Release Day!

Today, at long last, Taking Care Of Business is available in trade paperback here in the United States! Megan Hart and I came up with the idea for this book while we stood in line for a party at the RT convention in Houston in 2007.

BTW – Megan and I are guest blogging over at Novel Thoughts today about music – there’s a contest too….

One conference, two friends, two men who know how to take care of business.

Blurb: After leaving the wrong man, Leah Griffin’s not ready to look for the right one. All she wants is to survive the conference she’s planning and spend some time with her best friend Kate Edwards. She’s not expecting the conference services manager to be so tall, dark and handsome…or so eager to please. It’s Brandon Long’s job to make Leah happy, but after a scorching interlude in her hotel room, neither can deny business has become pleasure.

Smart, driven and successful attorney, Katherine Edwards has spent her life making the right choices. Directly counter to those right choices, she’s involved in a long distance, secret love affair with a co-worker. Charles Dixon is a bad choice she can’t help but make รขโ‚ฌโ€œ over and over. A conference and a promotion bring Kate back to Pennsylvania and suddenly, Dix wants far more than a few nights in random hotel rooms. He wants something permanent and Katherine has to figure out if sometimes a wrong choice isn’t exactly what a woman needs.


And… shipping from Barnes and Noble and MBaM but not amazon who is listing the release date as late April instead of today (sigh) Cascadia Wolves: STANDOFF is also available in trade paperback!! Standoff is the last in the four book story arc (Enforcer, Tri Mates, Wolf Unbound, and Standoff) and resolves the Pellini group issue.

Blurb: Cade Warden has put his Pack first for most of his life and now Warren Pellini and his thugs threaten everything he holds dear. Into that life of intense focus and increasing loneliness walks the woman he’s been waiting for.

Grace Pellini isn’t just Cade’s mate, she’s the sister of his greatest enemy and she’s been putting herself in grave danger to gather information to aid the Nationally Allied Packs. Cade is everything she could have hoped for in a man even if he is overprotective and pushy at times.

Against the backdrop of their increasing passion and deepening bond, they race against time to find a key to stop Pellini’s biological weapon. And then the stakes rise again when Pellini calls an ancient Challenge. It’s up to Grace to stand by and let her mate risk everything for his people. And his life is in her hands.

The story of the wolves you met in these books will continue with October’s Trinity, which tells Jack’s story and moves us to the East coast and National Pack territory…

    Its been a rough week, now I’m confused.

    You’re NOT done w/Cascadia Wolves, right?

    I mean “standoff” is out, and you mentioned “Jacks” story….

    Please do NOT tell me this story line is ending…Please, Please don’t!

    Biting nails here!!!
