The Scarlet Chronicles #2
Hand Grenade Helen
Fans of the New York Times bestselling Addison Holmes Mystery Series will love this spin-off, featuring Scarlet Holmes and the incredible stories of her time as a spy during World War II.
Scarlet Holmes has a new mission—parachuting into enemy territory and delivering detonation devices to SOE agents on the ground. But her contact is a man who isn’t swayed by her beauty and wit, and she’s sure he can’t be trusted. But the mission isn’t one that can be accomplished alone, and Scarlet learns sometimes it’s better to trust the devil you know.

About the author
Liliana Hart
273 books3,314 followersLiliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts).
Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex.
Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America.
Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers.
Enjoy the Adventures!

Another brilliant book. Scarlet Holmes is quite a character. She's feisty, courageous, brave and makes me laugh, even in the serious bits. This is the second Scarlet book and every bit as was the first. More Scarlet Holmes, please, Liliana. 💕

Oh the people she has been!
Aunt Scarlet has always been a favorite character from the Addison Holmes books. I know war isn't romantic but she is a heck of a woman. Catch up on her youthful adventures in the Scarlet Chronicles.

Aunt Scarlet!
I don’t think I will ever tire of hearing tales from Scarlet’s life. That woman knew how to live life to the fullest!
