Only 8 more days until the release day for Lost in Little Havana! I hope that while you’re hanging out with family this Thanksgiving week, you’ll take a moment to check out the Gonzalez family from South Beach Security. You’ll be seeing a lot of the Gonzalez family over this three-book series and the SBS K-9 spinoff in 2023! Why did I use the Gonzalez name for this family? Well, it’s one of my family names and I wanted to honor that side of the family. I hope your Thanksgiving week is going well so far and that you’ll check out Lost in Little Havana at https://amzn.to/3FT144d. Also, a big thanks to Kelsey F. for her review of Lost in Little Havana.

Teasing Teaser from Lost in Little Havana
There are only 14 days until the release of Lost in Little Havana! Woo hoo! The reviews are starting to come in! Thanks to GabReadsBooks who said Lost in Little Havana was “A wonderful romantic mystery…fast-paced adventure from beginning to end. I had to read this in one sitting, the story was just that addicting! The characters are well developed and had intense chemistry…” Thank you GabReadsBooks! You can find out more about this first book in the South Beach Security series from Harlequin Intrigue at https://amzn.to/3FT144d. Here’s a little teaser for you too! In this scene, we’re finding out more about the secret police detective Roni Lopez feels is keeping from Trey Gonzalez.
Teaser
Roni stood behind the Twins as they showered Trey with hugs and kisses.
“Hermanito, you had us so worried,” Mia said and hugged her older brother. Carolina playfully elbowed Mia out of the way to drop a quick kiss on her cousin’s cheek. “Totally worried,” Carolina said.
Trey glanced her way and offered a pained and slightly weak smile, but his color was good and he’d managed to sit upright in bed without any help. “Thank you all for coming by, but I’ll be fine,” he said, his voice raspy.
If you could consider being shot in three different places fine, Roni thought, but he seemed stronger than after his operation two days earlier. After losing her suspect when he’d raced out of the club, she’d headed to another bar in the hopes of finding him, but she’d had no luck. She had returned to the bar to make sure her friends were fine. That was when Trey’s parents had called Mia to tell her about the shooting.
At that moment, her heart had stopped in her chest and the only thing she could think was, Not Trey.
“You better be fine, Gonzalez,” Roni said, trying to keep her tone upbeat. Two nights ago, when she’d driven the Twins to the hospital, it had been too scary to see him unconscious and in pain.
Trey nodded and said, “I will be. Bet on it.”
Knowing Trey, she wouldn’t bet against him. And knowing Trey, he’d be determined to find out who had murdered his partner. She was just as determined to find the suspect who had been talking to Doug that night and discover what had been his relationship to Trey’s partner. Worry niggled in her gut that it hadn’t been anything aboveboard.
Shooting a glance at her watch, she said, “I should get going. My partner is probably wondering where I am this morning.”
“Thanks for coming,” Trey said and jerked his chin up in a bro-kind of good-bye. No hugs and kisses for her and disappointment flared before she tamped it down.
“Sure. See you.” She was tempted for a moment, a too-brief moment, to go over and give him a hug or a kiss. But she was afraid it might reveal too much, especially with the Twins watching. They were well aware of her crush and would be only too happy to play matchmaker.
