TRIAL BY FIRE Blazing your way from NAL Signet
August 5, 2008
Meet Lieutenant Howard “Six-Pack” Paxton— one of the handsome, hard-bodied firefighters of Station Five.
Four-alarm fires have nothing on him…
Howard may love being a firefighter and riding his Harley, but there’s nothing he values more than his bachelorhood. That is, until a feisty, curvaceous teacher named Kat McKenna falls into his arms at the scene of a fire—and melts the six-foot-six tower of bronze muscle…
But just as passion ignites between them—and they explore new heights of sexual ecstasy—a ruthless arsonist with a deadly secret and a thirst for vengeance becomes their worst nightmare…
Dear Readers,
Frequently, a new hero will stroll into my office, plop his rear into a chair next to me, prop his feet on my desk, and demand that I write his story. Right now. Sometimes he’s a charming devil, sometimes shy, and more often than not, commanding and a little dangerous. For many authors including myself this phenomena is a regular, if somewhat distracting, occurrence. Usually, I scold the hero-to-be to wait his turn. His story will come.
Imagine my surprise when one fine day in the spring of 2006, an entire team of the hottest firefighters I’d ever met stormed my office and with very little effort, took over my life. These guys were rowdy, exuberant, and charming by turns. Scolding them proved useless. They followed me everywhere, raided my fridge, left the toilet seats up, scattered newspapers and beer cans all over the living room, frightened my cat. My handsome, exasperating rogues were relentless, refused to wait their turn. Yeah, I caved.
And so, the firefighters of Station Five changed my career forever.
I hope you enjoy my sexy, debut romantic suspense series coming from Signet Eclipse! TRIAL BY FIRE, the first in the series centered on the A-shift firefighters of Station Five, will be released in August, 2008. In TRIAL BY FIRE, Lieutenant Howard “Six-Pack” Paxton’s lonely bachelorhood is rocked to the foundations by feisty, plus-sized teacher Kat McKenna. As passion ignites between them, a ruthless arsonist/murderer with a deadly secret and a thirst for vengeance becomes Howard’s worst nightmare, threatening to destroy the lieutenant and the woman he loves.
Join my boys as they take you along on a wild ride of passion and danger. Until then, browse my website and check back for book excerpts, interviews with the real-life heroes who risk their lives for you and me, blogging with me and the boys from Station Five, contests, appearances, and more!
All my best,
