includes women. A well-timed smile is usually all it takes to attract the
opposite sex, especially in Nashville.
When a stalker threatens Gage, the team owner calls an old
friend, Rebecca’s ex-partner Travis Hansen, to help protect his star
quarterback and find the person responsible. Hansen offers Rebecca the job, and
she jumps at the chance. It’s work, and it will get her out of her apartment.
How bad can it be?
Posing as Gage’s girlfriend, however, isn’t as easy as it seems.
The man is relentless. Rebecca must work to protect Gage while staving off his
advances. She’s there to do a job, nothing more. The last thing she wants is to
be another notch on a hotshot athlete’s belt.
As
the stalker continues to up the ante, Rebecca finds it harder and harder to
keep her distance from Nashville’s star quarterback. He isn’t what she expected
in one of the city’s most notorious playboys. Now all she has to do is keep him
safe until they can find his stalker, and hope she doesn’t lose her heart in
the process.
For
the last two months, Brianna has discovered something she never thought she
would again. Hope. After the horror of being Ian’s slave for ten months, a fate
she never imagined she’d escape, it feels as if she is living a dream. She has
freedom she hadn’t expected to have again, and she wakes up every morning not
fearing what the day will bring.
There
is also Stephan. The man who saved her from the daily torture she had to endure
at the hands of Ian and his friends. The same man who makes her heart race with
just the thought of him. Life is good.
Outside
forces are determined to conspire against them, however. When Brianna’s father
shows up on her doorstep, it sends her world spiraling out of control. He
brings with him new information about how Brianna ended up in Ian’s clutches,
but will it make a difference? Will Stephan be able to find a way to make Ian
pay for all he made Brianna suffer?
As
Brianna and Stephan try to find out the truth, their relationship is tested.
She is forced to face her past head on and deal with the ugly reality of what
happened to her. Will Stephan’s love be enough to see her through her newest
challenge, or will the fragile trust they’ve built come crumbling down around
them as the truth makes itself known.

My biggest regret of 2013 is that I didn't get a whole lot of reading done. With all the traveling, I spent most of my time writing and editing. With that said, I did manage to get some new books read this year.
My favorite…
Hotblooded by Erin Nicholas
Her
mama always said the women in their family were hotblooded…
And it’s
been causing Brooke Donovan trouble her whole life. But it wasn’t until her
mother took on the most powerful man in Honey Creek, Texas, that Brooke truly
realized the daughter of the town whore didn’t stand a chance. When she left,
it was supposed to be for good. But now, thanks to her late husband’s deal with
their hometown, she’s back in the last place on earth she wants to be.
Temporarily. As soon as her debts are paid off, she’s outta here. Until in
walks the one man who can make her rethink everything.
Dr. Jack
Silver fixes things. So, when he learns his uncle is responsible for Brooke
losing her husband, his sense of honor drives him across Texas to make amends.
Instead of a broken woman, though, he finds a gorgeous, feisty physician’s
assistant trying to survive in a town that wants her gone. She also has a mile-high
fence built out of pride—and a clinic that’s at risk of going belly up. She may
not want his money, but the clinic? He can fix that. He just never expects that
in setting Brooke back on her feet, he’ll be swept right off his own.

So what's next in 2014?
Right now I'm about 20 pages from finishing my re-edit of Hidden Threat. I'm hoping to have that finished within the next few days. After that, it will go to my publisher for polishing, and then reissue. If you've already purchased an ebook of Hidden Threat in the past, you should be able to download the updated version once it's available, which will also include the new cover.

I will also be releasing the 4th and final book in my Finding Anna Series, Trust.
Available March 20, 2014.
Brianna is lost for the fourth time in her life. Each time was
unexpected, and each changed the course of her future. The first life-altering
event occurred when her mother died, and she moved to Minnesota to live with
her father.
The second was when she was kidnapped at the age of seventeen
and forced to be a slave. She would never forget those ten months. Brianna
thought her life was over.
Everything changed again the day Stephan steamrolled into her
life and brought her home to live with him. She had no idea what to expect—what
life with her new Master would hold. That first month with Stephan was, in some
ways, more confusing than the prior ten. As a slave, she’d known her place.
With Stephan everything was new and different. He’d given her freedom and so
much more.
Five months after Stephan rescued her, Brianna once again finds
her life flipped upside down.
In
this fourth, and final, installment of Finding Anna, Brianna must unearth
strength she never knew she possessed. Stephan can no longer protect her from
the outside world. She must learn to trust herself, embrace who she is, and
discover who she wants to be. Only by facing her demons can Brianna find true
happiness and peace.
Available Fall 2014
