BLURB:
His
sister's life is at stake, and despite his wealth and power, Sheik Emir
Al-Nassar feels helpless. At least heading his family's security agency
provides him with resources to track down her kidnappers. But when the ace
profiler he's sent turns out to be K. J.—Kate—Gelinsky, Emir is furious.
Finding the kidnappers' desert hideout is dangerous enough without the
distraction of a beautiful woman.
But K.J.
is unlike any woman he's ever known. Her fearlessness and incisive mind
inspires Emir's admiration. And her compassion breaches his guarded heart.
Still, rescuing his sister is a perilous mission. And allowing desire to cloud
his focus could endanger them all.

EXCERPT
Just looking at that hand confirmed every doubt he
had. It wasn’t just about customs,
she was female and because of that and so many other things, she was the wrong
person for the job.
“I’ll help you find your sister. You just need to trust me.”
“No!”
The word came out with the pent-up fury that had built since the fateful
call from Tara’s kidnappers and now the full impact of it sparked in his eyes
as his temple pounded and his fists clenched.
“No,” he said with less edge but with no room for
negotiation. He was wasting time,
had wasted time, first waiting and now in a senseless airport run. “I don’t care what you specialized
in. You’re a woman and because of
that you’re going home,” he said bluntly.
“I’ve wasted enough time.
I’ll speak to the pilot and we’ll get you out of here.”
“You’re not being fair.”
“I’m not being fair,” he repeated, emphasizing each
word. If she’d been a man he would
have had her by the collar up against the wall, his face in hers. But she wasn’t and that was the
problem. “You’re useless to
me. I’d have to watch out for both
you and me. That’s a
distraction. Look at you – you
couldn’t swing a punch or…”
One minute he was seething, glaring at her, and the
next he was flat on his back.
“You bloody flipped me,” he snarled, leaping to his
feet.

AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
The
Canadian prairies are my home and while the prairie landscape is blessed with
beautiful blue skies, it also has four seasons that come on full throttle –
especially winter and because of that I like to travel. Often on those trips, stories are
born.
In
2011 I won my city's writing award, and was the first romance writer to do so
since its inception. In 2013 my
romantic suspense was a semi-finalist in the Kindle Book Awards. Published in historic romance and
paranormal romance as well as romantic suspense, in February 2016, my first
novel was published by Harlequin Intrigue.
There’s
no lack of places to set a story as my imagination and the too long prairie
winters may find me seeking adventure.
The memories of those worlds both near and far, the words of a stranger,
the furtive look one man gives another, often become the catalyst for a suspenseful
story with a deadly villain and an intrepid hero and heroine who must battle
for their right to love or even their right to live.
When
not dreaming of other stories, I can be found scouting out a garage sale or
two, dusting off my roller blades or just thinking about the next adventure
that may be miles away or in my own backyard.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for having me.
ReplyDeleteI’m excited to be here and for this day to finally arrive – Sheik’s Rule published and sharing it with all of you. It seems forever ago and yesterday that I was dreaming of how Emir and Kate would get past their differences, how they would possibly stop the kidnappers on time, how… They’re a fiery couple but made for each other just like the Moroccan setting was made for their romance. Have you ever fallen in love with a setting, a place? I think I do with each book I write. But Morocco was different, I visited it on my honeymoon so it brought back great memories to “travel” back to today’s Morocco.
I’ll pop in and out through the day. I’m looking forward to any questions or comments – in fact I have the first cup of coffee ready to go!
I enjoyed having you here today.
