Her latest is titled Impossible Ransom, and it sounds like a winner if you're looking for a spring read with plenty of action, adventure and a steamy romance.
The one man she hates is the
only one who can save her…
Working
as part of a yacht crew sounded like the perfect escape for senator’s daughter
Val Ferrell. Glorious Caribbean beaches, turquoise seas, and freedom from her
overbearing father? Heaven. But
when the ship is hijacked by violent men—who want to use Val to get to her
father—Val’s fantasy turns into a nightmare. Now her only hope is the ship’s
captain, who happens to be her ex-lover.
After disobeying an order, covert operative Nick O’Shea’s been assigned yacht captain duty. Working side-by-side with the tiny blonde who makes him crazy—and keeping his hands off her—was definitely punishment. But when Val’s life is endangered, Nick must choose between staying aboard and fighting to retake the boat or risking their lives by attempting an escape to an isolated Caribbean island. With the ransom deadline rapidly approaching, he’s running out of time...
Yes, definitely sounds interesting for a Spring Break read. Let's get an excerpt:
Nick recognized Val’s slim silhouette as she
walked toward him. He felt a wash of relief to see her unharmed, but couldn’t
shake the leftover anger caused by her lies. She stopped near the wheel and
handed him a paper plate holding a quartered sandwich. The scent of strawberry
shampoo sweetened the air.
He took the plate, and their fingers touched
for half an instant. Awareness raced through every cell in his body, and he
knew that despite the fact that she was unattainable and he wanted to think he
didn’t care, she still affected him like no woman ever had before. If he let
down his guard around her at all, his emotions could be in deep trouble.
She motioned toward the sandwich. “Kanon said
you could have this. Sorry it’s only one and only jelly.”
He stopped himself from lingering in thoughts
irrelevant to the moment. “Thanks. I appreciate your asking.” His stomach
rumbled with the promise of food. “I haven’t had anything solid to eat since a
stale bagel early yesterday.”
“How’s your head?” she asked. “When you
fell…I was worried.”
He touched the back of his skull and
smothered a wince. “I’ll be fine, it’s just a little bump. Are you okay?”
She pulled in a shaky breath. He tilted his
head to look closer. Was that a bruise forming on her cheek? His blood heated.
“Did one of them hit you?”
“I mouthed off, and Kanon didn’t like my
comments.” She raised a hand and rubbed the side of her chin. “I guess it was
stupid to needle him. I found out he gets mean when he’s mad.”
Anger boiled in Nick’s bloodstream, and he
fisted his free hand at his side. When he got hold of the man who’d hurt her,
he’d teach him not to attack defenseless women, make it clear that he’d kill
anyone who ever dared lay a hand on her again.
