It's here!

It's here-the first book in the Bear's Brigade series. Entitled 'Mission Treachery,' it's the story of Colonel Bear Bustamante and Dr. Felicia Castillo, in whom he's met his match! Lots of suspense, lots of action, and lots of hot, hot romance! I'm very excited about this series and hope you will be as well.

Emily’s Quotes

“No. No, I don't believe you'd betray me with her. I don't believe you'd cheat on me. But I'm afraid, and I'm sick in my heart that you might look at her, then at me. And regret.”
― J.D. Robb, Innocent in Death

"I love you," she murmured. "I love you so much, I'm stupid about it."

With a sigh, she settled down, closed her eyes, and willed her mind to empty.
Beside her, Roarke smiled into the dark.

He never slept first.”
― J.D. Robb, Ceremony in Death
