Katie Mettner | Author-Reader Match: THEΒ SILENT SETUP

bloggoodreadsfacebook

Katie Mettner writes award-winning romance and romantic suspense, including the Harlequin Intrigue Secure One Series. Her newest release in the series, THE SILENT SETUP, features Eric Newman, a disabled veteran who quickly realizes that sometimes being the boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!

Katie Mettner lives in a little house in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. She loves her husband, three kids, and a miniature dachshund named Lilibet. When she isn’t telling romantic, suspenseful stories from behind her keyboard, she enjoys sitting on the shore of Lake Superior, baking for the family, and curling up with a shiny new book she’s been waiting for. She loves to decorate her prosthetic leg with the latest fashion, drinks Dr. Pepper like it’s going out of style, and prefers to read on her Kindle app so she always has a book with her. Even while asleep, she’s in pursuit of her next big idea.

My ideal reader match for my latest book, The Silent Setup, must love:

  • A disabled veteran looking to right what he thinks he did wrong
  • A strong heroine who will protect her family at all costs
  • Crimes committed and concealed then blamed on the innocent
  • A cast of disabled veterans and bodyguards looking for love as they serve, protect, and support their community
  • Off-the-charts chemistry between the hero and heroine
  • An edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go until the very end

What to expect if we're compatible:

If we’re compatible, you’ll find yourself heading to Harlequin.com to buy all the other books in the Secure One series so you can know everything there is to know about Mina and Roman, Cal and Marlise, and Mack and Charlotte. You may even want to go back and read all 55 of my backlist titles, but I understand we have to build trust between us first and that will take time. The best way to build trust is through communication, and I’m always available to do that on my Facebook author page or group. There, we’ll be able to talk about my characters, share copies of my books, and play fun getting-to-know-you games necessary to foster a compatible relationship.

THE SILENT SETUP by Katie Mettner

Secure One #4

He can only protect them

If he harnesses the lessons of his past

A special ops mission gone wrong has left Eric Newman deaf, grappling with PTSD and shouldering the burden of unresolved guilt. Nevertheless, he’s building a new career and a new sense of purpose as a security expert. Then Sadie Cook and her baby nephew come crashing into his life. Even before he knows that he’s falling for Sadie, he’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep her and the little boy safe. But painful memories keep invading, making him wonder if he's the right man to protect them…

From Harlequin Intrigue: Seek thrills. Solve crimes. Justice served.

About Katie Mettner

Katie Mettner

Katie Mettner wears the title of 'the only person to lose her leg after falling down the bunny hill' and loves decorating her prosthetic leg to fit the season. She lives in Northern Wisconsin with her own happily-ever-after and spends the day writing romantic stories with her sweet puppy by her side. Katie has an addiction to coffee and dachshunds and a lessening aversion to Pinterest — now that she’s quit trying to make the things she pins.
