After fighting terrorists in the Middle East, Duke assumes this assignment will be a walk in the park.

In forced proximity, tempers and passions ignite, leaving Duke and Angel struggling to resist an irresistible attraction while eluding the stalker’s predatory game. When the stalker becomes the predator, the power of Delta Force brotherhood becomes a force to reckon with.

He doesn’t believe he deserves to be happy

Grieving widower, John Decker, commemorating the two-year anniversary of the day he lived and his wife died, is dragged back into life by a riptide and a bartender he can't get out of his thoughts. Plagued with survivor's guilt, he's reluctant to enter a new relationship, until he meets a feisty bartender with attitude and curves to go with it.

Trusting one man could release her from the chains of her past

Roxi Lanier was the typical young teen in the city, happy, full of life and bulletproof, until she became the victim of a violent crime. Her mother moved her to Wellfleet on Cape Cod, away from the scene of her misfortune to start over. Fourteen years later, she's still afraid to date and be intimate with a man, the scars of her past overriding the happiness she craves. Though she's an independent owner of a thriving beach bar, she has yet to find success in love. Tides change when she witnesses a suicidal widower diving headfirst into a riptide.

Decker and Roxi struggle to stay afloat through the wreckage of their pasts and the storms of the present to sail into a future together.

SECONDHAND ROMANCE
Brothers of Audubon Springs Series, #2
Genre:  Contemporary Romantic Comedy


Annie O'Malley's dream of owning a secondhand bookstore in tight-knit Audubon Springs is coming true. Still reeling from her parents' sudden deaths, she believes that signs or messages can be found within the pages of books. She loves her job and has made plenty of friends but longs for the acceptance only love and a family can provide.

Tony Iuliano is there to fix the wiring in her shop. He doesn't believe in fate, magic, or the power of a good book. All this combined with his sexy-as-sin presence and all-knowing attitude infuriates Annie. The quirky bookworm intrigues him enough to accept her bet to read a book from her shop. When he discovers a stack of fifty-year-old love letters in the book, he wants to leave the past alone, but seeing it as a sign, Annie challenges him to read the letters and search for the long-lost lovers or lose the bet.

While shaking the dust off several ill-fated romances and fighting their attraction at every turn, the pair soon become the town gossip daily special. If they can stop arguing long enough, they may just discover this particular sign was meant for them all along.

GUEST POST:

Aloha! Today I thought I might share some Hawaiian words with you. Of course everyone speaks English in the islands, but these words and phrases are used commonly in conversation as well.

  1. Aloha -- of course you probably already know this one. It means goodbye as well as hello, but did you know that it is also used as an expression of love and the meaning of a way of life? Many people in Hawaii live life with the Aloha Spirit.
  2. Mahalo — thank you. It also can be used to express gratitude in general.
  3. Loco – crazy. Okay, so loco isn’t actually a Hawaiian word, but it’s used so often here that you should know what it means.
  4. Haole – foreigner. It used to be a disrespectful term meaning white person, but the meaning has softened over time and can be used to mean foreigner in general.
  5.  Da Kine – doodad. Thingamabob. Whatchamacallit. Literally pidgin for “the kind”. A very useful word that can be used for almost anything.
  6. Shaka – hang loose. This is actually the hand sign that you’ll see so often in Hawaii it’s sometimes printed on road signs! It’s made by extending the pinkie and thumb and curling the other fingers inward.
  7. Kapu – forbidden. It can mean Keep out or refer to the old system of Hawaiian laws. Ignore the word kapu at your own risk.
  8. Lanai – porch. There are lanais all over Hawaii because the weather is so beautiful. 
  9. Ono – delicious. My friend Kim likes to use it to refer to guys!
  10. Pau Hana – after work. This is one of my favorites. There are many pau hana specials in the bars and restaurants on Honolulu.

That’s all for today. Now when you visit the islands won’t stick out like a sore thumb. Unless, of course, you decide to wear a fanny pack and cover your nose with blue zinc oxide, but I can’t help you with that. Aloha!

EXCERPT:
Emma would have looked adorable in the simple snug tank top and Bermuda shorts if it weren’t for the look of utter horror on her face.
“Have you lost your mind?” she screamed.
“Yes!” He turned off the saw, threw it on the ground, whipped off his protective goggles and tossed them as well. “Why do you ask?”
“You cut a massive hole in the back door!”
“This here is an example of our differences. You see a hole. I see a home improvement project. This is no ordinary square hole in a door, this is a doggie door.” He pushed on the large piece of cut wood until it fell and landed on the pantry floor inside with a loud clap.
“It’s about three times the size of a doggie door,” she stated flatly.
“Yeah, but I’m the dog. So Princess, what do you think?”
“I think you are insane.”
“I AM insane! You have MADE me insane! You threw all my stuff out front. You used my underwear for rags!”
“I couldn’t find anything else.”
“There is a basket full of rags in there.”
“None of them fit the occasion,” she said with a straight face.
“I must have lost my mind because that almost makes sense.” He gestured to the door. “Ladies first.” When she stared unmoving, he climbed through the cut door and opened it. “Just for the record, a caveman would have made you climb through.”
“Just for the record, I only changed the locks on the front door.”
