An Unlikely Match

2005

"Hogan. Jack Hogan." The cocky ex-Secret Service agent is determined to point out the security risks in this eccentric little beach town. Mayor Claire Betancourt's town. Claire is just as determined to protect Heron Point and its free-spirited citizens - however quirky they may be - from his interference. No way are Jack's take-charge attitude and dangerous good looks going to sway her. But Claire gets a shocking reality check when her nine-year-old daughter is kidnapped and Jack is the only one who can save her. And he's surprised to discover that what started out as just a job has suddenly become very personal.

An Unlikely Father

2006

Helen Sweeney is driving Ethan insane. First she nearly runs him down with her truck, then she's taking potshots at a sailboat with empty beer cans and leading him on a wild-fish chase! She's the craziest - and most interesting - woman he's ever met. What Ethan doesn't know is that Helen has a reason for her behavior. She needs his business savvy to help save her fishing charter company so she can provide a secure future for herself, her father - and the little "Bean," her unborn child. Instead she finds herself falling for him - a definite complication, given her father's mysterious hatred for Ethan's father. And then there's the small matter of Ethan's desire never to have kids...

An Unlikely Family

2007

Beware the "terror" of Heron Point Elementary! She's only just arrived at this seaside tourist town as the new principal and Evie's already heard about the area's biggest troublemaker—nine-year-old Gemma Muldoone. If having a cop for a father hasn't turned this kid around, it's going to take all of Evie's educational training…and big-city wits. Billy's a dad who knows he's in over his head—and has been ever since his daughter was dropped on his doorstep. Despite his attraction to newcomer Evie, he resents her interference…until Gemma faces a real threat, and Evie is the only one who can help.

I'm Cynthia Thomason, and I'm a romantic. To me, romance means love between people as well as finding romance in places, such as waterfalls, lighthouses, beaches, or wherever else your soul connects with the wider universe.. I have written 39 romance novels for Harlequin and Kensington. But I am currently proud to announce, BACKDROP DEAD, my FIRST COZY HISTORICAL MYSTERY, set on a showboat in 1898. I guess I'll add showboats to my list of romantic places. I was raised in Ohio. I taught high school English, ran my own auction house, and wrote books. I have experienced a great love, but lost my husband a few years ago to cancer. But he's still around. I can feel him. I have won the HOLT Medallion Award, the Golden Quill and Readers' Choice Awards and I've been nominated several times for the prestigious Maggie Award. I'm proud of those awards, but as the saying goes, "That and five dollars will get you in the door of Starbucks." I love to write about America's small towns, similar to the one where I grew up in Summit County, Ohio. I have one son, also a writer. My favorite place to spend an afternoon is the mountains of North Carolina, but I haven't been to Ireland yet. My motto as I grow older and wiser is "never stop learning." After several lessons, I am now playing the guitar and I love it.
