Like Slow Sweet Molasses is coming to Red Rose Publishing!


Genre: Mainstream/Contemporary/IR PG13 Romance





Like Slow Sweet Molasses explores the love-love relationship of Louisiana transplant, Angela Munso, and Chance Alexander against today's social backdrop, exposing their connection for what it really is--love extraordinaire.





Like Slow Sweet Molasses


Preliminary blurb: 

Teacher Angela Munso has lost control—of her spiraling life. She can control the fallout of recent news from whose loins she sprang as easily as she can her heart’s pitter-patter. To have feelings for a man who is everything she now wants to hate? That’s the last straw!



Lt. Brock "Chance" Alexander’s arrogance baits Angela. And—he knows it. It’s never so obvious to him as when she lobs that insulting phrase at the side of his head. She pushes all of his hot buttons. But, there’s one he dares her to touch—the one that pushes him out of her life.






I know. I hate waiting, too. In the meantime, enjoy these Louisiana Ladies who are unafraid of loving outside-of-the-box.




Louisiana Hot Sauce
Red Rose Publishing













Genre: Mainstream/Contemporary/IR PG13 Romance
Count: 101,210
Price: $5.99



Blurb:

Reclusive Mesha Rayburn's safe haven disintegrated when athletic Jack Connolly raced into her life. He was like an uninvited guest to her pity party. Yet, his brashness stoked her dormant emotions and injected spunk into her veins with every bated word. And—calling the cinnamon-skinned Black woman "biggety" didn't help matters.
 

Mechanic Jack Connolly thought the trip down South to patch up and retrieve the bullet-ridden helicopter would be a pain. He never imagined the rhetoric becoming reality. But, thanks to Mesha's panicked outcry, it had. The pain radiating in his palm bothered him less than the one in his rear. She was bold and so beautiful. He had to know why she hid out in the boonies. As her transient tenant, he intended to find out at the risk of feeling the sting of her Louisiana Hot Sauce temper.
 








Nicked Hearts
Red Rose Publishing













Genre: Mainstream/Contemporary/IR PG13 Romance
Count: 34,560
Price: $3.99


Blurb:

Valentine’s Day surgery trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey? OVER HER DEAD BODY!


Rambunctious runaway K.C. Montreaux—thirtyish and coddled—crashes the men’s room at Bush Intercontinental and straight into Nick Hart. His clear eyes x-ray through her while she hovers with a facetious grin on a lovely caramel face. A ruckus launches her to an empty stall and forces him into defense mode. Drafted actions cloak Nick’s deceit—from the mainland to Maui—as he helps outwit her pursuer.

  

Will K.C. snuff out their combustible emotions like hushed Haleakala or forgive Nick’s misguided lies?


Dare his nicked heart dream?
 




My novels are also available at Amazon Kindle and Barnes&Noble Nook.

Louisiana Hot Sauce


Mickie Sherwood's book cover
Blurb: 
Reclusive Mesha Rayburn's safe haven disintegrated when athletic Jack Connolly raced into her life. He was like an uninvited guest to her pity party. Yet, his brashness stoked her dormant emotions and injected spunk into her veins with every bated word. And—calling the cinnamon-skinned Black woman "biggety" didn't help matters.



Mechanic Jack Connolly thought the trip down South to patch up and retrieve the bullet-ridden helicopter would be a pain. He never imagined the rhetoric becoming reality. But, thanks to Mesha's panicked outcry, it had. The pain radiating in his palm bothered him less than the one in his rear. She was bold and so beautiful. He had to know why she hid out in the boonies. As her transient tenant, he intended to find out at the risk of feeling the sting of her Louisiana Hot Sauce temper.




Excerpt:

Burped, fed, and ready to play, Mya was placed on a pallet spread out on the floor.  Mesha sat cross-legged before her, the laptop screen staring at her like a big-eyed specter waiting to steal her thoughts. Writer’s block seemed an inevitable outcome to the looming deadline for her latest manuscript. Too many distractions pulled her in too many directions. Her lids fluttered rapidly as her eyes magnetized to the cursor’s hypnotizing blink. Her descent into oblivion, merely a few seconds in length, was substantial enough to jerk her awake in such a terrorized state she launched upwards and rocketed outside.





“Jack!” Her terrified shriek rent the air as she bolted blindly, thinking she had left her dog out too long. “Jack!”





“Sonof******!” a man’s voice thundered as tools thudded to the ground at his feet.





The man repairing the helicopter missed his intended mark, stabbing the screwdriver into the fleshy part of his palm when he heard the panicked screams. Gushing blood required him to apply pressure to the area with the work rag as he bent his tall body to clear the undercarriage of the craft. The person he witnessed lurching towards him resembled a wild woman—one who teetered on the edge of sanity—as she zipped through the open field, thick hair flying every which way, evidently unaware of his presence.





“What?” he yelled while sprinting in her direction. Suddenly, he saw her cut away and make a beeline for the house.





He gave chase.





Mesha looked over her shoulder at the goateed and mustached man gaining on her, his forehead furrowed with more rows than her square foot garden—an admonition to beware. Studying the direction he came from spurred her to deduce the mechanic that was due days ago was finally on the job. But, as for his intent as he bounded after her? Her heart pounded loud enough to rupture her eardrums. Her refuge seemed to get farther away the harder she pushed. She tamed her hair for another quick glance that settled a foreboding in the pit of her stomach, for she realized he was swifter than she. That truth bore out as his long legs galloped in the hunt and a vise squeezed her upper arm, goading her to fight for her life.





“Stop hitting me!” he commanded, flinging the arm out that held her captive, the move dangling her about like a rag-doll. His eyes jumped from her to the weathered clapboard house in the distance where the burst of red foliage attracted him.





Mesha saw his distraction as her chance.





She wanted her freedom. Nothing else would do. So she attacked with all she had: kicking, biting, punching, scratching, stomping. In other words—street fighting. All of her efforts were for naught since his arm snaked around her body, constricting her intake of breath. The more she struggled, the tighter he compressed. Her feeble attempts to extricate herself turned her thoughts to Mya—all alone.





“The baby’s in the house,” she whimpered, cursing the fragility in her tone.





“I’m not going to hurt you, lady,” he stormed. “Just stop mauling me.”





“O-o-kay,” she heaved, unable to control the panting while bent over the crook of his arm, her body gouged into his.





“I’m going to release you to turn around. Can you do that without a fight?” he questioned and received her positive headshake. He did as committed. “Turn around.”





She turned all right and took off again, zigzagging across the field to throw him off.

LOVE TO THE RESCUE by an ex-EMT

BOOK BLURB


The clashing relationship between tomboy Josie Miller and fellow paramedic-firefighter, Pete Thayer, escalates after he realizes Joe is not just one-of-the-boys. Pete has a sketchy history and has earned a reputation for one-night stands in the small town of Parmenter, New Hampshire nestled between the Mercy River, the mountains, and the state college. Since he arrived a year ago, Josie suspects he is hiding something. Something too horrible to share, even with her. Working side by side, Joe loves her job, and Pete.

They respond to accident calls, medical emergencies, and fast-moving forest fires amid sparks of another kind. Joe’s clumsiness and baggy uniform work against her when she yearns to be the kind of woman Pete wants like the pretty blonde they must rescue after her car hits a moose.

Outside influences come to play when the sister of Pete’s alleged victim shows up and accuses him of something even worse…her sister’s recent death. Once on track to be a doctor, the sister’s betrayal and lies caused Pete to run far away and keep women at a distance unless they agreed to share his bed…and nothing more.

Pete plans to skip town while Josie worries she has given her heart to a monster. His boss and the local police back off and he professes his innocence to Joe. After kissing her senseless, she lets him into her bed until her bothers intervene. Both keep an eye on Pete. A suicide note, some well-landed fists, stolen moments of love, and a desire to listen to their hearts lead these two heroes toward a climax filled with tension, pain, bloodshed, and atonement.

Dangerous Darkness Series

   Darkness can be dangerous as my series with that title shows. All except the last book begins with a group of four special agents off on a hunt for rebels in the jungles of Central America.  Three of them watch their leader die from an enemy ambush.  The first, Shadow On The Floor then switches to one of the men, Dev, now no longer a special agent, but back to being a lawyer in Michigan's Upper Pennsula. When he's confronted with his elderly uncle's choice of a young and attractive women as a live-in helper, he believes she'ss taken the job to hide out.  Furthermore she avoids stepping on the shadow on the floor of his uncle's den as though she knows what it is...
   Hero of the second book, Watcher At The Door, is Mal.  No longer an agent, he's back in civilian life as a DNR Officer.  When he encounters an old flame who's taking care of her younger brother in a woodland cottage because their parents died in a fire that destroyed the house in town, he finds the heat between them in still there. But who or what is stalking her? Just a rogue bear--or something far more dangerous?  
   The third book, Terror From Before has a Native American hero, Joe, who returns to the rez when he's no longer an agent. But unknown to him, he brings a terrible danger with him which threatens the entire area as well as the woman he loves.  They must risk their lives as they return to the Central American jungles to try to rid themselves of of what he carries with him...
  The hero of the fourth and last book is Cy, their leader when they were agents.  But he's dead--how can this be?  Cy knows nothing of his past, but if he doesn't find out quickly, he'll be dead for sure.  The other three unite to help him and the woman who risked her own life to rescue Cy. Her dog plays a major part  because he... Well, I can't tell you anymore because it'd be a spoiler.  This book, like the rest, is set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
   All four books are paranormal suspense romances.  The first three are available at Red Rose Publishing or my website: www.JaneToombs.com.  I'm currently writing the fourth.
