NAVY SEAL’S DEADLY SECRET
Runaway Ranch

He made it home from a war zone.
But danger remains in the mountains of Montana…

Navy SEAL Brett Morgan has come home to recover after a disastrous deployment, desperate to remember what happened. As he struggles to find his feet as a civilian, he intervenes in an armed robbery, saving the life of waitress Anna Larkin. But there’s more to Anna’s past than meets the eye and as that past circles dangerously closer, Brett will have to draw on all of his combat experience to keep them both alive.


With over a million books sold worldwide, Cindy Dees is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over sixty books. A 2-time RWA RITA winner and five-time RITA finalist, Cindy writes military romance and romantic suspense. A former U.S. Air Force pilot and part-time spy, she draws upon real-life experience to furomantiel her stories of love on the edge. When she's not heavily caffeinated and typing like a maniac, she can be found walking her Doberman Pinscher puppy named Waffles, reading, blogging, gardening, and traveling. She loves to chat with readers.

THE ROMANCE INTERVIEW
ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine gift or have you received it yet?
CINDY: Can I be hokey for a second? Okay. The hokey but true answer is that my daughter was born two days before Valentine’s, and I count her as the best gift ever. Beyond that, I love a quiet night at home with my hubby best of all.

ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine flower?
CINDY: a single pink rose. Tea rose, antique rose, cabbage rose—doesn’t matter. Just pink.

ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine/Love saying?
CINDY: In our house, we say, “I love you to the Moon and back.”

ANGI: Which Valentine film can you watch over and over without falling asleep?
CINDY: That would be a toss-up between Pride and Prejudice and Dirty Dancing. Depends on my mood.

ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine candy you’d share with friends?
CINDY: Ferraro Rocher chocolate truffles—the ones with the hazelnut in the middle that taste like Nutella on crack.

ANGI: What is your favorite Valentine tradition?

CINDY: We always stay in, order pizza, and watch a movie together. Pizza is my fave food ever, and hubby doesn’t want me to cook that night. (I do enjoy cooking a lot, just not on date nights.) We tend to watch action thrillers or geek flicks, so it’s not always the world’s most romantic movie. But we usually have running commentary on the film and my husband cracks me up.

UP NEXT for CINDY:
ALL OR NOTHING
Valkyrie Ops #2

He's on a rescue mission and she's the only one who can help get the job done

Trevor Westbrook is done waiting for bureaucrats to approve a rescue mission for his Reaper teammate. Trevor will do anything to get his brother in arms back, but he can't do it alone. Enter Anna Marlow, a newly minted female Navy SEAL with the know-how to get the job done.

Posing as fiancƩs attending a family wedding, Trevor and Anna head overseas. Anna is determined to prove that women can, indeed, serve in combat. But she wasn't prepared for their mutual attraction and Trevor's need to protect her at all costs...

PREVIOUSLY RELEASED by CINDY:
BEYOND THE LIMIT
Valkyrie Ops #1

Team Reaper has a new mission...
Train the first female SEALs

Navy SEAL Griffin Caldwell is not happy with his team's top-secret mission, training the first female SEALs. Griffin's determined to prove that his trainee Sherri Tate―a former beauty queen no less―doesn't have what it takes to join the world's most elite warrior's club. Until he sees what she's capable of, and even this hard-nosed SEAL has to admit she's tough as nails. What he won't admit to is the attraction sizzling between them.

Navy media officer Sherri Tate is more than just a pretty face. When she's given the opportunity to achieve her dream of becoming a SEAL, she won't let anything stand in her way, not even her arrogant trainer, who is too sexy for words.

When a dangerous mission lands Sherri and Griffin in the cross hairs of the world's most feared terrorist, it's going to take everything they have to come out with their lives―and hearts―intact.

THE SLEEPING KING
The Sleeping King is the first in an epic fantasy series, featuring the best of the genre: near immortal imperial overlords, a prophecy of a sleeping elven king who's said to be the savior of the races . . . and two young people who are set on a path to save the day.

Contemporary Series Romance: Suspense/Adventure


CONGRATULATIONS
In honor of the Romance Writers of America® national conference, we're featuring the different nominees for their highest published honor, THE RITA®, by category each day. We hope some of the authors will be able to join us, but remember they're getting ready for their big night July 28th. We'll celebrate the winners here on the 29th along with our celebration drawings from their gracious donations.
COOPER VENGEANCE
Paula Graves
Harlequin Intrigue
Allison Lyons, editor

It's not just the law of averages that convince Natalie Becker that her sister Carrie died at the hands of her playboy husband, Hamilton Gray. Newlywed Carrie had recently confided to Natalie that she thought Hamilton might be having an affair—he kept strange hours and didn't seem that interested in sex anymore. But proving murder, in a town where the Grays are even wealthier and more privileged a family than her own, may be the hardest thing Natalie's ever tried to do. The last complication she needs is a tall, stubborn ex-Navy mechanic named J.D. Cooper, who has his own crazy idea about who killed her sister—and his wife.

THE MAN FROM GOSSAMER RIDGE
Paula Graves
Harlequin Intrigue
Allison Lyons, editor

Gabe Cooper missed the chance to stop his sister-in-law's brutal murder by thirty inexcusable minutes. And even though the man responsible for Brenda Cooper's murder is dead, Gabe can't forgive himself for his mistake. So when his motherless niece Cissy leaves him an urgent message to visit her at college, Gabe drops everything to go. But he's not prepared for what his niece tells him. Cissy believes her mother's murder isn't solved at all. Worse, she's basing her beliefs solely on the theories of a pretty psychology instructor who looks more like a co-ed herself than any one he should take seriously. Alicia Solano believes the dead man had been only one of a pair of serial killers responsible for not only Brenda's death but dozens of murders across three southern states. And now there have been two new murders that fit the profile. There's still a killer out there, and he's found a new partner.

Harlequin Romantic Suspense
Wanda Ottewell, editor

Fresh on the heels of their disastrous date, Dr. Camille Lawson is none too pleased to find Dr. Wyatt Holladay darkening her doorstep. But a mystery ailment is claiming her patients - and just maybe the gorgeous doctor can help her get some answers. What should be a simple investigation of medical causes quickly reveals a very real threat. Someone is targeting Camille by killing her patients, one by one. 

Surrounded by suspects and unable to convince the authorities crimes are being committed, Wyatt is the only person who can keep the infuriating beauty safe. With everything on the line, he must protect her reputation, her life... and her heart. 

Stephanie is contributing to the RITA celebration give-away on July 29th.

SOLDIER'S LAST STAND
Cindy Dees
Harlequin Romantic Suspense
Patience Bloom, editor 

Navy Commander Brady Hathaway is done with women. Since H.O.T. Watch is pretty much a 24/7 job, that leaves no time for female entanglements. Then he's appointed Eve Dupont's handler. Tan, leggy and blonde, the lethal-looking civilian chosen to take down a terrorist cell scares the hell out of him. Can he keep Eve safe and resist her charms?  

This may be Eve's only shot to clear her name from any involvement in a terrorist cell and bring in a wanted assassin. But can the ultimate party girl do it? And can she convince the sexy Mr. I'm All Business Hathaway that there are times to move fast—and times to go very slowly….

But how could Daniela forgive Sean for betraying her when she needed him most? 

Sean had come to the remote Farallon Islands to study killer sharks. Now a real killer is on the loose, threatening the woman he’s never stopped loving. And this time, he knows he can’t walk away. Marooned together during a deadly storm, Sean vows to go to hell and back to save Daniela…and for the chance to begin again.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Kara Lennox
Harlequin Superromance
Johanna Raisanen, editor

As chief legal counsel for Project Justice, widow Raleigh Shinn doesn’t seem the type to accept bribes. Still, Griffin Benedict has an anonymous tip that points to her guilt. And if he wants to make the move to national news anchor, he needs a sensational story. 

But nothing is as it seems. Including the do-good lawyer. Underneath shapeless suits and oversize glasses hides an exceptional beauty. Now Griffin not only seeks an exclusive, he wants to uncover Raleigh’s secrets for himself. 

When lies turn to attempted murder, they must hunt down the truth together…to prove her innocence, protect an honest man and save both their lives.

TAKEN TO THE EDGE
Kara Lennox
Harlequin Superromance
Johanna Raisanen, editor 

Ford Hyatt thought he was done. He was all set to give up on himself and on Project Justice. Then Robyn Jasperson walks back into his life. His former bad-girl crush looks better than ever and needs his help getting a case overturned. Robyn’s got an ex-husband in jail, a murdered son and nowhere else to turn. 

Ford let her down before. But now he can find the truth, set matters straight and redeem himself. And time is running out. If he fails, she has everything to lose. If he wins, he has everything to gain, including Robyn’s heart.
