I’m visiting with bestselling author Norah Wilson today, to talk about romantic suspense and my new VK Sykes book, Lethal Confessions. I’m also doing a book giveaway, so please join us on Norah’s blog.
I’ve got some winners from last week, too. The winner of Colleen Gleason’s gift card is ki pha, and the winner of Mia Marlowe’s trilogy is Laney4. Congrats, ladies! I’ll be in touch.
Readers, please join me on Thursday when contemporary romance author Katherine Garbera stops by!
Most of my readers know that I write contemporary romance with my husband as VK Sykes. We also love writing romantic suspense, and I’m thrilled to announce that our first book in this genre is now available. And for you fans of our sports romance series, The Philadelphia Patriots, you might be interested to note that Lethal Confessions is set against the backdrop of pro baseball.
Here’s the blurb:
The brutal murder of her twin sister drove Amy Robitaille into a career as a homicide detective for Palm Beach County. When a serial killer targets the wives of local baseball players, Amy has more than just a professional interest at stake—her only surviving sister fits the profile of the other victims. Amy’s hell-bent on catching the killer, not only to protect her sister but to destroy the demons haunting her since the death of her twin.
Baseball star and former soldier Luke Beckett has just retired from the game and is looking to move on with his life. When he’s asked to consult on the serial killer case for the local police, he finds the challenge he needs—despite the objections of lead detective Amy Robitaille. But Luke has no intention of backing away from the job and every intention of getting to know the intriguing detective.
Amy has no time to babysit a celebrity consultant while trying to catch a serial killer. But Luke is not the man she assumed him to be and he threatens to become a powerful distraction. That’s the last thing she needs, especially when the killer starts closing in on her family. But without Luke’s help, Amy stands to lose everything.
The book is available in both print and digital on Amazon.

Do you like romantic suspense and mystery? Have I got a deal for you! For a limited time, you can get ten fantastic, full-length novels by bestselling authors. The book bundle is called The Perfect 10, and it includes works by authors like Norah Wilson, Dianna Love, and Alexa Grace. Here are a few of the book blurbs to give you an idea of what’s included in this amazing bundle:
THE MERZETTI EFFECT by Amazon bestseller Norah Wilson
Dr. Delano Bowen has searched over a century for a cure for his vampirism, as well as a vaccine to protect the vulnerable. At last, he thinks he’s found it in Ainsley Crawford, a descendent of the Merzettis, a family hunted to virtual extinction by vampires who feared the anti-vampirism properties in their blood. Ainsley has no idea of the genetic gift she carries, and Delano wants to keep it that way. With the lives of innocents at stake, he cannot gamble on her cooperation. But when his arch enemy sets out to destroy him and the fruits of his research, Ainsley is in grave peril. Delano must draw her closer to protect her. When attraction flares, hot and urgent, Ainsley sees no reason to resist it, but Delano knows she could literally be the death of him.
DEADLY RELATIONS, by Amazon bestseller Alexa Grace
Detective Jennifer Brennan, still haunted by her abduction five years before, devotes her life to serve and protect others. So when three young women go missing and are found murdered on her watch, she vows to find the killer — or die trying.
A personal relationship with her partner, Detective Blake Stone, would be career suicide. But the connection Jennifer has with him is nothing short of electric. Working with Blake daily and denying her attraction is hard. But when he moves in to protect her, resisting him becomes pure torture.
As they fight temptation, two detectives race against time to find the killer before he strikes again. It is the most important case of their careers. It could be their last.

As you can tell from that luscious header, the theme of our blog hop is Heating Up The Holidays. And how are we going to heat up our holidays, you might ask? I’ll tell you–with sexy men!
It so happens that I have a holiday-themed historical romance that came out in October. The hero of His Mistletoe Bride, Lucas Stanton, the Earl of Merritt, is definitely one sexy dude. And it was easy to create him that way because I used a very inspiring template for his character–the drop-dead gorgeous actor, Henry Cavill.
Nice, eh? My heroine, Phoebe Linville, thinks so too. Phoebe isn’t very experienced when it comes to men. After all, she was raised in a small Quaker village in America. But when she lays eyes on Lucas for the first time she feels a tingle in places that she didn’t even know could tingle! Lucas certainly heats up her holidays, and if I ever ran into Henry Cavill while Christmas shopping…well, I better stop there or I’ll get in trouble with my husband.
To read an excerpt of His Mistletoe Bride and to get a peek at my hero, Lucas, visit my books page.
I also have another new book out with a hero who heats things up in a big way. Bigger Than Beckham is my latest sexy contemporary romance, co-written with my husband under the pen name of VK Sykes. We will neither confirm nor deny that a certain soccer player perhaps served as a wee bit of inspiration, but our hero, Tony Branch, is definitely his own man. And our fabulous cover artist certainly gave us a model to inspire any red-blooded woman, don’t you agree? Just click on the cover photo for a bigger image of hunky goodness.
Whew! I’m fanning myself here, but that cover is my idea of heating things up! Bigger Than Beckham will heat you up for the holidays, too. Trust me when I say that this is one steamy book. To read an excerpt from Bigger Than Beckham, book three in our Philadelphia Patriots series of sports romances, please check out our website. I think you’ll enjoy meeting the sexy Mr. Branch!
Readers, who would be your dream man for heating up the holidays? Would you like to take a sleigh ride with Henry Cavill, go ice skating with David Beckham, or is snuggling with your honey by the fireside more your speed? I’ll be giving away two prizes:
One person who comments will win a print copy of His Mistletoe Bride and a lovely Christmas ornament.
One person who comments will win a digital copy of Bigger Than Beckham and a $10 Amazon gift card.
