Since we are in the Dog Days of Summer, now is the perfect time to read Men Under Fire, a standalone in the Grayce Walters romantic suspense series.
Hollie Thomas, the feisty, tattooed office assistant to Grayce Walters, has come a long way from living on the streets. Along with finding a job she loves, she’s found friends and safety. When her new life unravels, she faces dangers that dwarf her troubled past. Fighting to survive, she discovers that sometimes what you need the most might be found in the one person you failed to see coming.
Returning home from the war and struggling to find his way, Sergeant Nick Welby, and his bomb-sniffing golden lab, use their skill set in the last place he’d ever imagined—Seattle’s Waterfront. To protect the one woman who matters, Nick and his trusty canine partner will risk everything to rescue her and Seattle from disaster.
Embroiled in Grayce Walters’ most perilous case—a terrorist plot with the threat of deadly explosives—can Nick and Hollie work together to save themselves and each other before it’s too late?

June is Audiobook Appreciation Month
June is Audiobook Appreciation Month. Libraries, narrators, authors, publishers and readers celebrate the pleasures and perks of audiobooks all month long.
Several of my books are available in audio format. If you are new to audiobooks, here are three ways to start listening.
- Contact your local library for audiobook lending options. Audiobooks in all genres are available to borrow.
- Audible is one of the most popular audiobook distributors. Audible Escape is a subscription-based option that offers unlimited listening for a monthly fee. Whispersync is a feature that allows readers to switch from reading a book to listening. Once you’ve purchased the ebook, look for an option to add the audiobook for just a few more dollars.
- Download an audiobook app onto your tablet or phone. Portable devices make it easy and convenient to enjoy audiobooks. Just download the app for whichever service you use. Keep in mind there are several, including Audible and iTunes. Chirp and Authors Direct are two price-friendly apps to check out.

A Code of Honor now on audio
A Code of Honor, book 6 in my Regency romantic suspense series, the Code Breakers, is now available on audio. Narrated by Pearl Hewitt, the story becomes a whole new experience to enjoy!
If you are new to audiobooks, you can sign up for a free trial of Audible and select A Code of Honor as one of your free choices to get started.
Enter the emotional, suspenseful Regency world of USA Today best-selling author Jacki Delecki’s Code Breakers spy series. Undaunted by danger or scandal, these intrepid lords and ladies discover true love as they risk it all to save England from Napoleon’s treacherous designs.
Duty before desire…honor before truth.
Miss Abigail Lyon wants an education, not a husband. A respectable match would redeem her family’s besmirched reputation from her sister’s scandalous elopement, although surely none of the ton’s eligible bachelors count curiosity as a desirable trait in a wife. Abbie finds herself confronting an offer that may be too good to be true.
Jack Bonnington is a rake turned spy, recruited by the Crown to ferret out a traitor. To provide a cover for his clandestine mission, he must pursue the very brilliant and beautiful Miss Abigail. The ruse takes a dangerous turn when they discover their secret is at risk of being exposed. Is the heightened passion a pretense or a prelude to something more dangerous? Can a man bound by honor to his country and a woman ensnared by duty to her family accomplish an impossible mission that gives them the freedom to love and live as they choose?
Available on Audible and Amazon Audio.

June is Audiobook Month
Before we say goodbye to June, let’s take a moment to celebrate Audiobook Month. Audiobooks–known as “books on tape” back in the day–are the perfect solution for occasions where you need to multitask (such as driving or exercising) or when you need a diversion to pass time (such as travel delays or kids’ piano lessons). They are also a great option if you have vision problems or if reading text has become difficult.
If you aren’t already a fan of audiobooks, here are three reasons you should check them out.
1. Convenience. No more clunky CDs or tape cassettes to haul around! Technology now makes is possible to download audiobook apps to your tablet, iPod and smart phone so you can listen anywhere, on any device. Go from the car to the gym to the smoothie bar with nary an interruption!
2. Affordable. Digital audiobooks can run $20, $30, even upwards of $40 sometimes. If you know where to look and how to buy, you can save big bucks and find great deals. Here’s how to score audiobooks inexpensively:
- Borrow them from the library.
- Purchase a subscription service, such as Audible Escape. For $12.95 a month ($6.95/month for Audible and Kindle Unlimited members), you can listen non-stop to heartwarming, pulse-pounding romantic fiction.
- Check out the variety of audiobook distributors. Authors Direct, Nook, Kobo and Google Play all offer audiobooks nowadays. Cost varies and some are less expensive than others.
3. Portable. If you plan to do any traveling this summer, audiobooks are a must. You can download several titles, not just for yourself but for the entire family. Connect your device to the system in the car for road trips and then plug in your earphones for solo listening while the kids enjoy the hotel swimming pool!
If I’ve convinced you audiobooks are worthwhile, be sure to check out my Code Breakers Regency romantic suspense series. Most of the titles are available to download!
