I have been a fan of ABC’s Scandal from day one. Why? Because it is one
of the few books or films that combines swoon-worthy assassins and wine into a
lovely, entertaining cinematic package. I love books and films that incorporate
espionage and political intrigue into the plot, throw in one of my favorite
cities – Washington DC and a protagonist who is always working it… and
I am hooked.
The fact that the heroine of the television show, Olivia Pope is masterfully
and flawlessly portrayed by the gorgeous Kerry Washington is a boon. Most
television shows and films in this genre usually feature a man and completely
gloss over stuff like fierce hair, gorgeous clothes and the romance lives of
the characters – and that is why I love Scandal. While men obviously enjoy the show,
this is espionage and political intrigue by women and for women.
It’s exactly like the fiction genre, romantic suspense – you know, books that
usually feature a gorgeous Navy Seal, a tall dark and handsome FBI agent or
maybe a dreamy CIA operative… and the women that love them. There is usually
lots of action, danger and steamy love scenes….

With a father who was a former member of the Vietnam-era 82nd
Airborne, a cousin who was a Green Beret in the eighties and nineties and a
brother who is currently in law enforcement, is it any wonder that Magnolia
grew up to marry a US Marine and write romantic suspense?
Born and raised in North Carolina, Magnolia has always been an avid reader of
detective and espionage stories of all types beginning as a child with Nancy
Drew and continuing with Brad Thor and Vince Flynn.
Magnolia is a member of International Thriller Writers and Romance Writers of
America. She is represented by Holloway Literary.

While hunting down his target in Jamaica, Kael
Bradford fell hard for a beautiful, unsuspecting tourist. He thought the only
thing he needed to protect her from was him. Until the line between personal
and professional blurred in a cloud of deadly danger.
This is now
Rain Howard thought she’d met the perfect guy. But after two romantic
weeks in Jamaica, he disappeared. Two years of trying to forget him, and she’s
finally found the courage to quit her job and open a beignets and coffee café.
Then he appears out of the blue, wanting to pick up where they left off.
And there is only one truth
Kael never wanted to leave her, but
it wasn’t safe for him to stay. He had to put space between them before the bad
guys figured out there was someone he loved. Besides, if she discovered all his
secrets she wouldn’t want to be with him anyway.
Now, the coast is clear.
And he’s returned, finally, to reclaim what’s his.
Warning: Could inspire erotic new beignet-eating techniques
that’ll get you thrown out of the Café du Monde. Also includes: spanking, dirty
secrets, dirtier desires, political assassinations, and jealous best friends.
