The Stormwatch has begun!

Winter storm Holly is the worst in eighty years bringing high winds, subzero temperatures and snowfall better measured in feet than in inches. The weather paralyzes everything in its path, but in this storm, weather isn’t the only threat...

Stormwatch series exclusively at Amazon
A new installment of STORMWATCH releases each Thursday starting December 5, 2019 through January 9, 2020. Each thrilling full length novel is a standalone story with no cliffhangers. Don't miss a single one:

December 19 - Wind Chill by Rita Herron

FROZEN GROUND by Debra Webb
Abbey Gray, a NYT bestselling thriller author, needs time away from the madness of deadlines and personal appearances as well as her big city life in Manhattan. The timing seems perfect for her to return to her small hometown in Montana to finally put the family home on the market. Except the storm of the century is descending on Montana, sweeping in with more than just bad weather—her closest neighbor is murdered.

DEEP FREEZE by Vicki Hinze
Emma Miller, a probationary security consultant posing as a reporter, is stranded at Portal International Airport in the worst storm in eighty years. She’s reassigned to protect a top-secret High Containment Lab in the international airport that houses the deadliest bio-contaminate diseases on the planet. A lab under attack by international terrorists who want those pathogens to sell on the black-market.

WIND CHILL by Rita Herron
All Special Agent Gia Franklin’s sister Carly wanted was for Gia to come home for Christmas.
But Gia avoids the holidays, using her job as an excuse to stay away.  For weeks, she’s been tracking The Christmas Killer, a cold-hearted monster who strangles his victims and poses them with one of the Twelve Days of Christmas ornaments. With nine women dead, and only four days until Christmas, she must stop him before he kills again.

BLACK ICE by Regan Black
Evelyn Cotton deals poker at the Silver Aces casino in Deadwood to keep the family adventuring business in the black during the off-season. News of the storm barreling closer has the casino packed with locals pushing their luck and travelers who are stranded. When Wyatt Jameson, her high school sweetheart, sits down at her table it’s all she can do to keep her hands to herself. For more than twelve years she’s dreamed of choking the life out of him for running away to the Army without giving her so much as a goodbye kiss.

SNOW BRIDES by Peggy Webb
Maggie Carter’s life feels as unpredictable as the epic snowstorm sweeping the Northwest and bearing down on Minnesota. Her marriage to Joe is on the rocks and her daughter Kate is driving home from college for the holidays, perhaps the last they will ever spend together. As Maggie prepares for Christmas, the unthinkable happens. On the drive home her daughter vanishes. Even worse, she’s the third college girl to disappear near the frozen Superior Hiking Trail within the last two years. Is Kate trapped by brutal nature or is she in the hands of a monster?

SNOW BLIND by Cindy Gerard
It started out as a simple recon mission – then the worst happened. Recon evolved into an imminent threat and Rapid Response Alliance operatives, Cara Graves and Josh Haskins find themselves with less than 48 hours to circumvent a nuclear disaster. Fighting against the clock and the worst blizzard to hit the Midwest in almost a century, Cara and Josh risk everything – including their feelings for each other – to stop what the terrorists hope will be Armageddon.

All of us thoroughly enjoyed writing these connected books and we're thrilled to share them with readers now. Treat yourself to some extra reading time this holiday and curl up with your favorite hot beverage to ride out this exciting (fictional) storm.

Happy reading! 
:)

But like his brothers, when danger strikes, he will do anything for his family – and the woman he loves.

ANGI: Favorite thing about Melissa Gentry
RITA: In spite of the fact that Melissa was abandoned by her mother and lived on the streets with her father, she is giving and loving and has dedicated herself to helping the homeless. Although secretly she craves a family and real home of her own – and the one man she sees in her dreams is Dexter Hawk.

ANGI: Favorite thing about Hostage at Hawk's Landing
RITA: Hostage at Hawk’s Landing is a love story about two broken people who find each other while searching for justice for the homeless who they believe are being targeted by a predator.

Suffering amnesia, injured detective Abby Baker can’t believe her sergeant actually thinks she killed her partner. Enter Sheriff Caleb Tanner, tasked with learning Abby’s secrets while she hides from a murderer and recuperates at her Amish relatives’ farm.

Faking his death was the only way for Adam Parish to stay alive. But when a suspicious helicopter crash reunites him with the woman he had to leave behind, Adam knows they’re both in danger.

the October Intrigues

~Harlequin Intrigue is...
"24 for pacing—fast and dangerous and exciting. Justified for the composition of the understated yet intense hero we like to see in an Intrigue. Unknown for the kind of complex mystery/thriller plot that can lend itself to a solid crime story and romance."
~I'm so happy to bring you all six of the October releases. With a special feature on Barb Han who is graciously donating 1 autographed copy of KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS to a lucky Rafflecopter Winner. 


Hey Barb,
KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS

This Christmas brings the revelation that he’s a father.
Now he needs to keep his little family safe when they become a target…

When the blonde beauty who shared his bed a year ago tells him he’s a father, Wyatt Jackson is stunned. But the attempted abduction of their newborn daughter drives the Texas cowboy to uncover the dangerous secrets of Meg Anderson’s past. Can Wyatt crack a twenty-year-old cold case before Meg’s Christmas becomes her last?

Crisis: Cattle Barge
Preview  &  Order



ANGI:  Favorite thing about Wyatt Jackson
BARB: I fell in love with Wyatt immediately when his character first spoke to me. He’s had that magnetic combination of being almost too self-assured, honorable and yet still a bad boy. 

ANGI:  Favorite thing about Meg Anderson
BARB: I love her independence and how she fights for what she believes in. That she’s far from perfect but figuring it out as she goes along and doing the best she can with what she’s been handed in life (and it’s a lot).

ANGI:  Favorite thing about KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS
BARB: My favorite thing about this story is the dynamic between Meg and Wyatt as their relationship develops.

ANGI:  Where is KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS set?
BARB:  KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS is set in a fictional North Texas town.

ANGI:  Favorite scene in KIDNAPPED AT CHRISTMAS
BARB:  Oh, great question! It’s really hard to pick just one. I’d have to say that toward the top of the list would be the restaurant scene (and then the parking lot scene right after). 

ROGUE GUNSLINGER
A deadly homecoming in Whitehorse, Montana.

Bestselling author TJ Clementine thought she’d be safe with her sisters during the holidays. She was wrong. Dead wrong. Now her “biggest fan” has followed TJ to Whitehorse, Montana, with visions of murder in mind. The only person who can help TJ is ruggedly handsome loner Silas Walker—if she can trust him. Because this mountain man knows just how to hunt deadly shadows…and win.

HIDEAWAY AT HAWK'S LANDING

Her baby has been abducted
And Brayden Hawk is her best chance at getting the child back

After her baby girl is kidnapped, Dr. Mila Manchester must turn to the one man who can help bring her home: Texas cowboy Brayden Hawk. The sexy lawyer refuses to settle for anything less than reuniting mother and daughter, but the deeper he digs, the more questions he has. Like why is Mila so sure the girl’s father isn’t involved? And is the explosive secret he can tell she’s keeping going to destroy the intimacy building between them—or strengthen it?

Badge of Justice

RESCUED BY THE MARINE
A guilt-racked hero vows to succeed
…even if it costs him his life.

Five million dollars for rescuing a kidnapped heiress? To reclusive Jason Hunt, the job’s about redemption, not money. But when the troubled former marine finds megarich Samantha Eddington, opposites attract as they escape her captors. Odds are they won’t survive the brutal Teton Mountains or the mercenaries after them. And if they do, will Jason’s reward be redemption or heartbreak?





DANGER ON DAKOTA RIDGE
Her enemy. Her protector.
And yet he’s the last man she wants to see….

Paige Riddell never expects her relaxing hike to end in gunfire…or in Rob Allerton’s strong arms. The handsome DEA agent arrested her troubled brother years ago. Now he suspects a connection to a prominent Colorado developer’s death. The feisty blonde vows to prove her brother’s innocence, until she becomes the murderer’s target. But when her greatest adversary becomes her live-in bodyguard, protecting her 24/7, Paige wonders what will be the cause of her undoing: the killer…or her fierce attraction to Rob.

WYOMING COWBOY JUSTICE
Welcome to Bent, Wyoming
Where the Wild West Never Died

Resident bad boy and saloon owner Grady Carson knows his brother is not a murderer, and he’ll do anything to prove it. But partnering with Laurel Delaney? Worst idea ever. The beautiful by-the-book cop challenges him like no other. Bad family blood—and a killer at large—makes their attraction unthinkable. Dangerous. Reckless. How can they solve a crime to prevent a family war and then let forbidden love ignite it anew?

Meet Rita Herron


ULTIMATE COWBOY
Bucking Bronc Lodge

Rancher Brody Bloodworth has spent years blaming himself for his brother's disappearance. If he hadn't snuck off to be with Julie Whitehead, everything would have been different—and he wouldn't have pushed her away. Now Julie is back, as an FBI agent with a solid lead on his brother. Although the past makes Brody reluctant to fall for Julie again, he admires her for being unable to keep her hands off the case. Before long he finds himself unable to keep his hands off her. As he prepares for a showdown with the ruthless kidnappers, Brody knows what's at stake if he wins. And just how much he'll lose if he doesn't….

Series Location: fictitious Bucking Bronc Ranch, Texas

RITA QUICK DATE FACTS:

hiking boots or high heels? hiking boots
dinner out or dining in?  out
flowers or candy? candy – Reese's peanut butter cups
date dressed in a suit or jeans? jeans
texting or a real phone call? real phone call

What or who inspired the hero for ULTIMATE COWBOY?
RITA: Brody is actually a composite of real life people – with all the news stories about children who disappear and are kidnapped, I wanted to write about the effect on the person/family members left behind. Brody is devastated and guilt-ridden over his brother’s disappearance but he is heroic because he takes those emotions and turns them into something good when he opens the BBL ranch for troubled kids. He’s strong and caring and never gives up looking for his brother.

What or who inspired the heroine for ULTIMATE COWBOY?
RITA: Julie Whitehead is also a composite character. She and Brody shared a young love affair but were torn apart when his brother was kidnapped. Like Brody, she felt guilty and gave up her plans for vet school to become an FBI agent and save others. I think her choices show the depth of her love for Brody, and also her strength in using those emotions to drive her to do good things.

Is there a hero you’re just dying to write about for Intrigue? 
RITA: I’d love to write a Jason Bourne character. No matter how many times my husband and I have watched that trilogy, we’re glued to the set when it comes on!

Where would your hero “pop the question” to your heroine (hopefully no story spoilers)?
RITA: Probably in a mountain cabin on a snowy day.

What’s the perfect Valentine’s Day date for your characters from ULTIMATE COWBOY?
RITA: A ride across the ranch and a picnic by the creek. Both love the outdoors and horses!

GOTTA ASK: If you had to choose a movie to describe ULTIMATE COWBOY, which would it be?
RITA’S GOTTA ANSWER:   Honestly I can't think of a movie to describe it - trying to think of  a western but can't. Maybe True Grit meets the kidnapping case of Elizabeth Smart?
