Dear Reader,

I hope you enjoyed
One to Keep
!

Patrick is a fun character to tag along with, and while he doesn’t always make the best choices, he always has a heart of gold.

As for what’s up next, I’m busy at work on
One to Protect
, which will focus on Derek & Melissa and how Sloan comes to justice. Patrick will be back, along with a minor character you just met in this book. Target release date is April 21, 2014.

Most readers say they adored Kenny. I’m glad because in her upcoming book
One to Love
, she’ll find someone. She starts off lonely and a little lost, but she meets a young, handsome ex-boxer. Sparks fly, but he’s got secrets of his own.
One to Love
will be out later in 2014.

I hope you’ll let me know what you think of my books! Email me your thoughts, feedback, what you liked—even what you didn’t like! I really like hearing from readers.

Finally, if you enjoyed my books, I hope you’ll leave a short, sweet review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and/or Goodreads!

Reviews help authors so much, not only in reaching new readers, but also in helping secure advertising opportunities.

Thank you again for spending time with me. I hope to hear from you in the future!

Stay sexy,

<3 Tia

One to Hold

(Derek & Melissa’s story)

WARNING: Mature themes, strong language, and sexual content. Recommended for adult readers (18+) only!

Derek Alexander is a retired Marine, ex-cop, and the top investigator in his field. Melissa Jones is a small-town girl trying to escape her troubled past.

When the two intersect in a bar in Arizona, their sexual chemistry is off the charts. But what is revealed during their "one week stand" only complicates matters.

Because she'll do everything in her power to get away from the past, but he'll do everything he can to hold her.

Standalone, M/F, HEA

One to Protect

(Derek + Melissa, #2)

WARNING: Mature themes, strong language, and sexual content. Recommended for adult readers (18+) only!

One scar.

One betrayal.

No escape.

When Melissa's ex-husband Sloan beats criminal charges, she stops believing he will ever pay for what he did to her. Derek Alexander can’t accept that--a tiny silver scar won't let him forget, and he is determined to get the man who hurt his fiancée.

Then a face from the past turns up dead.

After exhausting all legal options, Derek is ready to do whatever it takes to protect his family... until his partner Patrick devises a trap that changes everything.

(Standalone, M/F, HEA)

Everywhere April 21, 2014!

One to Love
(Kenny + “Mr. X”),
coming 2014!

Acknowledgments

I have to start by saying a huge THANK YOU!!! to everyone who read, swooned over, and buzzed about my debut adult romance
One to Hold
(Derek & Melissa’s story). If it weren’t for you guys, I would’ve abandoned this crazy idea as just a silly flight of fancy.

So
Thank you, readers!
I couldn’t do this without you.

Specifically, I have to thank my lovely betas and critique partners, who helped me craft
One to Keep
with their eagle eyes, wit, and brilliant detective work—Ginger Sharp (my Princeton pro), Aleatha Romig, Kate Roth, Tami Johnson, Ilona Townsel, KP Simmon, Gretchen de la O, and Heather Carver. You guys are absolutely, without a doubt, the best readers a person could have. Each of you gave me a lightbulb.

I would be nowhere without Mr. TL, who is amazing in every way and gives me brilliant “guy” feedback. I love you, sir.

Huge thanks to my two precious daughters, who never complain when I’m working too long, and who know to not read the computer screen when Mommy’s typing…

To my cover designer Regina Wamba, who makes my books absolutely gorgeous. You’re the best! And to the publicity queen, KP Simmon—you were my friend first, and I love working with you. Thank you so much for believing in my books.

Finally, to my “Keepers”—Heather, Ilona, Jess, Angela C., Melissa, Jackie, Chrissy, Karrie, Ginger, Jas, Teresa, Louisa, Holly, Daphnie, Amber, Evette, Maria, Rebecca, Lucinda, Jennifer E., Anna, Deanna, Tanya, Natalie, Ellen, Brandi, Ann, Jennifer L., Jennifer N, Crystal, Nicole, Ali, Richelle, Antoinette, Sara, Angela P., Laura, Chantelle, Molly, Brandelyn, and Katrina—you guys have amazed and touched me with all of your enthusiasm and support. Thank you for keeping me going—I love your guts!

Also a HUGE Thanks to my amazing friends on GoodReads, Lisa P., Claire, Mo, Jen, Rachel, Holly, Linda, Ang, Nichole, and
all
the girls at “Sizzling Pages”—which brings me to all the book bloggers and friends, specifically Liz, Nikki, Sherry, Natasha, Vilma, Angie, Kathy, Autumn, Ali, Lisa and True Story Book Blog, Bridger Bitches, Once Upon a Page, Dirty Hoe’s—and far too many more to count…

I love and
appreciate
you all more than I can say.

Thank you!
<3
