Desert Justice series combines suspense, romance.

-

I read across the spectrum but somehow in writing I gravitate often to romantic suspense. My love of danger and all things mysterious, purely in the literary way, started early.

As a child, my father’s career as a police officer may have fanned that interest, influencin­g me well into my adult years. Then, seeing my Dad with handcuffs and a handgun was normal.

While other children were told not to talk to strangers, I was told to get a good descriptio­n of the suspect and report home.

Suspense came easily — thank my Dad or Nancy Drew. Combine suspense with romance, add an exotic setting or two, and you’ve a recipe for a story.

As often as I can, I like to use places where I’ve travelled as the backdrop for deadly villains and intrepid heroes and heroines, who battle for their right to live or even love, in a place that neither or all may call home.

My most recent romantic suspense, is not one book but four. Desert Justice is the name of the series and it’s published by Harlequin. The Al-Nassar brothers have it all; power and wealth.

Their security agency provides investigat­ive and protective services to its clients. From Morocco to Wyoming they take each case to the edge and back.

Sheik’s Rule

Tragedy almost destroyed his family once. Sheik Emir Al-Nassar won’t let it happen again. But with lives on the line, a secret threatens them all.

Sheik’s Rescue

Passion burns as guns blaze and Jade and Zafir fight to protect a Moroccan royal. Will they solve the case before time runs out?

Son of the Sheik

Fear drives Sara across the Atlantic for the protection of a man she fears could ruin her once well-laid plans. But will Talib offer his help when he sees the child in her arms and the extent of her deception?

Sheik Defense

Tossed overboard, Ava can’t remember his name but she knows he’s the one she needs. Faisal, Al-Nassar has never forgotten Ava and he can’t believe that now she’s lost at sea and caught in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens both their lives.

Sheik’s Rule, Sheik’s Rescue, Son of the Sheik and Sheik Defense are available at most online book stores; Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc.
