TENNESSEE TAKEDOWN

by Lena Diaz

A SWAT officer in small-town Tennessee will do anything to protect the innocent beauty whose life has been put on the line in Lena Diaz's Tennessee Takedown

It can't be a coincidence that in the past twenty-four hours, three different thugs have tried to kill or abduct Ashley Parrish. Sexy SWAT team leader Dillon Gray saved her, but now he wonders why someone would want to murder the beautiful accountant and why he finds her so infuriatingly attractive.

Then the FBI comes after Ashley for embezzlement, and Dillon knows he must protect her from a killer and prove she's being framed. Taking her on a hair-raising run through dangerous terrain barely fazes him. But wanting her from more than just one night scares the hell out of him.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN REVENGE

by Cindi Myers

The last place she expects to have a reunion is the Rocky Mountains. But this man from her past is hard to ignore in Cindy Myer's Rocky Mountain Revenge

Despite her new identity in the WitSec Program, Anne Gardener has been found by the one person who hurt her the most: FBI agent Jake Westmoreland. And when she testified against her own flesh and blood, her whole existence was turned upside down. Jake couldn't expect any more from her–except that he did. He wanted the impossible her help.

Jake doesn't have much time to restore Anne's faith in him. She is the only one who can help him locate her mob-boss father and put him away for good. He knows that his betrayal has hurt her deeply. Loving her was never part of the plan; yet losing her is a risk he won't take. He'll do anything to keep her safe–even if it means walking into the lion's den.

UNDERCOVER CAPTOR

by Cynthia Eden

Miniseries: Shadow Agents: Guts and Glory

Get rescued by a hero in disguise in New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden's Shadow Agents: Guts and Glory miniseries!

The man standing watch over Dr. Tina Jamison was an imposing, scarred figure. Even more frightening was what would happen when her kidnappers discovered they'd taken the wrong woman. Only she didn't realize this same guard was an undercover agent, or that Drew Lancaster left no fellow Elite Operations agent behind.

Running handcuffed together through Texas, Drew vowed to protect Tina against all dangers. For a man who'd fought so may battles, he couldn't afford to lose this one. She'd need to follow his orders to stay alive. But it didn't take a doctor to see that this wounded warrior she'd once feared needed some saving himself.

The Scoop from Julie Miller

For those of you who have never visited my website, or who don't stop by often, I thought it would be fun to share my monthly newsletter with you here.  I used to send out a newsletter to readers who'd signed up for

Happy New Year from Maggie and me!

one, but it got to be a hassle and time suck, keeping up with correct email addresses, not being labeled as spam, and so on.  So I came up with the solution of posting a new newsletter every month on the Home Page of my website.  The newsletter is called "The Scoop".  Here's what's going on with me as I start 2014.  I invite everyone to stop by my website on the first of each month to read the latest Julie Miller newsletter, enter my monthly Book GiveAways, see the latest blurbs or cover art, and so on.  I'm at www.juliemiller.org

 

The Scoop

News from

USA TODAY Bestselling Author

Julie Miller

Dear Readers,

Happy New Year! Man, did the past year fly by. Looks like 2014 will be equally busy for me.

On the writing front, I have 3 books and 2 novellas to write this year, once I finish my current work-in-progress. I have releases scheduled for spring, summer and the holidays, but will hold off on sharing the titles until I get them nailed down with my editor. Out of the 5 books, only KCPD PROTECTOR, which will be Intrigue’s lead title in August, 2014, has a firm title. (Oh, the funny details of a writer’s life ;)

Conference-wise, I’ll be presenting a workshop at the Romance Authors of the Heartland Retreat in Omaha, Nebraska, this month. Then, in July, I’ll be attending the Romance Writers of America conference in San Antonio, Texas. My writing buddies, B.J. Daniels and Delores Fossen, and I proposed a couple of workshops for that, too. But we won’t know whether or not we’re presenting until later this month. Unfortunately, I’ve had to bow out of attending the RT Book Lovers Convention in New Orleans this May because I’ve been tapped for jury duty for the next several months, and it’s hard to make travel plans when I don’t know if I’ll be able to leave town or not. But I will still be one of the sponsors of RT’s COWBOYS, COPS & KISSES party for readers.

Some cool news to share—my December 2013 release, YULETIDE PROTECTOR, received a starred review from LIBRARY JOURNAL. I’m

honored to say they loved the book, and called it “A solid choice for fans who like their thrillers with a holiday twist.” Thank you, LJ!!

While I’m busy finishing up writing Teresa Rodriguez and Charlie Nash’s story, I hope you’ll enjoy some great reading! I’m going to post excerpts from some favorite stories of mine over the next few months. So enjoy the free reads and remember to enter my monthly Book GiveAway. For fans of romantic suspense, I also recommend Delores Fossen’s “The Marshals of Maverick County” miniseries from Harlequin Intrigue or B.J. Daniels’s upcoming Beartooth, Montana single title, ATONEMENT. Historical romance fans should try my good friend Laura Landon’s new “Bedford Street Brigade” novella series. And, if you like contemporary romance, you’ll enjoy my critique partner Sherry James’s latest Studs-4-Hire book, ELF TROUBLE.

Maggie and I wish everyone a safe, successful, healthy and happy 2014.
 

Happy Reading!

Julie 

What are some of your plans for 2014? Any New Year's resolution or word to live by (I'm thinking "productivity" for mine)? Any fun trips planned or big projects you want to accomplish this year?

I'll give away a copy of one of my backlist titles (print or ebook, winner's choice) to a lucky poster.  I'll be back tomorrow to pick the winner.

Happy New Year!
Julie
