If you could have great sex with a hot man who didn’t know who you were, and who you’d never see again, would you do it? Pippa’s co-worker asks this question and convinces her to attend a costume Halloween party. Pippa has never done one-night stands. She doesn’t even date. Because she is hiding from her crazy ex husband on the other side of the country and hoping he never shows up to kill her. The last time she’d seen him, he’d had his hands around her neck squeezing tight. Before she’d blacked out. After she came to, she knew she’d need to leave this house, and him forever, she’d vowed to stay away from men. Because they often weren’t what they seemed. But the chance to have one night to remember behind the safe anonymity of wearing a mask combined with the fact she hadn’t had sex in over a year, created a situation where she didn’t stop herself from saying yes. Tanner “Diesel” Taylor is a SEAL one of the most responsible men on the planet. So responsible that when his mother died while he was in high school, he helped his father run the garage and supported his four siblings. When he joined the SEALS, he took on the responsibilities that went with the job and vowed he’d not marry and settle down. He wasn’t ready to support a wife and kids and instead would focus on the job and seeing the world. Neither counted on meeting. Neither counted on the best sex of their lives. Neither counted on making a baby. He asks for her number, but being afraid he’ll turn out to be just another bad choice in men she refuses to give it to him. Two years later he finds her and his son. But he arrives on her doorstep too late. Her ex has been released from prison and is furious that she’s had another man’s child. A son that should have been his. When Tanner arrives, Pippa and his son have already been abducted by a man who just served time in prison for felonious assault and nearly beating a man to death in a bar. Now Diesel must get them back. Pippa, abducted by her ex, who seems even crazier than before, is terrified for herself and for her baby. She is out of hope and doesn’t know a SEAL is coming to her rescue.

Welcome to my GoodReads author page. I live in a motorhome full-time and travel the U.S.A. with my husband. I write all my romance stories as Debra Parmley. As Debra Bishop, I write fairy tales and fantasy. Back in 2007, an agent sold my first book, A Desperate Journey, to Samhain Publishing. It came out in ebook in 2008 and in print in 2009. I went on to write for 5 small presses. Later, I republished those titles under my press, Belo Dia Publishing Inc. with new covers and ISBN numbers. I also write about our travels and I'm working on a memoir of our first year in the motorhome. Here on Goodreads, you'll see what I'm reading, what I've read, and what I've written. I have a bookshelf of books I keep in the RV to read to my grandchildren and on River's bookshelf, a list of books they have at their house. Goodreads has an app I check on my phone when I'm shopping so I don't duplicate. Do you do the reader's challenge? I do.
