Coast, where her enormous family still calls home. She attended college at the
University of Southern Mississippi where she received a bachelor's degree in

In 2009 Megan
fell in love with books. Until then, books had been a source for research or

she was hooked!
Megan lives
in Southern Arkansas where she pens heart pounding romantic thriller novels and
window steaming erotic romance. Follow her!
A little bit about Warrior Mine:
A
silver fox learns new tricks.
The
Base Branch office in Washington D.C. is so heavily fortified it makes Fort
Knox look like a 7-Eleven. After twenty years in covert ops, nothing fazes
Commander Vail Tucker. When a lightning bolt of feminine fury crashes into the
interrogation room, holds him at gunpoint, and takes over the task with his
prisoner, he’s more than surprised. She escapes without a trace, but Vail is
unable to remain dispassionate. He must know what is so important the beguiling
woman would risk her life to find it.
Carmen
Ruez is deadly and desperate—a combustible combination. Born into the remnants
of the Arellano Felix Organization, drugs and violence kept her in a gilded
cage—until a twist of fate showed her the roots of their riches, making her
yearn for freedom. She works for it. Fights for it. But her brother crosses the
line to keep her loyal to the treacherous family she is determined to leave
behind.
Following
instinct, Vail uncovers Carmen's motives and is galvanized by a protective
instinct he hadn't known he possessed. Determination and desire force them to
work together to defeat those loyal to Carlos Ruez and the AFO. But are those
traits enough to make them fight for a future together?
Excerpt from Warrior Mine:
She showed him her empty hands. His sweaty head shook.
Droplets of his effort slung gently from his hair. “How is it you sneak up on
me? Three times now. No one sneaks up on me. They try.” He heaved a breath and
every slab of muscle flexed and never seemed to relax. It took a full minute of
silence for her to realize he wasn’t holding his breath or holding himself at
full tilt for battle. Those blessed grooves that lined a perfect—Santa María,
was that eight—eight pack jammed between obliques worth drooling over.
“What is it, Carmen?”
Her name on his lips nearly toppled her down the three small
steps in spite of the agitation suppressed in his tone. She grabbed the railing
and made her way to the dirt, struggling to remember why exactly she’d come out
in the first place.
Sophia.
At least some part of her fuzz-filled brain operated properly.
“I’m sorry,” she blurted.
“For what exactly?”
Her mouth moved to answer, but he walked forward,
short-circuiting her synapses. Closer and closer he came until his chest nearly
collided with her shoulder. She caught a gasp between her lips, just barely, as
he reached around her to the shirt she hadn’t seen on the opposite railing. He
dragged the cotton over his face and chest and then arched a brow, which she
missed for a while, staring at the spray of nearly white scars and one vibrant
pink ruck of angry skin.
She swallowed. “I’m so sorry for shooting you.”
“I don't blame you.” He stared at her and blotted at the
sweat on his arms.
“How is that possible?” The slenderness of her voice
translated her disbelief.
“I’d have shot you to save my family.”
“You have a family?” She didn’t know why the thought
surprised her. He was a very desirable man. Handsome as red-hot sin. Kind as
the Pope. Able as anyone she’d ever seen.
“Had,” he corrected.
Carmen’s heart stuttered and she rubbed at the ache. “I’m
sor—”
He stopped her with the smallest shake of his head. He
didn’t want her sympathy. Tough. He had it all the same. Though she’d had
nightmares about it daily for the last few weeks, she couldn’t fathom loosing
Sophia, much less a family. She wondered what happened to them, but wouldn’t
ask. It explained the hint of sadness she’d seen in his eye the moment he’d
turned on her in the office.
“About earlier. I didn’t mean to rip your head off and eat
it for dinner.”
“No?” he asked, with a shifty brow and the barest hint of a
smile.

Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteWhen did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
ReplyDeleteI liked the excerpt, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLisa, thank you so much for hosting Warrior Mine! And a big thanks to Goddess Fish for putting together such a lovely tour! Rita, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Vail is my favorite, but don't tell the others. ;) Karen, I discovered the joy of read later in life (28), but once I started there was no stopping me. I was all in and then some. I got the idea for my first ever book (For All to See, releasing in April) one day while folding clothes (29). Glamorous, I know. I started writing the next day. Three months later my first book was finished. It took several years to learn how to write a book well enough than anyone not related to me wanted to read it. But I enjoyed the journey, wrote many book in between, and then rewrote For All to See earlier this year.
