Book description
Grace Barry leads a double life. By day, she's a smart, savvy financial
consultant. By night...a sultry, seductive, paid escort providing
fantasy sex to New York City's wealthiest financiers. Grace, a. k.a.,
Ginger, arrives at her clients' hotel rooms in her office clothes,
looking like one of their own, but tucked away in her handbag are her
sheepskin lined handcuffs and little whips. One evening's sojourn to
wealthy stockbroker Mark Chase's hotel room changes Grace's life
forever. She slips her card key into the door...and discovers Mark's
dead body sprawled on the floor. Fear makes her run, straight into the
arms of FBI agent Alex Winter-a man with a deadly secret…a man whose
heart is as cold as ice. Now, Ginger must raise money for her defence.
In a bold move, she offers her private diary for sale to any news
channel willing to pay. Alex Winters' frozen heart matches his ice-blue
eyes...and his name. His fellow agents call him 'Iceman' and he has no
patience for beautiful, scheming murderers like Ginger Berry. She's the
#1 suspect in the death of wealthy financier Mark Chase, but Alex's
fascination and attraction to the scheming call girl gets in the way of
his investigation. As Alex unlocks the secrets surrounding Mark Chase's
death, he unwittingly places Ginger in danger. When her life is
threatened, it will be up to Alex to protect her, and keep her from
publishing her diary of a mad escort. _x000D_ I sank my writing teeth
into my first romance novel after years of reading my favourite
authors...Linda Howard, Karen Robards, Kat Martin (just to name a few!)
Those ladies inspired me to write my own romances and now, it's my
passion. I'm fascinated by the paranormal...I love to be scared. Ghost
stories are my favourite. As a child I read 'The Haunting of Hill House'
by Shirley Jackson (it was made into a movie a couple of times...a good
one to watch with your favourite honey...and cuddle up to when it gets
real scary!) That book made me want to write ghost stories and
heightened my interest in the paranormal. I also enjoy writing spicy,
sensual, modern-day romance with an added twist of suspense. Born in the
land of the 'Midnight Sun' ( Fairbanks, Alaska ), I'm an 'army brat.'
When my mother's plane landed at Ladd Air Force Base in Fairbanks (no
army base...they had to share with the air force back then!) she didn't
want to get off - she and my sister were decked out in heavy winter
coats and boots - my mother figured it was always icy cold & snowy
in Alaska. Meanwhile, it was summer - and 100 degrees! My father stood
there waiting for her on the tarmac in a short-sleeve shirt, shorts
& sunglasses. She never forgot the experience - and neither did my
father. That summer, my mother said the sun never set - there was 24
hours of daylight. Soon we moved on, and at the tender age of three, my
family and I settled on Long Island, where I've resided ever since. Long
Island's North Shore 'Gold Coast' is where many of my books &
stories take place - it's beautiful! Cliffs that look out over the Long
Island Sound...a rocky, sandy coastline where pirates once smuggled in
contraband...and fabulous old mansions from 'old money' families abound.
When the hubby and I are not on the go, we're spending time with our two
terrific children (now grown) and...our two cats.
