(For the Crimson Point Protectors series.) Most likely to be the best kisser? ANSWER: Oooh, this is a toughie, because all my heroes are sexy and damn good at kissing. But I’m gonna have to go with Groz (Asher) on this one because he’s got so much…experience in that department. Experience he puts to good use as he turns up the heat on Mia in Sudden Impact.   Most tragic backstory? ANSWER: Everleigh, from Final Shot. Oh, man, poor Everleigh… She’s already been through so much in her life, and I put her and Grady through even more in their book. If any two characters ever deserved a happy ending, it’s these two.   Most likely to be attracted to a bad boy? ANSWER: Mia, from Sudden Impact. As a psychologist she likes to figure out what makes people tick, and Groz intrigues and infuriates her in equal measure. Even though she’s well aware of his reputation, once he sets his sights on her she can’t stop herself from falling under his spell. Most likely to make you wish you were their friend? ANSWER: Jaia, from Cornered. People might not notice her initially or even overlook her because she’s quiet…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Paige Tyler!   Writes: THE WOLF IS MINE: The hunky werewolves of the Dallas Special Wolf Alpha Team finally learn what’s going on with that cat who’s been hanging around the SWAT compound the past year or so! Connor Malone is a police officer working for the Dallas SWAT team. He also happens to be a werewolf, but that’s no big deal since the entire team is composed of werewolves. While searching for a missing teammate, Connor finds himself in serious trouble, but things take a turn into the strange and bizarre (which is saying something when you’re part of a pack of werewolves) when a beautiful witch, Kat Davenport, shows up to help. A witch who smells really familiar…kind of like the cat he’s been taking care for almost a year. Kat Davenport is a witch in trouble. A wicked warlock cursed her four years ago, trying to turn her into his familiar and hoping to use her as a source of greater power. She got…

My bestselling K-9 Alaska series happened by accident. When my editor asked me if I’d write a book featuring a hunky hero and a dog, I thought, “why not?” But it had to be different. If I was going to feature a K-9 in a key role, I wanted it to be one that wasn’t seen all the time. So, I started researching. What I discovered were Combat Tracker dogs, specially trained K-9s who can actually track back from the site of an explosion to the person who set the bomb. And I knew I had my story. Colter Hayes, a wounded and grieving ex-Marine, and his Combat Tracker dog Rebel, are hiding away from the world. I put them in the remote town of Desparre, Alaska, a place with a small population where people come to disappear. So, of course, that’s where I also sent my heroine, Kensie Morgan, in search of the sister who’s been missing since Kensie was a child. That first book, K-9 Defense, was meant to be a standalone story. But before I even finished writing it, I knew I wanted to write more. Alaska Mountain Rescue, the story of Kensie’s long lost sister Alanna…

1–What is the title of your latest release? SECRET ALASKAN HIDEAWAY 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? When Dr. McKenzie Taylor witnesses a car plunge off a bridge into a river and saves a mysterious man with no memory, can she shelter and help heal him until his memory returns?  And, when it’s apparent someone is trying to kill him, she realizes in addition to keeping his safe, she needs to protect her own, vulnerable heart. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I just love Alaska and have often wished I could live there.  I’ve been writing a lot of books set in Texas, and Alaska is about as far away in the United States that I could get. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Yes!  Not only is she brilliant, but compassionate.  She has a big heart and I like her. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Handsome, mysterious, and sexy.  Plus, he can cook! 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I researched remote Alaskan villages and that was fascinating. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done?…

1–What is the title of your latest release? I have an anthology of Christmas stories – novellas and a book – which came out on November 29. It’s a box set of previously published stories. My next new novel is coming out on the 13th of December. MIDNIGHT EMBRACE, book two of the Women of Midnight trilogy. The Women of Midnight is a mini-series inside the Midnight world. The Midnight world is made up of righteous dudes, mainly former SEALs. The Women of Midnight – first Felicity, then Hope, Emma, and Riley – make up the IT department of their highly successful security company, Alpha Security International. But the heart of ASI is quickly becoming the IT department, run by these super smart women. They provide intel and amazing ground support and advice on video games, though our super soldiers never beat them at any game. The women are loved by their partners and cherished by the company. 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Midnight Embrace: Scary things are happening in the financial markets. Inexplicable things Emma Holland is paid good money to understand. But she can’t. Then her co-worker at a big bank in San Francisco disappears….

It has been such a thrill to see the first two books in my K-9 Alaska series return as part of duo books (reprints with two books bundled together). First, K-9 Defense returned as part of Valiant Tracker (a duo with Elle James’s Six Minutes to Midnight), then Alaska Mountain Rescue returned as part of Tracking a Fugitive (with Nicole Helm’s Hunting a Killer). But now, it may be an even bigger thrill to see two of my own books bundled together! In December, the third and fourth K-9 Alaska series books, K-9 Cold Case and K-9 Hideout, will return as K-9: Tracking the Target. And I can’t wait to see heroes Jax Diallo and Tate Emory step back into the spotlight! In some ways, Jax and Tate are very different types of heroes and I love that they’re sharing a duo book. Jax, an FBI Victim Specialist, is a healer. His background is in psychology, not law enforcement, and he doesn’t carry a weapon or have the power to make arrests. He’s open and giving and a big contrast to the more secretive police officer Tate Emory, whose background is shrouded in mystery, even from the officers he works…

1–What is the title of your latest release? EXPOSED. Book 1 in the Circle of the Red Lily romantic suspense series. 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A distrustful Hollywood photographer and cop’s reluctant partnership threatens to expose the truth about a decades-old murder and the secret society that will do anything to stop them. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? The question I asked myself at the beginning of the story was what pictures could my heroine come across that would put her in mortal danger? I knew the pictures would be old, from maybe the 40s or 50s, and for me, that era of Hollywood has always been fascinating. From then, I knew there was only one place this story could happen: Hollywood. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely! She’s (almost) filterless which also makes her borderline hysterical in the humor department. Honest (perhaps too honest?), snappy, and quick-witted. That doesn’t mean she’s without fault, though. She also acts before she thinks things through, but she’s also a very loyal friend who will do anything to protect the people she cares about. 5–What are three…

Excerpt from SUNDOWN published by arrangement with Revell. Copyright © 2022 by Susan May Warren   Maybe it was instinct, maybe he spotted something – a glimmer out on the water – maybe it was simply years of training but as she opened her mouth, every muscle tightened. “Get down!” He launched himself at her, pushing her down and covering her body with his just as the glass wall shattered over them. The glass pelleted them, but he was already scooping her up and pulling her behind the sofa with him. Bullets chewed up her furniture, as a semiautomatic peppered the boat. “Get behind the island!” He practically pushed her along the wood floor. Her island, too, was taking damage. And he, without a weapon. She had curled into a ball behind the island, but a stray bullet could find her spine, her head. He put an arm around her and pulled her hard against himself, shielding her. “Just stay down while I think!” “We need to get off the boat!” Yes. Given. “You got a car?” “Yes. In the garage across the street.” “Keys?” “In the car. The garage is locked.” “C’mon.” The shots had decimated the furniture, her…

1–What is the title of your latest release? INTO THE STORM (Evidence: Under Fire #1) 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Armed only with paint pellets, a team of Navy SEALs HALO jump into a training exercise in a remote national park, not knowing that the fake op is about to become terrifyingly real. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? My husband is an archaeologist for the US Navy and has spent much of the last several years assessing whether or not Navy SEAL training exercises in the Pacific Northwest parks have the potential to damage archaeological and historic sites. It was his work in this area that sparked the idea for the story, but I wanted to set the training in Olympic National Park, not a state park because I love the temperate rainforest setting on the western edge of the park. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely. I worked for a decade as an archaeologist and as mentioned above am married to one. The heroine, Audrey Kendrick is an archaeologist who has a dream job (Park Archaeologist for Olympic National Park). I’d want to hang…
