Waltz into Fire #NewRelease #romance #suspense #PNR #NewSeries #books #reading


Fallon and Zane must trust one another if they hope to win the desperate race against time with their souls on the line.

Waltz into Fire
What would you do if you heard fire whispering in your ear? Would you listen? What if that fire led you to your soul mate...only to discover he had two weeks left to live? Would you walk away or seize the time remaining? What if, during those few days, you learned the man you loved was linked to an evil entity? Do you trust your love?

Firefighter, Fallon Anderson, believes she’s gone mad. While she searches for a young boy in a blazing house, the fire speaks to her, guiding her to his location. Once she has him safely outside, the boy is whisked off to the hospital while a handsome paramedic onsite tends to her injuries. Though she’s sworn off men since her last boyfriend broke her heart, she might make an exception for the attractive medic.

Zane West’s days are numbered. Down to less than three weeks, he spends what time he has left saving lives. He’s impressed by the sexy firefighter carrying the kid from the burning home. Attraction flares, but with only a few days of his life remaining, what would be the point of starting a relationship? However, her injuries dictate otherwise, and when he patches up Fallon, sparks fly between them…literally.

Passion ignites regardless of the secrets they both struggle to keep hidden. And it’s those very secrets that hurl them into a paranormal battle. Fallon and Zane will have to trust one another with their deepest fears if they hope to win the desperate race against time where the prize on the line is their souls. Only together can they hope to survive.

The Boys are Back!

Yes!!!

Those hottie pararescuemen are back for another 1-night stand! The first story was Second Chance which told Colin's heartwrenching story.

Well, we are thrilled to anounce that Decadent Publishing has contracted the next 1NS story... In My Sights. This is a romantic suspense and tells Bobby's story. (Bobby is Colin's best friend in Second Chances and godfather to his little girl, Izzy.)

In My Sights
For now, here's the working blurb:

....Six months ago, Siobhan Cantrell’s world was changed forever by a sniper’s bullet. The incident transformed her from a secure confident woman to a recluse, afraid to leave her own home. When her friends urge her to re-enter the world of the living, they suggest Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand dating service. Nervous, she signs up and learns the company is renown for in-depth background checks and safe encounters. So, how dangerous could it be?
....Sergeant Bobby Martin has witnessed Madame Eve’s magic firsthand. His teammate found true love through her service. Still a skeptic but giving in to peer pressure, the Air Force Pararescueman signs himself up. When he meets Siobhan, his doubts flies out the window—unfortunately bullets start flying in them. Determined to protect her from a sniper that won’t give up, Bobby vows to keep her safe. As their chemistry ramps up, so does the sniper’s attempts.
....Can Bobby keep Siobhan alive, or will the killer catch them in his sights?

 In My Sights is packed with danger and romance.
We'll post the release date once it's set.

Release: Sins of the Mind


Debbie: Our latest story has released!

Laura: Yeah! It's a romantic suspense called Sins of the Mind from Decadent Publishing.

Debbie: It's loaded with murder and mayhem, a heroine who comes into her own, and a sexy hero.

Laura: Yep! Just the way we like it! LOL

Debbie: Since Sins of the Mind is set in Red River, Vermont, today we thought we'd give you a tour.

Laura: Ooo! This could be fun!

Debbie: It was the middle of winter during Ethan and Abby's story, so we’ll start with a picture of the woodshed that sits behind the lake cabin.

Laura: Oh gosh, Debbie! Go straight for the jugular, why don’t you? LOL You guys will find this cabin toward the very end of the story. Lots of action happens here. Like, life and death stuff. We can't show you the actual cabin because the family still wants it kept out of the media. But heck, who needs to see the house? That woodshed gives me the creeps.

Debbie: And here, I’ve dug up a couple of pictures of the lake where the infamous cabin is located.

Laura: Wow, those are gorgeous shots. Who would’ve thought that such horrible things could happen at a cabin overlooking such a truly at beautiful place?

Debbie: I know, right!


Laura: Hey wait…is that a jetski? Oh, man…can I test that puppy out??









Debbie: Below is a picture of part of the Red River that flows behind Ethan's house. We chose a summer picture because it’s such a beautiful place. Ethan gets to look at this every morning out his kitchen window.

Laura: Now, that’s what I’m talking about. Man, I could so see myself, looking at that every morning, coffee cup in hand. Ahhh. What a way to start the day!

Debbie: And along those same lines, here we have a picture of sunset in Red River.

Laura: Oh yeah. Now I’m feeling it. Let’s kick back and chill while we bask in that awesome red glow… Wait a minute. That’s a red sunset. Good gosh! Now, I’m thinking about blood and all those horrible things that happened back at the cabin!

Debbie: All right, chill woman! Here we go, back to winter, then. Here’s a picture of the snow covered Red River roads Ethan and the gang have to travel over.



Laura: Yeah…while they’re on their way to a crime scene where someone’s been murdered. This isn’t helping.


Debbie: Okay then… How about we end with a pic of Abby's house? Will that settle your nerves?

Laura: Well, yeah. It’s a nice house and all. But isn’t she the one who’s being stalked? Aren’t all the people she loves getting murdered? OMG! Is Ethan on the killer’s list?? Is Abby?

Debbie: Okay...so obviously, there's much more to Red River. This is just a taste. Maybe Laura and I will show you more when the next book in The Red River series comes out. Thanks for joining us on our mini tour.

Laura: Yes! It was great to roam around and see the places where all the action took place in the book. At least Debbie had the good taste not to show you a shot of the bed where Ethan and Abby, um, well you know.

Debbie: (shakes head) You can dress her up but you can’t take her out!

Laura: Well, how about we end with a blurb and excerpt for our readers?? Do we have one anywhere?

Debbie: Yes, we do. Right here….


BLURB:
....
Seven years ago, Abby Montgomery survived a brutal attack. Now she is ready to put her pain in the past and move on with her life. The problem is, one by one the men in her life are being viciously murdered.
....The detective assigned to the case, Ethan Parker, has demons of his own to hide. As the danger gets closer to Abby, so does Ethan. But can they get past his secrets before the killer gets to them? Sometimes the sins of the mind are more depraved than the sins of the heart.


EXCERPT:
....“Moment?” He raised his eyebrows, tried for a surprised expression. “We were having a moment? Where was I?”
....A husky laugh escaped Abby’s lips. She gave him a playful shove, but he caught her hand, his fingers encircling her delicate wrist. With great care, he bowed his head and pressed his lips to the center of her palm. Her sharp intake of air told him she liked it.
....“Is this the moment you were referring to?” He kissed her wrist. “Or this?” His mouth grazed along her skin, up the side of her neck to the tender point below her ear.
 ....“Mmm.” She tilted her head, offering him better access.
....He inhaled, reveled in her unique scent. A mixture of spicy vanilla and exotic flowers invaded his senses and sent the room slowly spinning. Primal lust roared through him, demanded he possess her in a rush of carnal passion.
 ....But Ethan resisted.
 ....Intent on enticing Abby into a wild, heated frenzy, he trailed the tip of his tongue along her throat. Her pulse hammered beneath his ardent attention, and he reveled in her response. His fingers slid over her supple skin. One hand sought the silky tresses adorning her head while the other coaxed her legs across his lap then slipped around her waist.
....He pulled back, stared into her lovely face. Eyelids fluttering, she sighed in his arms. When she looked at him, desire burned bright in her eyes. His heart stuttered at the sight, and hot need rushed to his groin.
 ....“Abby.” Her name rolled from his tongue in a mix of desperation and lust. A voracious hunger to taste every inch of her body washed over him. The urge to kiss the small of her back, to run his tongue along her skin, delving and dipping into her secret, sensitive places, all but overwhelmed him. “Tell me to stop. If you’re not ready, honey, tell me to stop right now and by all that’s holy, I will. But you need to know how much I want you right now.”

Guest interview with Colin and Bobby from Second Chance




Debbie: Hi, everyone. Today we have two special guests with us. Lieutenant Colin Beckett from Second Chance, and Tech Sergeant Bobby Martin. These two men are Air Force Pararescuemen, also known as PJ's, and we will be joining them at the gym on Hurlburt Field where they are stationed. Ready Laura?

Laura: Right here. Okay, so is this a gym or an interrogation room? I swear some of this stuff looks like torture devices.

Debbie: I'm pretty sure it's a torture room. That is my opinion of all gyms anyway.

Laura: LOL I would have to agree with that. But it sure was awful nice of Colin and Bobby to invite us here to interview them. Heeeyy...wait a minute. Why aren't you in workout clothes?

Debbie: Number one, there is no way in hell I would ever be caught dead in workout clothes in front of two of the hottest men I've ever seen. Number two, we are not working out with them. They are just finishing up their workout and had the time to speak with us.

Laura: Oh, God! And all these mirrors are awful! My thighs look huge in these workout clothes! And don't you dare say anything about my big butt!

Debbie: It’s not your butt I’m looking at, and why on earth did you wear that anyway?

Laura: Cause we were invited to a gym! I wanted to blend in!

Debbie: Oh, boy. Do you see all these half naked sweaty men in here? How well do you think you're blending in? And besides, just how were you planning to workout with that to-go cup of coffee in your hand?

Laura: Um. Well, I was going to drink it first, of course. Wait a minute...is that them?? Holy freaking cow! They’re gorgeous! Gimme your jacket. *strips Debbie's jacket off and ties it around waist*

Debbie: *clears throat* Um, yup, sure is. Told you they were yummy.

Laura: Is it hot in here? *fans self* I think I’m gonna pass out just looking at them. Think they'd go for one of those Long Island ice teas we had the other day?

Debbie: LOL, well we can always ask, but I bet they’d drink us under the table.

Laura: Okay, so we better get this interview started before I melt into a puddle.

Debbie: Try not to act too infatuated. Don't embarrass us.

Laura: Hey, you're the one with the flushed face.

Debbie: My face is always flushed. Means nothing.

Laura: *snort* Yeah, right.

Debbie: Shit, they're waving us over. Come on.

DEBBIE: Colin, Bobby, nice to see you again. Oh, lemme introduce you. This is my friend, Laura. She'll be helping me with your story, Bobby, so be nice to her.

COLIN: Laura, very nice to meet you.

BOBBY: Hi, Laura. If you’re as good as Debbie is, then I'm looking forward to getting on with it. Although I think she did fu— um, I mean mess up with Colin getting Emily. Should’ve been me.

COLIN: *punches Bobby in the chest* Debbie knew what she was doing. Stop being a sore loser.

LAURA: Nice to meet you both. I'm looking forward to working on your story, Bobby. But before we get to all that, I have to say, I've heard of Navy Seals and Special Forces, but I haven't heard of Pararescuemen. What do you guys do exactly?

BOBBY: *leans back against the weight bench, hands clasped behind his head* Those guys are wimps compared to us.

COLIN: Well, I wouldn't say that, but our training goes way beyond any of theirs. After 6 weeks of Basic Training we go to Lackland AFB for 10 weeks of Pararescue/Combat control training which is much like the SEALS BUDs training. They take in about 80 students, and the average that graduate from that 80 is about 8. If you make it through those ten weeks of hell, it’s on to Fort Benning in Georgia for three weeks of US Army Airborne Parachutist School.
BOBBY: Hell? More like that tenfold. LOL But you do get to see what you’re made of, that’s for sure. After that is four weeks in the Keys for US Army Combat Divers School. Then one day in Pensacola, Florida, for US Navy Underwater Egress Training After that, we hauled our asses cross-country to US Air Force Basic Survival School for two and a half weeks, at Fairchild AFB, in Washington State. After that is five weeks of US Army Military Freefall Parachutist School at Yuma Proving Grounds, Arizona. And let me tell you, that’s a blast!

COLIN: LOL Then we go to Fort Bragg in North Carolina for 22 weeks of Special Operations Combat Medic Course and wind it all up with 20 weeks at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico for PARARESCUE Recovery Specialist Course.
  
BOBBY: After all that, we get our duty assignments and are sent to our first unit. Usually either Alaska, Iceland, Florida, New York, California, or Osan, Korea, or the different units we have in Europe.

LAURA: Good gosh! You do all that? That’s amazing.

DEBBIE: That is amazing. And must require one hell of a lot of dedication. What is all the training for?

COLIN: The mission of pararescue is combat search and rescue. We recover fighter pilots that have been shot down behind enemy lines. All that training we go through is geared specifically for that sole purpose.

LAURA: I’m sure our military pilots are glad to see you when things go wrong. I can’t imagine being shot down and having to eject from a jet. Then to go down behind enemy lines, possibly injured?

DEBBIE: Damn, I get somewhat emotional when it comes to our service members. Actually I have a daughter in RED HORSE, stationed right here at Hurlburt. Makes me worry a little less knowing there are guys like you that have her back.

BOBBY: Exactly. Our motto is “These things we do, that others may live.” That’s the code we live by every day.

COLIN: That being said we also participate in stateside rescues and foreign due to natural disasters. We plucked hundreds of people off roofs and out of the water after Katrina.

BOBBY: I believe the number was something like 1,700 lives between Katrina and Rita. So what’s your daughter’s name?

DEBBIE: Wow, that’s just amazing. *Glares at Bobby* Never mind, she’s married.

LAURA: I had no idea you worked stateside as well. I’m sure glad you guys are here! So, with all that training, do you have specific areas of expertise?

BOBBY: Shit, man. Did you not just hear everything my buddy and I listed?

COLIN: You'll have to excuse Bobby's attitude. He apparently needs to get laid. Something I hope you two are working on. We all have extended medical training, so we can take care of the people we rescue. My cranky friend here is an expert sniper.

BOBBY: Why, is that gonna play into my story?

DEBBIE: It, might, Bobby. But don't worry, you'll come off looking like the hero you are.

LAURA: Yeah, but none of it’ll be easy.

COLIN: Mine sure as hell wasn’t. So why should he get off easy? What I want to know is if Bobby’s gonna get laid, cause I can’t take much more of his whiney ass.

BOBBY: Me? You were the one being an ass in your story. If it was difficult, it was no one's fault but your own. I, on the other hand, am all for this shit. I'm just waiting to see if they can come up with a woman as good as Emily.

ZEKE: Hey, man...I told you to quit mooning over Colin's woman.

BOBBY: Shut the hell up, Diz.

ZEKE: Just sayin’.

DEBBIE: And you are?

ZEKE: Staff Sergeant Zeke Matthews, ma’am.

LAURA: *whispers to Debbie* Are they all hotties? Good gosh, I’m coming back to this gym tomorrow with a camera!

DEBBIE: *elbows Laura* Behave!

COLIN: This is Debbie Gould and L.J. Garland. They’re going to be writing Bobby’s story.

ZEKE: That right? Well, I’d like to be on that list, too. *winks* But right now, we need to debrief our last mission.

BOBBY: You go ahead. We’ll be there.

ZEKE: Nice meeting you ladies. *exits the gym*

BOBBY: So, tell me about the woman I’m going to meet. Who is she?

DEBBIE: Well, Bobby, you can rest assured that Madame Eve has found the perfect woman for you. She never fails.

LAURA: Absolutely right. Though, I have to admit, I’m wondering how you’re going to handle someone with such drastic…um, issues.

BOBBY: Issues? What kind of issues? What are you two getting me into?

COLIN: Ladies, it's been fun chatting, but we have a meeting with the commander in ten, and we gotta shower.

LAURA: Don’t worry, Bobby. I’m pretty sure it’ll all work out okay.

BOBBY: Pretty sure? What the f—

COLIN: Let’s go, Bobby. Now.

BOBBY: *follows after Colin* Come on, Ghost. I want to know what the hell "issues" they’re talking about.

Debbie: Did you really have to scare him like that? Laura? *smacks her upside the head*

Laura: What? Sorry, I was thinking about soapy, hard bodies in the shower…

Debbie: Anyway, Bobby seemed a little more cranky than when we met him in Second Chance. What do you suppose is up with that?

Laura: I have no idea. But did you hear all that training they went through? How are you not imagining them nekkid in the shower?

Debbie: Never said I wasn't, I'm just hiding it better than you. Wipe off your chin, you're drooling.

Laura: What? Oh, sorry. *wipes corner of mouth* Man, I could never do all that training like they did. Heck, I could hardly squeeze into these workout pants.

Debbie: *Glances at Laura’s pants* Honey you did a better job getting in them than I would have. Now Zeke’s pants…? Well, I think we better get going on this story for Bobby, so he can get back to his fun loving self.

Laura: Yeah, whoever Madame Eve chooses for him will be one lucky woman. And what about that other guy, Zeke? I saw you checking him out. LOL He was soooo easy on the eyes. Maybe we should come up with a story for him, too.

Debbie: One hot PJ at a time woman. Focus. And gimme back my jacket.

Laura: *skipping toward the door* Not till we’re in the car. Oh, and we’re stopping by Starbucks on the way. I need another shot of java before we start our writing marathon! So many stories, so many hot guys.

Debbie: Newsflash. There is no Starbucks until Pensacola, and we’re not headed that way. HAHAHA. That put a stumble in your step, didn’t it?
