The May 2019 Intrigues


"I love the suspense, romance, and the touch of spice that makes your heart flutter." ~Mary B.L.


CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

Together, can they find the Twilight Killer…
Before he finds them?


Special Agent Ethan Barrow’s father was the most brilliant FBI profiler of all time. Now he’s in a psychiatric ward, committed for the very crimes he cased. But new evidence leads Ethan straight to Detective Adaline Kinsella—the woman he had a past with ten years earlier. Addie can trust evidence…even if she can’t trust the emotions Ethan elicits. Can she now put the past aside to bring the real Twilight Killer to justice?

BE SURE TO ENTER THE RAFFLECOPTER GIVEAWAY BELOW FOR AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR!

ANGI: Favorite thing about your hero, Special Agent Ethan Barrow
AMANDAEthan is the kind of hero I love to write—a brooding loner with a past full of mistakes and deep, dark secrets. He’s good at his job, brilliant even. But he’s not above pushing boundaries and he won’t hesitate to put everything on the line to get at the truth no matter where that truth takes him. Plus, I like the way he dresses. Old school FBI.

ANGI: Favorite thing about your heroine, Detective Adaline Kinsella
AMANDA: Ambitious, driven and fearless, Addie is a force to be reckoned with. But what I admire most is her maturity. A willingness to set aside personal grievances to get at the truth. She’s dealing with a man who betrayed her, yet early on she makes the decision to put the past behind them for the sake of the case.

ANGI: Favorite scene in CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR
AMANDA: A lush alleyway deep in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina (one of my favorite places on earth). Addie comes face to face with a man who seems bent on resurrecting the Twilight Killer, taunting her with details about her mother’s murder. I wanted to create an evocative, atmospheric scene that would set the tone for the rest of the book:

She saw him then, a hooded man slipping along the top of the brick wall, crouched and almost hidden from her view by a silvery cascade of Spanish moss. Even after she spotted him, she wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her. His movements were so fluid and furtive he might have been nothing more than a figment of her imagination. Yet he was right there, hidden in plain sight, and she could have sworn the scent of magnolias emanated from his presence as he drew close.

ANGI: Favorite thing about writing
AMANDA: The glimmer-of-an-idea stage when anything is possible.


ANGI: Please share a little about the Twilight’s Children Series
AMANDA: Twenty-five years ago, the Twilight Killer preyed on young mothers he deemed unworthy, placing upon their cold lips a crimson magnolia petal. Twilight’s Children—the offspring left behind by his murderous rampage—are all grown up now and facing a nightmarish scenario.  Was the wrong man sent to prison?   

SMOKIES SPECIAL AGENT

She was on a mission to fix the past
And he was determined to help her…


For ten years, Remi Jordan has been hunting her twin sister’s kidnapper. When baiting a killer backfires, the FBI agent’s career and freedom are suddenly on the line. Joining forces with Smoky Mountains investigator Duncan McKenzie ups the ante, unleashing treacherous desire. Now, with another woman missing, Remi’s fighting a lot more than the ghosts of the past. Is she also ready to fight for her future?



SHOW OF FORCE

A former marine must help a Russian spy…

ANGI: Favorite thing about Adam McKenzie
LENA: Adam is just so NICE! Even though he’s definitely a big, strong, alpha guy capable of protecting the heroine, he’s so sweet to her in every way. And he always puts her needs before his. He gets seriously horribly hurt protecting her and he STILL keeps going, through terrible pain, to save her life. I just wanted to cry and hug him and apologize for everything he went through. Adam is one of those heroes who makes you sigh and smile. He’s a keeper, for sure.

ANGI: Favorite thing about Jody Ingram
LENA: She wears glasses, like me! Seriously. I almost never come across heroines in romance novels who wear glasses. As an author, I understand. It IS a pain to remember to mention them when it would make sense in real life to mention them and to remember that she has to wear them to see. But, I think it makes her more relatable. And I was thrilled that the art department put her in glasses on the cover. And they’re green, like her eyes, just like I wrote it. So cool and fun!

ANGI: Favorite thing about Smoky Mountains Ranger
LENA: A lot of my Tennessee books are set in the mountains with the hero and heroine on the run. This one has that, for sure. But it also goes into cities and suburbs and has tons of action. I really had fun with it and loved the variety of settings and situations in this story. And it’s so incredibly emotional. The backstory of the heroine and how it intersects with the mystery is so tragic. I wanted to hug her too. I totally cried writing this book. It’s one of my favorites that I’ve ever written.

ANGI: I know you live in Florida, did you travel to the Smoky Mountains for research?  
LENA: I absolutely love the Smoky Mountains. It’s one of my most favorite places to go on vacation. I’ve hiked up to Clingman’s Dome, driven through Cade’s Cove, walked all through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to see waterfalls and old historic buildings hidden throughout the park. Since I’m so familiar with the setting, I didn’t make an additional trip there for this book. But I did do a lot of internet searches to learn more about the National Park Service and the work the rangers do. I also emailed the NPS to ask about their communications in the park. I totally had to rewrite parts of my book after they gave me their reply! But I was proud that I was able to accurately portray how the communications work.

ANGI: Favorite scene in Smoky Mountains Ranger
LENA: This is so hard without giving away spoilers! But there is one scene in the story where the hero has found out some devastating information about the heroine’s past and some awful things that happened to her. It destroys him to know that someone who was supposed to care about her ended up hurting her so deeply. He’s so crushed that he gets drunk and writes down all the ways he wants to torture the person who hurt the heroine. He gets pretty creative! When the heroine discovers what he wrote, it’s a huge turning point in their relationship. It’s when she realizes he truly cares about her and that she has real worth to someone. Her past trauma has really done a number on her self-esteem. This scene is an incredibly emotional scene, as are many in this book. And, yes, I cried while writing it. But it was a good cry.

the October Intrigues

~Harlequin Intrigue is...
"24 for pacing—fast and dangerous and exciting. Justified for the composition of the understated yet intense hero we like to see in an Intrigue. Unknown for the kind of complex mystery/thriller plot that can lend itself to a solid crime story and romance."
~I'm so happy to bring you all six of the October releases. With a special feature on Barb Han who is graciously donating 1 autographed copy of KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS to a lucky Rafflecopter Winner.

Now he needs to keep his little family safe when they become a target…

Crisis: Cattle Barge
Preview  &  Order



ANGI:  Favorite thing about Wyatt Jackson
BARB: I fell in love with Wyatt immediately when his character first spoke to me. He’s had that magnetic combination of being almost too self-assured, honorable and yet still a bad boy. 

ANGI:  Favorite thing about Meg Anderson
BARB: I love her independence and how she fights for what she believes in. That she’s far from perfect but figuring it out as she goes along and doing the best she can with what she’s been handed in life (and it’s a lot).

ANGI:  Favorite thing about KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS
BARB: My favorite thing about this story is the dynamic between Meg and Wyatt as their relationship develops.

ANGI:  Where is KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS set?
BARB:  KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS is set in a fictional North Texas town.

ANGI:  Favorite scene in KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS
BARB:  Oh, great question! It’s really hard to pick just one. I’d have to say that toward the top of the list would be the restaurant scene (and then the parking lot scene right after). 

ROGUE GUNSLINGER
A deadly homecoming in Whitehorse, Montana.

Bestselling author TJ Clementine thought she’d be safe with her sisters during the holidays. She was wrong. Dead wrong. Now her “biggest fan” has followed TJ to Whitehorse, Montana, with visions of murder in mind. The only person who can help TJ is ruggedly handsome loner Silas Walker—if she can trust him. Because this mountain man knows just how to hunt deadly shadows…and win.
