Thanks for stopping by my spot on the Hot & Deadly Blog Hop! Today we’re talking hot and deadly~ men! My current series, Ladd Springs, is full of mystery and drama and without giving away too much detail, I can assure you nothing like my favorite villain, Jason Bourne  (or is he the good guy?). Undercover, sought by his own government–the same government that turned him into an assassin–James Bourne and the Robert Ludlum Bourne series are some of my favorites. They’re the reason I’m wary people might be peeking through my windows at night, but worthy of a read.

Delaney Wilkins and Nick Harris are at odds over a deathbed promise and a mysterious find in the Tennessee forest.  Both want the same thing–title to Ladd Springs–but they’ll have to fight each other to get it AND the building attraction between them.

Now Jason is usually at odds with Carlos the Jackal and the United States government rather than a woman, his accomplice Marie was delightful as she helped him tackle his deeply troubled past in search of his true identity. I don’t remember how “close” they became, but I’m sure all those nights cavorting across the continents of Europe provided some lovely settings. :)

How about you? Did you read the Bourne series? Like Jason Bourne or do you have another favorite? I’d love to hear! As for my stop on the hop giveaway, I’m offering up for grabs a copy of book #1 in my latest series, Ladd Springs.

Delaney Wilkins finds herself at odds with hotel developer Nick Harris over a deathbed promise and a mysterious find in the Tennessee forest.  Both are after title to Ladd Springs, But Ernie Ladd, current owner of the property and uncle to Delaney, is adamantly opposed to them both.

Felicity Wilkins, Delaney’s daughter, deserves to inherit her family’s legacy, but neighbor Clem Sweeney is working against her, ingratiating himself with Ernie Ladd.  Clem is also harboring a secret that will make him a very wealthy man—unless the others stop him before he can bring it to fruition.

Complicating matters is Annie Owens.  Ex-girlfriend to Jeremiah Ladd, Ernie’s estranged son living in Atlanta, she declares her daughter Casey is Jeremiah’s, making Casey every bit as entitled to the property as Felicity—only Annie hasn’t proven this claim.  Yet.

All are fighting to get the property, but only one will walk away with the gold.  Which will it be?  Find out in the first installment of Ladd Springs…

The forsaken children of Ladd Springs return home to seek their fortune, but no one is happy to see them. One is home for love, one is home for money.

Lacy Owens has come back to Tennessee for a return to the fold, only she’s done so on the heels of Jeremiah Ladd. He’s the prodigal son of Ladd Springs—a mecca of streams, springs and trails in the eastern Tennessee mountains—and he’s determined to reclaim the land as his rightful inheritance.

Lacy cares little about Jeremiah’s plan. She simply yearns for the comfort of family, but sister Annie Owens wants nothing to do with Lacy, though sees opportunity in Jeremiah’s return. With him in town she can finally prove paternity for her daughter Casey, and ultimately stake her own claim in Ladd Springs.

Trouble is, Jeremiah’s father has already willed the property to his granddaughter, Felicity Wilkins. She’s away at college, but fighting for her rights back home is Malcolm Ward, partner in Harris Hotels, and a man with a financial stake in Ladd Springs. It’s his job to see the land remains in Felicity’s possession.

But when Malcolm falls for Lacy without realizing her hidden agenda, his plans are put into jeopardy. In these parts, blood runs thicker than legalities and feuds aside, it’s a hard lesson for a city boy from California to comprehend.

Love and money are powerful forces but only one can prevail in Ladd Springs. Which will it be? Find out in the second installment of Ladd Springs…
