Stars & Stripes

http://www.amazon.com/Stars-Stripes-Cut-Run-ebook/dp/B008WNVJNO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346201949&sr=8-1&keywords=stars+and+stripes

Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have managed the impossible: a few months of peace and quiet. After nearly a year of personal and professional turmoil, they're living together conflict-free, work is going smoothly, and they're both happy, healthy, and home every night before dark. But anyone who knows them knows that can’t possibly last.

When an emergency call from home upsets the balance of their carefully arranged world, Ty and Zane must juggle family drama with a perplexing crime to save a helpless victim before time runs out.

From the mountains of West Virginia to a remote Texas horse ranch harboring more than just livestock and childhood memories, Ty and Zane must face their fears—and their families—to overcome an unlikely enemy and bring peace back into their newly shared world.

Congratulations to Abigail!

Armed & Dangerous is now released, and I'd like to offer great congratulations to Abigail. It's a wonderful novel, does the characters justice, and I'm so happy she stayed the course when I couldn't. It's a credit to her fortitude.

Armed & Dangerous
By Abigail Roux

Cut & Run Series Book Five - Sequel to Divide & Conquer

Left alone in Baltimore after his unpredictable lover bails, Special Agent Zane Garrett takes his frustration out on everything in his path until he is ordered to Chicago to back up an undercover operative. When he gets there, though, he finds himself face to face with his wayward partner, Special Agent Ty Grady. They have to deal with the uncertainty lingering between them while they work to retrieve their intended mark, a retired hit man and CIA wet-works operative named Julian Cross.

Ty, once a marine and now an FBI hotshot, has a penchant for being unpredictable, a trait Zane can vouch for. Zane is a man who once lived for his job but has come to realize his heartbreaking past doesn’t have to overshadow his future. They're partners, friends, lovers, and the go-to team for unusual cases. With Cross and his innocuous boyfriend, Cameron Jacobs, in tow, Ty and Zane must navigate the obstacles of a cross-country trek, including TSA pat-downs, blizzards, their uncooperative prisoners, CIA kill teams, a desperate lack of sleep or caffeine, and each other. Ty and Zane are determined to get Julian Cross to DC in one piece, but it’s starting to look like it might be the last thing they do.

The One That Got Away release in Italian

The One That Got Away is being published in Italian. 
Fuga Per Amore by Rhianne Aile and Madeleine Urban Italian Translation


Description:The One That Got AwayQuando David Carmichael, dopo essere stato colpito da un'emicrania, si rompe una spalla, al suo migliore amico Trace Jackson viene naturale trasferirsi da lui per assisterlo. Il loro rapporto cameratesco comincia a correre rischi quando David scopre in esso un sottofondo di calore e tensione. Pur sapendo che il suo migliore amico è eterosessuale, David si sta innamorando di lui alla svelta.

Trace non ha mai desiderato un altro uomo. È un donnaiolo con una certa reputazione, considerato una preda ambita in città. Ma l’amicizia salda e preziosa con David viene intensificata dalle emozioni e dell'eccitazione, e la tentazione data dall’avere David così vicino è irresistibile. Presto Trace rende noto a David di voler capire se la cosa può funzionare tra loro. Perché Trace è certo che non vorrà più nessun altro – ama già David.

Cut & Run release in Italian

Cut & Run is being released in Italian. It will be in stock at dreamspinnerpress.com on March 20.
Toccata & Fuga by Madeleine Urban & Abigail Roux Italian TranslationCut & Run Italian translation
Description:
Una serie di omicidi a New York ha messo in difficoltà la polizia e l’FBI, che sospettano che il colpevole sia un solo killer con un indecifrabile messaggio, ma quando due agenti federali assegnati al caso vengono eliminati, l’FBI assume un interesse più personale verso la faccenda.
L’Agente Speciale Ty Grady viene tolto da un incarico sottocopertura dopo che questi gli scoppia in faccia. È arrogante, sarcastico e indiscutibilmente il migliore nel suo campo, ma quando viene accoppiato con l’Agente Speciale Zane Garrett, è odio a prima vista. Garrett è l’immagine perfetta dell’agente: serio, sobrio, e determinato, caratteristiche che fanno della loro partnership un cliché: totalmente agli antipodi, poliziotto buono - poliziotto cattivo, la strana coppia. Capiscono entrambi che il loro rapporto sarà un ostacolo più grande da superare rispetto alle esigue prove lasciate dall’assassino.
Appena prima che inizi il loro incarico speciale, l’assassino colpisce ancora – questa volta l’obiettivo sono loro. In fuga, cercando di scovare l’uomo che ha rivolto la sua attenzione verso i suoi persecutori, Grady e Garrett dovranno capire come lavorare insieme prima di diventare una nuova tacca sul coltello del killer.
