I’m happy to announce that The Island has
been re-released, with an awesome new cover thanks to the incredibly talented
Natasha Snow.
LOOK AT THE PRETTY!
Initially, when I got the rights back after
my contact with Loose Id expired, I thought about making some changes to the
story. It’s interesting to see that what I wrote back in 2012 isn’t what I
might write today. There were a few places where, in hindsight, I might have
made a different decision with the plot. Ultimately though, I decided to leave
it pretty much untouched except for some tiny tweaks I doubt anyone will
notice.
Really, at this point, I think I’ve got
enough plot bunnies to keep me busy until the next millennium, so I don’t feel
the need to start reworking my older stories.
Here’s the blurb, for anyone who didn’t
catch the book the first time around:
Shaw is in Fiji to sell a stolen
painting to the crime boss, Vornis. It will be the deal of a lifetime, if Shaw
can pull it off. But then Vornis parades his latest toy around in front of
him—a captured DEA agent whose time is running out. It’s none of Shaw’s
business, and it doesn’t matter that under any other circumstances Lee would be
exactly Shaw’s type: he’s young, he’s hot, and he might even have a personality
if they hadn’t beaten it out of him. Too bad there’s no way Lee is getting off
the island. Too bad there’s nothing Shaw can do for him. And too bad there are
some lines that even Shaw won’t cross.
Keeping his hands off Lee proves
harder than he thinks, but Shaw’s not stupid enough to fall for the tortured
captive of a dangerous crime boss, is he? If he did, it wouldn’t be just his
job he would be risking—it would be his life.
The Island is available at Amazon and at
Smashwords with other retailers to follow shortly, and the paperback will be available soon!
And, after spending so many hours wrestling
with all that formatting to get it right for each platform, I’ve got to put it
out there: I need a drink.
Cheers!
