A New Santini is Up for Preorder

I know that many of you loved The Santinis and I had a lot of emails telling me they wanted MORE, MORE, AND MORE! And I said, no, after Joey and Papa, I was done.

Then a funny thing happened...

I was writing Touch Me and a Santini popped up. I hadn't even thought about the other branches of the Santini family tree, but Dante didn't care. He just barged into it and I now have at least five more books to write. I am sure there will be more to follow.

These will not be novellas like the others, but more than twice the size of the other books.

Santini Book 6
She was the last woman standing.
Madison Baker was born and bred to be a Marine. When a roadside bomb ends her first deployment—not to mention her career—she is left to pick up the pieces of what is left of her life. She’s returned to Oceanside to regroup and move on. It doesn’t mean she’s ready for a relationship, even if a particular Santini has different plans.
Love happens when you least expect it.
When he first met Madison back at the Academy, Dante Santini was sure the woman was put on the earth to irritate him. She’s prickly and mouthy. She always thinks she’s right. Worse—she almost always is. She hasn’t really changed over the years. One disagreement ends up with them lip locked and very nearly falling into bed, Dante discovers he might need to rethink his first impression.
When Madison is convinced she witnesses a murder, the only person who believes her is Dante. Together, they sift through the meager evidence, trying to unearth the secrets someone is trying to hide. Neither one of them expecting it would draw them closer—or that a killer is hell bent on making sure those secrets stay buried.

Hey, everyone! I have been in hibernation for the last few months as we get settled in our new home in Virginia. Life has definitely has changed but for the better. I do not regret our 20 years in the military. While I was not thrilled with living in Alabama, I was very happy for Les. He had a job he loved working at the AF International Officers School. He truly enjoyed the students he met over the last 2 years. But, we were ready for a new start. We met a lot of great people, expanded our horizons, and now...we get our time.

SEAL The Deal comes out on Friday 11/29/13

This will be a short post. I'm writing it from the SFO getting ready for a flight to Munich, then Genoa, Italy. We'll be going by ship to Brazil. Going from Winter in Italy to Summer in Rio. I'm going to stand on the deck of the ship and see if I can see the swirl of the water change...See if I can feel the change in the season. Do you think I will?

SEAL The Deal is the full-length novel expanded from the novella I submitted to Uniform Desires, with the lovely Delilah Devlin, Cat Johnson, Elle James, JM Madden and Melissa Schroeder. It is also
the first novel I have written that takes place almost entirely in Sonoma County. One of my critique partners, Kent Sorensen, a professional photographer, gave me the lush and beautiful vineyard pictures we are using in the trailer.   youtube: -http://youtu.be/KxsteiBlsQ0 ~~

The Fifth book in the series will be partially written on this cruise. I started my research for a hunky SEAL at the San Francisco Airport tonight. I already know where the bomb will be housed, and how the terrorists get on board. And for those that want to know, Fredo will finally win Mia's heart, although they won't be the primary romance. All the regulars will be there, Kyle and Christy, Armando and Gina, Cooper and Libby, and now Nick and Devon.

And for those of you who like audio, Accidental SEAL is now out on Audible and iTunes. Hope you enjoy my narrator's (JD Hart) Golden Voice like I do.

People often ask how we get our stories. Tonight I got a little inspiration from the SFO Airport Duty Free shop (and I smell like a whorehouse). Hope you can appreciate my enthusiasm.

Hope you'll join me on this next Navy SEAL journey. Here's the blurb:

Special Operator Nick Dunn gets the call he has been dreading since before his last deployment. His sister is in her final stages of cancer.  Nick only vaguely remembers Devon Brandeburg, his sister’s best friend, but boy has she grown up.

Devon has created a small financial fortune through her success in real estate. Her career is her main focus, but a closely guarded secret is her total lack of experience with men.


What starts as a deathbed promise turns out to be a hot affair neither one expected. Nick becomes Devon’s teacher in her journey to womanhood. As she comes alive in his arms, the student brings the teacher something he’s never allowed himself to want, and now knows he needs.
