OMG!! I didn’t think I could get more excited, but I am. I also have to confess to being a little nervous about how the movie is different from the book.

I’m so excited that Trapping a Terrorist is my 25th release from Harlequin. This is an exciting and emotional story about an FBI Agent who has to stop a serial bomber who is terrorizing Seattle. Along the way, he has to protect a witness who can identify the bomber, only to discover she has a past that may risk their lives.
Teaser
An FBI agent puts everything on the line…
To keep a deadly threat at bay.
When FBI agent Miguel Peters and his father land squarely in the crosshairs of a bomber terrorizing Seattle, the last thing Miguel wants is to also entangle a lovely stranger in a terrorist’s web. Yet while Maisy Oliver might look innocent, her father’s one of the most notorious men in Washington State. Miguel knows Maisy will do anything to help him and his team catch a killer. But does that include confronting a past she’s worked far too long to forget?
Excerpt
Prologue King Street Station, Seattle, 10:16 a.m.
I need the perfect hostage.
Tucked behind the protection of the column, he watched the people coming and going in King Street Station, unaware of the danger. Unaware that he intended to grab one of them, and soon.
Peering around the edge of the column, he spied a young boy at a nearby kiosk. The boy, who was maybe six or seven, was focused on the shelves of candy before him, eyes wide in anticipation of a treat. His distracted parents, tourists if he had to guess from the expensive camera dangling around the man’s neck and the map tucked into his back pocket, were a few feet away, their attention on a display of postcards, probably to commemorate their visit to Seattle.
He laughed, thinking about how it would be a visit they would never forget if he grabbed their boy. But parents could be overly protective when their kids were involved. If the two of them went crazy when he snatched the boy, it could all go south.
Still, if this was a video game, kids would score high points for being fast, hard to control and too young to die.
A few yards away a dainty young thing stood chatting to an older man. She was pretty in that girl-next-door kind of way. Brown hair with caramel highlights was tucked up in a feminine braid and as she glanced his way, he noticed her eyes. Blue, but a blue so deep they were almost indigo. A man could get lost in those eyes. Angel Eyes.
He imagined grabbing her, but her body was toned and no matter how angelic she looked, something about her warned that she’d be scrappy.
Again, high points for that feistiness and beauty.
Not so many points for the old man with her.
He looked like an absent-minded professor with his tweed cap, sweater with leather patches on the elbows and silver-rimmed eyeglasses that made his eyes look way too big. The professor didn’t seem feeble, but he didn’t seem like a problem either.
I could take him, he thought until a tall, muscular man turned to speak to Angel Eyes and the professor. The man was fit and powerful looking but leaning heavily on a cane. He looked like a younger version of the professor. Enough to maybe be a son. This man could be major trouble, but trouble would definitely earn more points in any game.
A second later the man’s phone rang. He held up a finger, turned and took a few steps away, probably for privacy during the call.

I didn’t think it was possible for it to get more exciting, but with each day that goes by, the antsier I am to see the South Beach Love movie! Besides the romance between Tony and Sara, there is the drama around the two fifteen-year-olds and their big quinceañera parties. So here’s a shoutout to the young women and their moms from South Beach Love. Don’t they look beautiful?
Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a great weekend. Today I’m sharing a family photo of Tony, Sara, the moms and the teens since family ties are such an important element in South Beach Love. For me, the growth and sacrifice of the teens during the story complimented the quinces tradition of the girls going from children to women. I’m looking forward to seeing how that’s handled in the movie.
Get your popcorn ready! Counting down to the premiere of South Beach Love on the Hallmark Channel! Watch the movie starring William Levy and @taylorquinncole Saturday, October 9 at 9 pm!
We have to celebrate the brew that most writers devour by the gallon. It’s the first thing I grab in the morning after my laptop (and hubby LOL!) It’s comforting to take a sip while I sit and write and I know I’m not the only writer that feels that way. What about you? Do you start your day with a mug of coffee?
P.S. – Did you know that the world’s largest cup of coffee contained more than 6000 gallons! A romance author’s dream! LOL!
