The heroine for my new release
TRUE PERIL has a complex
personality, but no one can say sheβs a pushover.
Here are 5 things that make Eve a badass.
A Bostonian by birth, Veronica Forand regrettably lost her Boston
accent while moving from state to state and country to country. Cleveland
probably had the most profound effect on her ability to pronounce the "r" in the
word "park."
She does try to return now and then to visit family and eat
long neck clams and lobster. Summers on Cape Cod are also high on the priority
list.
Her experience in crime involves time as a court appointed attorney.
Eventually, she switched fields to where bigger crimes take place, corporate
tax. The allure of spending mornings in her pajamas homeschooling her children
and writing fascinating fiction caused her to change careers again. Now that the
kids are out of the house (in school), she writes romantic thrillers by day and
is the perfect wife and mother at night.
Her experience in romance is
limited to one man. Luckily, he's still finding ways to charm her by taking her
on vacations to the south of France, Fiji, and the Green Mountains when time is
short. Avid travelers, they love to roam with their kids across continents in
pursuit of skiing, scuba diving, and the perfect piece of chocolate.
She's
lived in London, Paris, Geneva, Washington D.C., and the accent destroying city
of Cleveland. She currently resides near Philadelphia.
She's this assassin's toughest assignment ever...
Socialite Trista
Patterson has turned her back on her life of privilege and dedicated herself to
helping others. Her mission to protect the worldβs children often takes her into
the bleak and violent underbelly of third world countries. When a kidnapping
attempt goes wrong, Trista quickly finds herself running for her life...and
married to a man she just met...as sheβs placed at the top of the Cartelβs most
wanted list.
Some days no good deed goes unpunished.
Dane
OβBrien has spent his life in the shadows. Once a lethal assassin he grew tired
of losing his soul with every hit, trading his gun and missions for a conference
table and office politics as an undercover operative for the CIA. But when
visiting his humanitarian sister turns deadly, Dane finds himself swearing to
protect her beautiful and passionate friend Trista no matter the cost...even if
it means stepping back into the world he swore never to return to. Although
falling for the tough-hearted Trista is easy, keeping her alive is hard.
