Since my hero in BEYOND
DANGER, Beau Reese, is a mega rich playboy, a once-famous race car driver, I
thought it might be fun to write about a mega-wealthy party I got invited to a
few years back. Well, more than a few, considering it was a millennium party
celebrating the thousand year change in our calendar.
My husband and I wanted to do something really special for that night so I had
been looking at different trips, hotels, and cruises. We wanted to do something
we would never forget.
Fortunately, about that time, I ran into an author friend I hadn't seen in a
while. When I told her I was on a quest to find something memorable to do for
the millennium, she invited me to a weekend party at her parents' home in Aspen,
one of several they owned.
I knew they were worth billions of dollars, had actually been to their
incredible New York apartment, so I excitedly accepted.
It was a magical weekend, with everything paid for by the party givers except
our room--which cost a small fortune but was worth it! The party was poolside,
held around an indoor swimming pool since there was snow on the ground outside.
My author friend was a wonderful hostess, the band was fabulous, the decorations
spectacular, and the food amazing. Guests flew in on their private jets and came
to the event in gorgeous designer clothes.
For an author, it was more than just fun--it was a glimpse into a world I had
never seen.
It's the world Beau Reese lives in, or at least he has access. He's a little
more down to earth than the guests at the party, but he's classy and gorgeous
and he drives a Lamborghini. Hey, how much better does it get?
The bad news is, Beau is wanted for murder.
The good news is, Lady detective, Cassidy Jones, is determined to prove his
innocence.
I hope you enjoy BEYOND
DANGER and that you'll watch for BEYOND CONTROL, Josh Cain's
story, out in June. Till next time, all best wishes and happy reading, Kat

Beau is in for another surprise. It appears that Stewart has moved an entirely
different woman into the houseโฆ

sheโs of age. But those concerns take a sudden backseat when he finds Stewart
in a pool of blood on the floor of his studyโand Cassidy walks in to find Beau
with his hand on the murder weapon.
The shocks just keep coming. Someone was following Stewart, and Cassidy is
the detective hired to find out who and why. Now sheโll have to find his killer

wasnโt Cassidy. Determined to track down the truth, they form an uneasy
allianceโone that will bring them closer to each otherโcloser to danger and
beyondโฆ

For New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin, a career in
real estate led her down the road to romance.
Through real estate, Kat
found her own perfect match--her husband, Western author Larry Jay Martin.
"We were on opposing sides of a transaction--I represented the seller and
he represented the buyer," Kat recalls.
A short time after the two became
acquainted, Larry asked her to read an unpublished manuscript of an historical
western he'd written. Kat fell in love with both the book and the
author!
"It was quite a romantic story," she admits. "I'd still like to
see it get published." Then, after doing some editing for her future husband,
she thought she'd try her own hand at writing.
Kat moved on to become the
bestselling author of over fifty historical and contemporary romance novels. To
date, 15 million copies of her books are in print, and she's been published
around the globe, including Germany, Norway, Sweden, China, Korea, Bulgaria,
Russia, England, Estonia, Lithuania, South Africa, Italy, Poland, Thailand,
Portugal, Turkey, The Slovak Republic, Spain, Argentina, Estonia, Czech Republic
and Greece.
When she's not writing, Kat also enjoys skiing and traveling,
particularly to Europe. Currently, she's busy writing her next book.
This sounds like another great story! Thanks for the chance to win. (Nancy Reynolds 9:21am January 30, 2018)
My best turn of the century party would be to get away from the noise and to "reset" by jungle trekking and spending the night with a local hill tribe. But your party experience sounds glorious, and if I had to be in the midst of civilization, that would totally be the way to go. (G. Bisbjerg 10:09am January 30, 2018)

Mine would be a big party where money is no concern, so the best of everything, and on some tropical island and the guests dress up and we have a great band, dancing, drinks flowing and even some fun games. I admit though, I have always wanted to attend a party like the one you did just to get a glimpse into that world. Congrats on your new book, it sounds like a great read. Thanks for the chance.

I doubt that I'll ever be invited to a party like that one! My favorite parties are ones that aren't huge and where most everyone knows everyone else. (Glenda Martillotti 11:15pm January 31, 2018)
I have always wanted to be a part of role playing party, especially a murder mystery. So my turn of the century party would be just that. Just before midnight, the murderer would be revealed. It would even better if all the participants were friends and family.
