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?

Celebrate Christmas in July with a 99¢ Regency Holiday Box Set
I remember how surprised I was when I learned that people in the Southern Hemisphere celebrate Christmas in summer. Because their seasons are the opposite of ours, December comes with sunshine, hot temperatures and not so much as a single snowflake.
Can you imagine?!
Christmas in July started as an activities at summer camps many years ago, and has evolved into a pop culture tradition. I can get on the bandwagon with a summertime yuletide celebration because it’s one of my favorite holidays and I’m (almost!) ready for eggnog, holly, sugar cookies, and shopping for gifts.
Here are three ways to indulge in some holiday magic without waiting for December 25th!
1. Organize a holiday movie marathon. Check the Hallmark Channel for their lineup of showtimes.
2. Spend an afternoon in the kitchen whipping up your favorite Christmas treats. Another option is serving up a plate of Watermelon Christmas trees.
3. Binge on a 99¢ box set of Regency holiday romantic suspense books. Get The Code Breakers Series: Holiday Romances ~ no gift wrap needed.

A Kiss in Disguise ~ Excerpt from 'A May Day Code for Love'
Sebastian struggled to remain focused when all he wanted was to kiss this woman. Forget the smugglers and his mission. “You’re right. But smugglers aren’t a group of men that I want you to come in contact with.”
Watching the men’s advance down the beach from his peripheral vision, he pressed his lips to the top of her head. “They are close.”
Her eyes were dewy when she finally lifted her head. Taken by surprise, Sebastian hesitated for a second until she slid her tongue along the crease of his lips. It was his undoing. Her calm and pragmatic response to the sudden appearance of the men had helped him remain in control until now. But her bright eyes, softened with need, pushed him right to the edge of sanity. He’d wanted to kiss her from the moment he had first seen her blushing in embarrassment in Rathbourne’s study.
He captured her soft lips in a deep, searing kiss. The keening sound of need coming from the back of her throat spurred him on for more wild kisses. He delved deep, sliding his tongue over hers. Blinding need built between them, erasing time and thought.
She intertwined her fingers in his hair as she opened to him. The urgency in the way she responded to him propelled his desire. Scorching white heat exploded between them. She moaned and tightened her hands in his hair to the point of pain.
Surprised and shaken by Ella’s enthusiastic response, he lost all sense of the purpose of this charade. He was drugged by passion, aroused with desperate need. Only years of working for the Crown helped him regain control of the situation.

First Kiss ~ Excerpt from ' A Code of Love'
His arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her on top of him. Being inebriated didn’t have any effect on his strength. Abbie was pressed against his hard body. “They killed me, didn’t they? I’m in heaven and my reward is to kiss you.”
Before she could protest, his lips touched hers. Gently. He sighed. “Pillow soft. Just as they look.” He traced his tongue along the border of her lips. Abbie was mesmerized by his tenderness and leaned closer, wanting to know how it felt to be kissed by the infamous Jack Bonnington. She had no experience with men, but she imagined when Jack Bonnington was awake, his kisses would be quite memorable.
“Open your mouth for me, sweetheart.”
His rough words sparked something in Abbie. She softened against him, wanting more of what he offered.
His tongue searched her mouth tasting and testing then he thrust his tongue in and out. Abbie wiggled against him, wanting something unknown. Her tongue touched his.
His breath quickened and his hands grabbed her bottom, pulling her against him, as he thrust his hardness against her. Then his breath roughened, his hands dropped, and he lay still.
She opened her eyes and looked down. He had passed out in the middle of their embrace. Her first kiss and the notorious man had passed out.

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?
