Happy Release Day! Thank you, FTLOMR for having me here
again. I’m happy to guest blog today to talk about my brand new military
romance which happens to be FREE today through Sunday!
Hello, I’m author of romaginative
fiction Donna Michaels, and I love military men…I mean, romance…military
romance! Okay, and men. So much so, I married one. My husband has been in the
National Guard for over thirty years, and full time for almost twenty. It was
only natural the military would spill into my writing.
Besides my husband, I’ve met many heroes over the years, all
ages, races, sexes, and do my best to honor them in my writing. As always, a
big thank you goes out to our troops. I’m honored to be a part of a wonderful
group of authors who, like me, write about these heroes.
Romance through the H’s—Hot, Humorous & Heartwarming are
what you’ll find in my novels and SHE DOES KNOW JACK has all three. It was
great to revisit my hero Capt. Jack ‘Dodger’ Anderson, a former Army Ranger who
provides security on the set of a reality TV show where his brother is the groom and receiving threats.
(Formerly released as Meet Your Mate, this book has been updated, heat level upped to
hot, with over 20k words added.)
Today is Release Day
for SHE DOES KNOW JACK and I’m happy to offer it for FREE the next three days.
Security specialist, Brielle Chapman reluctantly agrees to
help her uncle by going undercover as a contestant on the Meet Your Mate reality show. Having nearly failed on a similar
assignment, she needs to prove she still has a future in the business. But when
the brother of the groom turns out to
be Dodger, the only one-nighter she ever had—while in disguise from a prior
undercover case—her job becomes harder. Does he recognize her? And how can she
investigate with their sizzling attraction fogging her brain?
Former Army Ranger Capt. Jack ‘Dodger’ Anderson would rather
run naked through a minefield in the Afghan desert than participate in a
reality television show, but when his brother the groom begins to receive threats, Jack quickly becomes his sibling’s
shadow. As if the investigation isn’t baffling enough, he has to contend with
the addition of a beautiful and vaguely familiar new contestant.
But when deceits come to light, and the case is solved, can
he overcome the lies to meet his own mate?
Excerpt:
“You’re leaving. Now.”
“What?” She blinked.
Several times. “No. I’m not going anywhere.”
Or wasting precious time
thinking about their past encounter. It was high time she put the case first.
Concentrated on the threat and the culprit. Not Jack.
“Don’t you get it?” He
advanced toward her, backing her into a wall. Again. “Whoever’s been
threatening Matthew obviously wants you off the show.”
“Too bad.” She shrugged,
not at all worried, and just a bit peeved at herself. “And you should be
happy.”
His gaze narrowed into a
deep frown. “Happy? Why?”
“I’m obviously making
someone angry, and you know what happens to people when they get angry, don’t
you?”
Begrudging admiration
filled his eyes. “They make mistakes.”
“Exactly.” She nodded
with a smile. “And if we play our cards right, we’ll catch the offender in no
time.
“We?” He shook his head
and grasped her shoulders. “Oh, hell no. There is no we, Ms.
Bennett. This isn’t a game.”
“Yes—we,” she
corrected, lifting her chin. Heat seared her skin from under his grasp, but she
applauded herself for resisting the urge to press closer. “As I see it, I have
two choices, Mr. Anderson. I can
either cower and leave the show, or stand my ground. I’m much better at
standing.”
His gaze darkened to a
smoky blue before dropping to her mouth. Ah, heaven help her. Not that again.
Her heart did an impromptu fire drill—stopped, dropped, then rolled.
All thoughts of the
show, threats and suspects clouded as her body responded to Jack’s nearness.
That pressing-closer urge grew stronger. Much stronger. She only had to lean
forward and they’d be heart-to-heart, body-to-body.
Good parts to good
parts.
A second later, his
palms hit the wall on either side of her head. He did the pressing. His hot, hard, solid body pushed her into the
wall and warm breath washed over her as he let out a curse while lowering his
face towards hers…
“Jack! Jack, what room
are you in?” A deep voice penetrated her fuzzy head.
With lightening speed,
the sexy former Ranger jumped back and shook his head as if that would clear
it.
Good luck, buddy, she thought, drawing in a breath, trying to
remove her own cobwebs. Damn, that was close. Too close. Disappointment, mixed
with guilt, calmed her libido. She turned and headed for the bathroom without
glancing at the tempting man just as help arrived.
The walking wall
was first through the door. And according to Uncle Franco, her escort from last
night was also a former Ranger. She’d hazard a guess his whole team consisted
of former Rangers.
Needing a moment to
recover before facing said team and
her uncle’s men—who had orders to pretend she was a stranger—Brielle closed the
door and splashed water on her heated cheeks. Cold water. Very cold water.
“You’re an idiot,” she
mumbled into the towel. But it wasn’t her fault. That man was hot enough to
melt steel.
