Upcoming project:
My second manuscript, Crossing the Line, has been sold to Genesis Press (Indigo Love Spectrum). This interracial, romantic suspense novel is filled with everything from sexual tension, to outwitting and outrunning a psychotic killer. Tentatively scheduled for release, April 2010.
Raina Wade just happens to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and she witnesses a horrific crime. Escaping the scene, unscathed, she heads to the nearest police station and reports the crime. To her surprise, her detailed description of the killer, Pierce, is well-known to the Pittsburgh P.D....problem is, no one has ever really seen him, until now. Keeping Raina safe is the PPD's priority. Raina is not unfamiliar with police. Her father is the former Chief of Police. Her father calls in a favor. He wants Raina escorted to him, in Seattle, WA. Nick Laprelli's superiors think he's just the detective for the job. Nick doesn't think so. The minute he mistakes Raina for a hooker in the police station, sparks fly... as does her temper, followed by her immediate dislike for him and vice versa. What ensues is a cross country trip, Nick and Raina dip and dodge to stay one-step ahead of the killer, who is hot on their trail. Crossing The Line has many twists and turns, as the characters encounter everything from narrow-minded bigotry, to Raina's directionally challenged detour, thus getting them lost along the way.
