Mia is forced to return to her shadowy past as a high-stakes professional gambler or face dire consequences. As a last resort, Mia turns to Carter for protection. The connection between Carter and Mia deepens into more than either had anticipated. While their attraction grows, danger escalates with the discovery that the real puppet master of the island's gambling empire is a man from Mia’s past, with deadly intentions and a score to settle.

Flint's Battle

2024

Sidelined. Not the direction U.S. Navy SEAL Flint O’Connell thought his career would take. But he hadn’t imagined his team’s new recruits would be skimming drug money, either. The reason he and his three buddies are sequestered to the Big Island—waiting—while their CO gathers evidence. Being in paradise and training with the Brotherhood Protectors takes the sting off a bit. Meeting Emery McClane—serious crimes detective and part time security at Ohana’s bar—fate in the making. And if he can just figure out how to move beyond friends, he might have that new direction he’s been looking for. Charming her into allowing him to drive her home is a start. Asking her out on a date, even better. Until a routine safety check turns into a full-scale mission, with armed mercenaries gunning for her. Flint doesn’t know what kind of trouble she’s stumbled into, but it’s clear they aren’t backing down until they either kill Emery or die trying. The latter works for Flint, and he’s pulling out all the stops. He might have to play by different rules, but he’s still got his team with him. And with their help, he’ll have Emery’s back. It doesn’t matter how many men they send or what tactics they use, he’ll beat the odds. Because Emery’s his future, and this is one battle he can’t afford to lose.

I grew up in a house filled with books and readers. Some of my fondest memories are of reading in the same room with my mother and sisters, arguing about whose turn it was to make tea. No one wanted to put their book down! I was introduced to romance because of my mom’s habit of leaving books all over the house. One day I picked one up. I still remember the cover. It was a Harlequin by Janet Daily. Little did I know at the time that it would set the stage for my future. I went on to discover mystery novels. Agatha Christie was my favorite. And then suspense with Wilber Smith and Ian Fleming. I loved the thought of combining my favorite genres, and during high school, I attempted to write my first romantic suspense novel. I wrote the first four chapters and then exams happened and that was the end of that. I desperately hope that book died a quiet death somewhere in a computer recycling facility. A few years later, (okay, quite a few) after two degrees, a husband and two kids, I attended a workshop in Tuscany that lit that spark for writing again. I have been pounding the keyboard ever since here in New Jersey, where I live with my children—who are thrilled with my writing as it means they get to eat more pizza—and my very supportive husband.

Kris sees herself as somewhat obsessive and feels she tends to push the boundaries of common sense sometimes. Her friends graciously see her as passionate and adventurous. After all, speed limits are only a guideline and shouting is just her way of rising above the chaos. Kris loves the outdoors. If she's not on her computer—or chasing after her three kids—she's out on a trail somewhere, either running with her dog or riding her mountain bike. Kris took up adventure racing a few years ago, and tries to enter one or two races every year. Kris started writing some years back, and it took her a while to realize she wasn’t destined for the padded room, and the voices chattering away in her head were really other characters trying to take shape. (And since they weren’t telling her to conquer the human race, she went with it.) Kris loves writing erotic novels. She loves heroines who kick butt, heroes who are larger than life, and sizzling sex scenes that make you squirm in your seat, and leave you feeling just a bit breathless.
