Thanks so much for
hosting the Cover Reveal for my forthcoming contemporary romance
SHANNON’S LAW. This is the second in my ‘Passion Patrol Series’
- steamy action-romances that feature sassy female cops who solve
crimes, catch crooks and always get their man.
Blurb
Wild child inner city cop
Shannon Aguerri walks a dangerous line between her methods and
justice. When the bosses lose their nerve, after yet another maverick
mission, she is transferred to green pastures to play out the role of
a routine village cop. When she encounters signs of people and drug
trafficking she homes in on serious millionaire criminals. As a
loner she has attracted men but nothing has stuck. When she meets
Spencer, the hunky and widowed Earl of Bloxington, there is an
immediate rapport between them. Their social differences mean nothing
to their passion and need. Already in the mix is an upper class
female rival – who has long plotted her way into the Earl's bed.
The jealousy is an evil shade of green and the anger is a violent
scarlet. Often inhibited by a sense of duty and honour, Spencer is
slow to reveal his feelings. When Shannon confronts him with the need
to choose between her word and that of her rival, he does not
immediately support her. All the same, when they are forced together
to carry out a desperate rescue mission, their love is stronger than
everything ranged against them.

at this stage)
I will be revealing
snippets from the story, photos of places and people that inspired
the venues and characters on Pinterest during my pre-launch book
tour. There are already some scrap-book cuttings posted:
There is also news about
the book on Facebook:
(‘Likes’ are always
appreciated.....)
I’m having two launch
parties “Afternoon Tea At Bloxington Manor”. The first is online
on the 28th February on Facebook and the second is LIVE at
the English stately home that inspired the home of my hero on Sunday
2nd March. A local favourite venue for me, Avington Park
in Hampshire is steeped in history and tradition. (Think genuine
Palladian style rather than Downton Abbey neo-Jacobean). The private
owners have kindly agreed to open up for us with a tour of the house
and then tea and cake – oh and launch the book of course!

She has been writing since childhood and has won numerous local, national and international prizes for poetry and short stories.
"Knockout!" is the first of the “Passion Patrol Series” a stand-alone love story set against a backdrop of international gambling corruption and deception.

“The Love in a Hopeless Place Collection” is a bargain anthology of 5 short stories and novelettes, available in paperback and digital formats.

“Escape To Love” is a 'novelette' (longer than a short story but shorter than a novella), a gritty urban romance with suspense and mystery but a love story at it's core.

“Love in a Hopeless Place” a novelette about a middle-aged woman striving to find her true identity.

Hello, Emma,
Welcome to Beyond Romance! I love your prizes - the notion of partying with readers is just so appealing!
Good luck with the book.
Thanks for having me aboard today. I hope the cover reflects the contents. The house in the background is called "Avington Park" and inspired the story. A famous poet once stayed there when the house belonged to his brother. You could say he wed the bride of Frankenstein. Any ideas?
We are supposed to answer a question. What is the question?
