A funny thing happened on the way to the Liberty States Fiction Writers meeting a number of months ago. My critique partner, Melinda Leigh, and I started playing a game of what if. Before we knew it we had a whole book plotted out. You know what? It was a pretty darn good story idea, if I do day so myself. Never one to waste an opportunity we put our heads together and began writing Amazon Heat.

A few months later after battering, this story into shape and polishing it to a shine, we sold it to Carina Press. Now, I’m thrilled to share the cover for our novella scheduled to release on January 9, 2012

2 years ago…
Driven by grief to find a cure for cancer, Elizabeth DeMarco left Logan Spencer to accept a position on a research expedition to the Amazon rainforest. Kidnapped by guerrillas, she was saved by a secret all-female civilization, the last of the ancient Amazons. But Elizabeth discovers she’s traded one form of captivity for another.
Today…
Logan never stopped searching for Elizabeth. While consulting in the remote Brazilian interior near where she was kidnapped, Logan suffers what should be a fatal fall. Near death, he’s collected by the Amazons and magically healed. Elizabeth is the first person he sees as he wakes.
But there’s no time for a joyful reunion. The Amazons’ mystical medicine is rapidly changing Logan. They want his DNA and plan to take it—and then kill him. Logan and Elizabeth must escape before dawn or Logan—and their second chance at happiness—is doomed.
