Vendetta ( the FBI Profilers)

A high-speed car accident and the bombing of his wife’s car convince FBI SSA Tucker Petrie that he is the target of a killer. Discovering who the person is before another attempt is made becomes the focus of Tucker’s life. With his former partner and best friend, Kella Calloway, by his side, Tucker and his team form a shadow investigation into a series of FBI agent killings no one in power has connected the dots to yet.

With the clock ticking, and another agent killed, Tucker, Kella, and the team do everything in their power to put an end to the killer’s plan of revenge.

Recently, I was interviewed by Carlie Ballou, owner of ELR Designs.

Here’s the complete interview: https://www.elrdesignsshop.com/indie-author-interviews

It was such a blast to do!!!

Thank you so much, Carlie!

to me.

So I’ve been sitting in bed for 2 hours, creating and editing a new book trailer for my upcoming 3.31.26 release of VENDETTA.

And here it is:

what do you think??

Today’s First line Friday post comes from A PRIDE OF BROTHERS: RICK, a romantic suspense from the WIld Rose Press that started off the Pride of Brothers series, and came out of the WIll Cook for Love series.

“Maybe you want to slow down the champagne chugging, Abs,” Gemma Laine said, her tone more suggestive of a parent than a sibling, as she lowered her camera and regarded her older sister.

Elite bodyguard and P.I. Rick Bannerman’s job is to protect. He doesn’t get emotional with his clients, but when a woman from his past is threatened, his next job becomes personal.

Family lawyer Abigail Laine is the target of a client’s vengeful husband, but refuses Rick’s offer of protection. He walked away from her four years ago, and she swore to forget him.

Now her reluctance to accept his help could cost Abby her life.

for me.

I can’t believe I forgot to tell you all this. I’ve been so busy promoting my newest FBI Profiler thriller, VENDETTA,

that I forgot to mention that book 1, RETRIBUTION, is over on NetGalley. Here’s the link to request it for read and review: NETGALLEY/RETRIBUTION

Today’s first line friday entry comes from my very first non-romance book, RETRIBUTION.

“How does it feel to know you’re dying, Agent O’Brian?”

6 teenage girls have been kidnapped, brutalized, and murdered in the Washington DC area and the FBI’s SPCD Unit – the Sexual Predators of Children Profilers – are nowhere close to finding the monster responsible. How are the victims chosen? How does the killer find them, contact them, lure them into his sick web? Questions the team has no answers for.

When a high-ranking US Senator’s daughter is the next victim, SPCD team leader, Tucker Petrie, is forced to call upon retired profiler — and his last partner — Kella O’Brien for help. Kella’s been out of the game for 10 years, but her expertise and insights into a serial killer’s mind are unparalleled. If anyone can discover who this madman is, it’s Kella.

But as the team rushes to prevent another young girl’s death, clues the killer leaves behind have Kella wondering if his endgame is all about…her.

so you can preorder it now!

Book 2 in my FBI Profilers series, VENDETTA, drops on 3.31.26. It’s up for preorder across all digital media and is also available in print.

Here are 5 things to know about the book to whet your appetite.

1. Tucker Petrie and Kella Calloway are back working together again.
2. FBI agents are being murdered but no one in authority has figured this out yet because the deaths look random.
3. Anna and Tucker are married and Anna is pregnant with their first child
4. A family annihilator is executed.
5. Tucker is involved in a car crash that almost kills him.

Here’s the blurb:

A high speed car accident and the bombing of his wife’s car convinces FBI SSA Tucker Petrie that he is the target of a killer. Discovering who the person is before another attempt is made becomes the focus of Tucker’s life. With his former partner and best friend, Kella Calloway, by his side, Tucker and his team form a shadow investigation into a series of FBI agent killings no one in power has connected the dots to yet.
With the clock ticking, and another agent killed, Tucker, Kella, and the team do everything in their power to put an end to the killer’s plan of revenge.

First of all, Happy New Year, kids.

Here’s hoping this year is better than 2025 because that one was a s**t-show if ever there was a year.

Now, every January 1st I choose a word for the year that will define, shape, and guide me through my career, life, and health. This year the word is: DISCIPLINE.

discipline | ˈdisəplən | noun
1 the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience: a lack of proper parental and school discipline. • the controlled behavior resulting from discipline: he was able to maintain discipline among his men. • activity or experience that provides mental or physical training: the tariqa offered spiritual discipline | Kung fu is a discipline open to old and young. • a system of rules of conduct: he doesn’t have to submit to normal disciplines. 

2 a branch of knowledge, typically one studied in higher education: sociology is a fairly new discipline. verb [with object] train (someone) to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience: many parents have been afraid to discipline their children. • punish or rebuke (someone) formally for an offense: a member of the staff was to be disciplined by management. • (discipline oneself to do something) train oneself to do something in a controlled and habitual way: every month discipline yourself to go through the file. 

For 2026 I have specific goals that I want to meet – and will – by being disciplined in my daily life with regards to my career, personal relationships, and health. By staying focused and performing disciplined actions daily, I will meet them, that is assured.

Come along on this journey with me. And tell me…do you have a word of the year that you want to define the next 365 days of your life?
