Sam Berretti
Doris Watson has a troubled relationship with headstrong Della Jamay Charboneau since she has almost gotten her killed more than once. Doris enjoys her safe and secure life working at an engineering firm. Della Jamay, a manipulative mercenary, is intent on dragging Doris out of her cocoon to work for her.

No surprise considering what they’d done; the dead bad guys, the millions stripped from criminal accounts. Such was the life of people associated with Seekers Worldwide, a clandestine group running special ops for a stable of alphabet agencies. Their only option is to track down who wants revenge. Doris sees her simple life disappearing once again down a dark rabbit hole into hell. A long, convoluted trail leads them to Europe where death, terror, and unspeakable horror awaits them at every turn.

DOUBLE MAYHEM is free
DOUBLE MAYHEM, my first book is free Oct 10 - 14 on Kindle. Always free on Kindle Unlimited. Spread the word!
Doris - not a super spy, not a trained assassin - someone real and much more lethal, a smart woman pushed into a corner. This highly rated action thriller romance introduces Doris Watson as a unique heroine. They say for every person in the world there is a twin. For Doris, that simple wisdom becomes a nightmare reality that threatens her and the ones she’s come to love. An ex-military engineer who leads a quiet life as an appliance designer, she is recruited to perform one uncomplicated task: take a handoff of secret plans from a Chinese agent who believes she is someone else. She accepts the assignment and the only person she can blame is herself. She opened the door. She said yes. Her lonely existence is shattered as headstrong men cross her path. Dangerous men with dangerous needs. Suddenly embroiled in mob killings, espionage, and police investigations, she has become a billion-dollar target of sadistic crooks, the FBI, the NSA, and her psychotic look-alike. It is up to her to protect herself and the mysterious psychic child who has been thrust into her life. No one is who they appear to be. No one is telling the truth, because the truth can make you dead. Forced to use all her training and wits, she must find a way to survive. Forced to uncover the secrets of her childhood, she must face a new reality. Some days you just shouldn’t answer the door.
Mystery, intriguing subplots, humor, heartwarming moments and a cast of highly memorable characters combine with a touch of the paranormal to weave a tapestry of memorable proportions in this contemporary romance, a jewel of romantic suspense.

New Release - The Black Rose
Just wanted to get the word out that I've published my second book,
The Black Rose
. If you get a chance, check it out. Here is a synopsis:
---------------
What do you want to be when you grow up, Meredith? A dead attorney had not been her answer, she was pretty darn sure.
After years of experience in the courtroom, Assistant State Attorney Meredith O’Brien finds herself the target of street thugs and deep into uncovering the truth about a serial rapist and killer intent on taunting the police and her. What was the meaning of the black rose? After years of being alone she also finds herself being pursued by her ex-boyfriend detective and a mysterious Atlanta billionaire, not to mention a dog with the intelligence of a four year old. Both of the men are infuriating, persistent and intent on getting into her life, business and more personal places. Surrounded by a cast of unpredictable characters including co-workers, relatives, psychics and bounty hunters, she finds her entire life has gone crazily out of control. Strong willed, sharp-tongued and explosive, she discovers the media is quick to paint a target on her back. Dodging bullets and physically fighting bad guys was not what Meredith envisioned when she went to law school or took her job in the small, picturesque Florida city of Gainesville. Dying prematurely was also not what she had envisioned.
This cozy romantic action thriller is packed with suspense, adventure, comedy and women sleuths fighting crime. This is a detective story with heart and a touch of the paranormal, as Meredith O’Brien applies her brand of the law, up close and very personally. A fine blend of romance and mystery, it follows the drama as police are confronted with crimes against the community and those that enforce the law. If Meredith survives the attacks on her, she still has to deal with her meddling friends and family pushing romance and impossible relationships on her. What’s a girl to do?
This first of the O’Brien’s Law Mystery series is available as a paperback and Kindle Ebook.
