Adventure Boxed Set Sneak Peek
Welcome to Sneak Peak Sunday for April 6, 2014. Sneak Peek
Sunday is a weekly blog hop that allows readers to sample six paragraphs of an
author’s novel. This week I may be stretching the rules a bit. A Kindle Boxed
Set of three of my novels was recently released, so instead of providing a
six-paragraph sneak peek at one novel, I’m sharing two paragraphs from each of
the three novels included in the Boxed Set, Marked In Mexico (54
Amazon reviews averaging 4.4), Big Horn Storm (21 Amazon reviews
averaging 4.6), and Deadly Exodus (12
Amazon reviews averaging 4.9), along with blurbs. The set is available on
Amazon for one low price of just $3.99.
Marked In Mexico
Under
any other circumstance the words, “kill another
person,” at the end of a sentence would have terrified her, but the way Jack
said it only made her heart ache. He had killed before, but it clearly hadn’t
been easy and he obviously hadn’t gotten over it.
Jessica took his
hands in hers and turned them over. They were large and rough. He’d carried no
weapon, so he obviously could have killed the man with his bare hands. Whenever
he touched her, he was so gentle she just couldn’t believe it was possible. Though
he had done nothing but try to protect Megan and her, there was clearly much
more to Jack than he had shared and she wasn’t sure she wanted to know the rest
of his story, but felt the need to truly understand his pain.
Blurb
When hostages are
taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins an idyllic Caribbean vacation
turns deadly. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to
negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become
complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages
is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger who
has no intention of playing by the rules.
Big Horn Storm
Her eyes darted from man to man. She scanned the area and noted that she
was still very close to the edge of the ravine. Niki could feel the big horse
quiver beneath her and tense, ready to spring at the slightest provocation. She
gripped Storm’s sides with her legs and grasped the saddle horn. One man pulled
a pistol out of its holster. She doubted he intended to shoot her yet—instant
death would be too quick, easy, and preferable. Niki feared he planned to take
out her only mode of escape. She couldn’t allow her beloved horse to be shot at
point blank range, but most importantly, she couldn’t be delayed too long or
she doubted her grandfather would survive.
With a prayer and a swift kick, Niki informed Storm it was time to run
for their lives. The horse sensed the danger and cleared the edge of the ravine
before the men could react. Niki held on as tight as she could and leaned back
to help the horse keep his balance as he lunged down the slope. Rocks dislodged
under the fury of his churning hooves as he barreled down the embankment.
Blurb
A
too-close-to-home military crisis, a traumatic accident, and a terrifying bear
encounter high in the mountains—to expect help is a delusion no one can afford
if they hope to survive. Hunted and pushed higher into the backcountry, and
with a storm brewing in the Big Horns, can the rugged rancher and the
sheepherder’s granddaughter endure the wrath of ruthless invaders, conquer the
forces of nature, and rekindle lost love?
Deadly Exodus
Nyla watched as Ethan quickly extracted a knife from his pocket
and secured the blade to the end of the stick, making a spear. Just as he
finished wrapping the string and tying it off, Nyla spotted the two shapes
re-emerging from the shadows, this time from behind.
“Behind us,” she hissed as the group whirled around to meet their enemy.

Blurb
Their
love is forbidden…their lives in danger…
Trapped in a dystopian America where men are being exterminated and relationships are forbidden, Nyla is determined to change the course of her future and protect Ethan. Fleeing means abandoning her grandmother and imprisoned mother, but Nyla and her friends will do anything to escape an authoritarian government which has stolen their freedom and prohibits personal expression of any kind.
Desperate and dreaming of a new life, the group makes a run for the Mexican border through the inhospitable Big Bend region of Texas. Persistent patrols track and corner them, while a vast and desolate landscape inhabited by brazen predators tests their ability to survive.
Will they live to realize their dreams of a new life and a chance at love?
