Picking A Theme by Tara Randel

When setting out to write a book, there are many aspects that need to be considered. What is the story about? Who are the characters? The plot? The theme? All the components that, as an author, we sit down and consider before we even begin to type the first page in our story. Since there are genres in fiction, the answers to these questions depend on if you are writing a romance, or a mystery or…

February 4th 2020 by Harlequin Heartwarming From USA TODAY bestselling author Tara Randel She’s the love of his life… but is he still hers? FBI agent Derrick Matthews has finally found his childhood sweetheart and the love of his life—but she isn’t exactly happy about it!

EXCERPT: She closed her eyes and groaned. “I don’t want any more help from government agencies.” “Then how about from an old boyfriend?” It would be so easy to fall into his arms. Let him carry the burdens she’d been laboring with for so long. Go back to the days when the biggest decision she had to make was what color lip gloss to use or which jeans to wear. As much as she might want the reprieve, it wasn’t possible. This was her reality now. Not glamorous or flashy, but she had a good job. A few friends she trusted. Her mother would get well. She had to. Squaring her shoulders, she met Derrick’s gaze. Recognized that look. The one that said “I’ll take care of everything for you.” Yeah, well where was he when she’d needed him? When she’d been scared to death the night the US Marshals took them from the only home she’d ever known? When her father left, thinking his absence was the best solution for all of them? When she’d had to change her mother’s name and her own and find yet another job in a new city? Or when she’d cried alone at night after her mother’s diagnosis? Did he think he could just show up out of the blue and things would go back to the way they were? After he’d changed the entire trajectory of her life because he’d posed questions when she’d asked for his silence? Yes, they’d been children back then. Their dreams had been just that, dreams. But she’d needed him when the world was falling down around her, when things were off-kilter and scary, and he was nowhere to be found. She’d learned to forget the past, then carve out an existence without the heaviness of memories weighing her down. So why did he think she needed him now? She’d taken care of her mother alone. Put her dreams aside to make a stable life for both of them. And now, with her mother’s diagnosis, they couldn’t leave Dark Clay until they knew for sure the cancer was gone. So no, he didn’t get a free pass to barge into her life, with his list of questions and offer to make things right. She met his gaze dead on and said the words sure to keep him at bay. “I don’t think my boyfriend would appreciate your assistance.” Other Books in the Series

The Lawman's Secret Vow

By Tara Randell

Contemporary Romance

Paperback & ebook, 384 Pages

August 1st 2018 by Harlequin Heartwarming

 To have and to hold—

 until the case is solved?

 When an undercover assignment pairs laid-back Florida detective Dante Matthews with by-the-book cop Eloise Archer, he knows it won’t be easy. And not just because they’re competing for the same promotion. Now they’re living together under the same roof, and it’s getting harder to ignore his deepening feelings for his “wife.” Can he convince Eloise to partner up—for life?

 Goodreads│Amazon│B&N│Harlequin│Kobo

Excerpt:

 Together. Right. She needed her cop face right now because she didn’t know how else to cover the riot of emotions battling inside her. Taking a deep breath, she met Dante’s shuttered gaze. “I’m good.”

“No, you’re not,” he muttered as he took her hand and practically dragged her across the lawn, his bossiness almost bringing a smile to her face.

Once inside the house, Dante said, “Let me get my wallet and keys.”

She nodded, on autopilot as she went to the master bathroom to splash water on her face. Her heart still raced and her head pounded. She glanced in the mirror. Cringed. Her mascara had smeared around her eyes, her skin was just as ghostly as Martha’s and her hair, sticking out all over the place, looked like she’d run her hand through it a hundred times. Grabbing a brush, she worked through the tangles, then wiped a washcloth over her face. Her contacts were gritty, irritating her eyes. She removed them and felt around for the spare set of glasses she kept in the bathroom.

“Ready?” Dante asked, his voice calm, yet commanding, from the doorway.

She turned, anxious to leave. Her eyes met his through the glass lenses and suddenly her feet were as heavy as cement blocks. The concern etched on his face, for her, for their friend, nearly brought her to her knees. She’d never experienced the depth of anyone caring about her during a life-altering event like this. Never. And suddenly it became all too real.

“I can’t do this,” she whispered, removing the glasses to rub her eyes.

Dante moved into the room with one step and tugged her into his arms. He held her tight as the tears she’d thought were gone returned with a vengeance. She couldn’t control the sobbing or trembling, and while Dante’s actions should have comforted her, she found herself embarrassed.

She pulled back, swiping at her wet cheeks. “What is wrong with me? I’m always calm under pressure. I know how to handle an emergency situation. I’m a police detective, for Pete’s sake.”

Dante propped a shoulder against the doorframe. “You haven’t had a person close to you experience this kind of distress?”

“No. My folks are healthy. I… You know I don’t have a lot of friends. This is…”

“Out of your realm of expertise?”

She nodded, the lump in her throat making it impossible to answer.

A look she couldn’t decipher in her current distress passed Dante’s face. “Martha would want you to be strong, Ellie.” He reached out to thumb the tears from her face. “And since I know there’s steel in your bones, you can do this.”

“And if the worst happens?” She sniffed.

“We’ll get through that. Together.”

Seeing the confidence on his face, Eloise took another breath. Replaced her glasses. Squared her shoulders and tried for a modicum of calm. “You’ll stay with me at the hospital?”

“For as long as it takes.”

She stepped forward, intending to exit the bathroom, but instead wrapped her arms around his neck. When his strong arms circled her waist, she whispered, “Steel?”

“Hey, I’m trying,” he muttered.

She drew back and sent him a teary smile. “Thank you.”

(Meet Me at the Altar #3) By Tara Randell

Contemporary Romance

Paperback & ebook, 384 Pages

August 1st 2019 by Harlequin Heartwarming

Can a love built on lies… …survive the truth? Serena Stanhope fears her dark past might ruin the life she’s built as a successful shop owner. Especially when handsome Logan Masterson suddenly arrives in town asking questions about her background. He seems to have his own secrets, but the pair share an instant connection and Serena finds herself falling for Logan. He could destroy everything—or he could be the chance at love she thought she’d never have…

Goodreads│Amazon│B&N│iBooks│Kobo│Harlequin

EXCERPT: As they walked through town, it was all Logan could do not to take her hand in his. This wasn’t a date, he had to keep reminding himself. He suspected she had information about the man he’d been hired to investigate. He needed to keep his wits about him. Yes, Serena was beautiful, but she clearly had secrets he needed to ferret out. As they passed the park, fireflies flitted about in the entrance. Serena laughed, clearly enchanted. “Oh, my goodness.” She pulled her phone from her back pocket. “I have always wanted to do a series of cards featuring fireflies.” After snapping a few pictures, she scrolled through the gallery. “I can’t think of anything more beautiful than twinkling lights coming from these tiny creatures.” Logan stood back, watching the joy on her face. “I have to admit, I don’t give them much thought.” “Then you’re missing out.” She turned to him. “Did you know there are over fifty species of fireflies in Georgia, each with their own distinctive flash?” “I do now.” “The male puts on a light show to attract a mate.” “Really? Now that is interesting.” “You probably don’t think about them much since you live in the city. All the bright lights hide their magic. To be honest, I never really noticed them until I moved here.” She smiled at the tiny lights dancing in the air. “I don’t know, they have a way of making me happy. Especially after a long day at the store.” “So you come here to visit with your flashy friends?” “Don’t laugh. They’re easier to talk to than people sometimes. No judgment. No back talk. They listen, blink their lights and go on their merry way.” “And it bothers you that people judge?” She lifted a shoulder, as if her admission was no big deal. “Sure. Doesn’t it bother you?” “Only if I let it.” She blew out a sigh. “Then you’re tougher than I am.” They stood in the deepening shadows, enjoying the light show. The smoky scent of cooking meat wafted their way from Smitty’s. After a few moments he turned. Glanced at Serena. Wondered why she looked so sad. Or what she was hiding. She noticed his attention and laughed. “You probably think I’m silly.” “Far from it.” He ran his fingers over her hair. Placed a finger under her chin and tipped her head back. She blinked at him. Interest shined in her blue eyes. Taking a chance, he lowered his head and brushed his lips over hers. Lightly, just like the fireflies darting about in the air. When she returned his kiss he moved closer, placing his other hand on her waist. The air was cool, the night special, and he was falling for a woman he should be investigating. She pulled back. Gazed up at him, a gentle smile on her lips. “Let me guess. The fireflies got to you?” “No. You did.”
