BA Tortuga

Derek “Crash” Wheeler never really wanted to make detective. He was a good marine and a great beat cop, but now he has to deal with cases like the one that just landed in his lap. Multiple deaths. Probably a serial killer. And if that isn’t bad enough, now he has a crazy ex-profiler calling and texting, acting like he knows exactly what’s going on.

Matthew Herrera has more than one clue about Derek’s case. He worked on a serial murder case once that took everything away from him, and while the perpetrator went to jail, Matthew knows the case isn’t over. This murderer likes to play games, and he doesn’t work alone.

Racing against time, Derek and Matthew have to learn to work together to solve this case, and they find they have a chemistry they can’t deny, even if it feels selfish to indulge. People are dying out there, and it will take all their skills to work out this puzzle before it’s too late, or before one of them becomes the next victim.

Y’ALL! I want to share! I’m in a wee collection of bonus chapters from a bunch of fellow authors!

Each of the bonus chapters feature family or found family from B.a. Tortuga , Beth Bolden , CF White, Charley Descoteaux, David C Dawson, Emy Calirel, Jacki James, JP Sayle, K Evan Coles, Rj Scott, Susan Scott Shelley & Chantal Mer (coauthors), Talia Carmichael, and Vicki Locey.

My bonus chapter is from the Leanin’ N series (all of which are on sale for 99¢!) and it’s a hint of what’s upcoming for the 6th book in the series, which a ton of readers have asked for! The Leanin’ N is an LGBTQI+-friendly, gay-run dude ranch outside of Aspen, and the series theme is bringing families together, so this fits right in.

Collection is only available for a limited time – May 28-31.

So, when I think hurt/comfort, I think about one of my top ten movies — Dead Again. I’ve loved it for years — the story of doomed lovers in the past, an amnesiac mute woman, a hard-boiled PI, tons of art and music and gorgeous black and white scenes. 

I won’t give too much away, but Emma Thompson was at her most luminous, and Kenneth Brannaugh still stuns me.

But it’s the whole idea that love can heal what’s broken that hooks me, every time. 

This month I’m happy to be sharing my love for h/c novels with a number of authors — to celebrate, Say Something is on sale for $.99 and my co-written novel with Jodi Payne, Wrecked, is on for $2.99!
