Katie fell in love with romance at a young age thanks to books she pilfered from her mom’s stash. Years later she loves reading romance almost as much as she loves writing it. However, she didn’t always know she wanted to be a writer. After graduating summa cum laude with a degree in psychology and working too many jobs she hated, she finally figured things out.
She now spends her days writing dark paranormal romance and sexy romantic suspense. Her publishers include Carina Press, Harlequin Nocturne and NAL/Signet Eclipse (Penguin). Regardless of genre, she always includes a happy ending. When she’s not creating stories she loves spending time with her husband and family.

Fatal Deception Excerpt
Mara steered her
vehicle into the two car garage she shared with Harrison. His truck was already
there and that surprised her. She’d hoped she would have some time to
decompress. After dropping off her stash of weapons and disguise at a storage
place, she’d returned Pamela’s car then hightailed it home. All she wanted was
a hot shower and some hot sex. She desperately wanted to reconnect with
Harrison, but she had a feeling the latter was out of the question considering
Harrison’s attitude toward her during their last conversation. And she didn’t
have the energy to seduce him tonight, even if she wanted him so badly her
entire body ached with the need. At least she didn’t have to cook. The only
silver lining.
As she stepped
inside the kitchen from the garage, she was surprised that all the lights were
off. She’d assumed he would have dinner out for them since he’d said he was
bringing home takeout. Before she’d even put her purse down on the counter, she
felt a presence behind her. The only thing that stopped her from lashing out
was Harrison’s distinctive male scent. Natural, spicy, and so unique to him, it
made her lower abdomen tighten with need.
He pulled her
back tight against his chest and tossed her purse to the tiled floor. Though
she was much shorter, she fit perfectly against him, her head right under his
chin. She could feel the leashed power in him as he wrapped his arms around
her. Her heart began to thud heavily.
The room was
dark, as was the rest of the house that she could see. Outside light streaming
in through the half open blinds and the neon glow from the built-in microwave
barely illuminated the room. Darkness and shadows surrounded them, but she
wasn’t afraid. Never with Harrison.
From the feel of
his erection at her back, he had something fun in mind tonight. She needed a
little fun in her life right now. With one arm a steel band around her chest,
he leaned down and nipped her ear. His breath was hot against her face and neck
as he slowly ran his tongue along the shell of her ear, then pressed his teeth
to her lobe.
She shuddered at
the contact, wanting a whole lot more.
“Take off your
sweater, but don’t turn around,” he whispered in her ear, pure domination in
his voice.
Another shudder
rippled through her, this time more obvious. Her panties dampened at the
not-so-subtle order in his voice. She loved when he got like this. When he took
complete control and she didn’t have to think about anything other than
pleasure. Right now she desperately needed a release. A way to forget how she
was lying to him, how she’d kept secrets from the man she loved and how she
might be leaving soon.
She swallowed
hard, shoving the thought away as she tore her sweater off and blindly tossed
it away. When she went to take her bra off, he growled softly.
“I didn’t say
the bra.” Harrison’s strong, calloused hands settled on her shoulders. He
played with the straps for a moment, then slowly slid his hands down until they
covered her breasts.

Hi Katie, do you have an outline for your books before you actually start writing them?
Hey Diane, for the most part I do, especially for my full length novels. For those I have really detailed outlines but for my novellas, it's more of a bare bones thing :)
Sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing! My question... what is the one thing that you have to have/do while writing?
Thanks so much for the chance to win. I am a big fan of Katie's but have yet to read this series. Sounds so good. I have it in my TBR mountain to remind me. Love the covers. Thanks again and have a great night. :)
I haven't read this series yet, but i know about Katie's. This series look interesting, looking forward to read this series.
I just need my computer and quiet time ;) I will admit to loving coffee in the morning but it's not a must!
Nice excerpt. The series sounds interesting.
A happy ending is so very important. It gives you a satisfactory conclusion.
