Former DEA agent Leland Hollis wasn't planning on being a hero.
Recovering from an injury sustained during a drug bust gone wrong and with more
personal demons than he cares to admit, he wants nothing more than peace and a
chance to rebuild his life. But when Anna Mercado's crazy ex shows up wielding
a baseball bat, Leland can't ignore his instinct to help. And after her son is
kidnapped, Leland agrees to deliver the ransom into dangerous territory south
of the border.
Anna has no choice but to go with this stranger she's just met if
she ever wants to see her son again. But getting the boy out of a violent
cartel region involves risking everything. And for that Leland will have to
convince Anna to do the scariest thing of all … open her heart and trust him.

EXCERPT
This
is a scene from the first chapter of HARD
TARGET where the heroine, Anna Mercado, overhears her estranged husband,
Max, talking on the phone.
“Take Zach
from the party before the guests arrive. We won’t dump her body until the
designated time. It’s all been arranged.”
Anna stopped in the doorway of
the Presidential suite, her husband’s words abruptly penetrating her
lust-fogged brain.
“No, I’m not worried. Haven’t you
heard? Mexico is the land of vicious drug cartels and random violence. My wife
will be a sad statistic.”
Was
this a dream?
She felt the cold Italian marble
beneath her bare feet and recognized Max’s voice in the adjoining room, but she
didn’t wake up. The seductive words he had whispered moments earlier on the
beach still resonated in her head.
The
only thing I want you to wrap yourself around is me.
She’d come up immediately when
Julia had volunteered to get Zach and the cousins’ meals from the hotel’s beach
grill. But on the way to the room she’d been calling herself all kinds of a
fool. She and Max were on the verge of officially separating even though they’d
been living apart for several months. The counseling wasn’t working. Having sex
was a terrible idea. Even comfort sex.
Yet he’d been so attentive, so
different on this trip. So anxious to please her, while keeping his temper
completely in check. Last week she’d been considering which attorney to use in
a divorce. Now she was just grateful she was standing here overhearing his
phone conversation in the next room.
Her thoughts raced and her blood
chilled, but her feet were glued to the imported floor. She stared across the
opulent suite’s living room to the open balcony doors. The heir to the Mercado
Tequila fortune settled for nothing less than the finest, even when planning
his family’s demise.
An ocean breeze blew through the
room, ruffling her hair like a playful lover. The Gulf of Mexico was just as
blue as it had been ten minutes ago when Max kissed her on the sand, yet
everything had changed. She was listening to her husband order their son’s
kidnapping and her murder.

AUTHOR BIO:
I didn’t grow up burning to be a writer. As a child I wasn’t
even much of a reader until fourth grade. That’s when I was stuck at home with
the flu and my big sister read THE BLACK STALLION aloud to me. For hours I was
enthralled—shipwrecked in a foreign land and riding an untamed horse across the
hot desert sand. Then tragedy struck. My sister lost her voice. (I think she
caught my flu.) But I couldn’t wait to hear what happened to Alec Ramsey—so I picked
up that book, finished reading it by myself, and went in search of more
adventures at the local library. Today I live in Dallas with my husband, our
two children, and a shockingly-spoiled Boston terrier.
My next novel will be published with Avon Impulse
in November 2013. HARD TARGET is the first installment in a three-book romantic
suspense series titled ELITE OPS, featuring sexy ex-military men…and the women
who rescue their hearts. For excerpts, book trailers, and more—visit my website
