After two years undercover as an FBI agent to infiltrate a crime organization and discover the identity of a hit man, Tyler Beckett’s cover is blown. Tyler’s new assignment is to protect the only witness who can identify the mysterious killer. If only he didn’t find her so attractive. Each day it becomes harder to keep his objective, especially since he knows the interest is mutual.

Keira Cavanaugh is the only witness to a hit ordered by a crime boss. The safe house is compromised and the same hit man shoots Tyler. Fearing Tyler is dead, Keira plans revenge on the crime organization. She must fake her own suicide in order to survive.

When Tyler discovers what Keira plans, he realizes he must stop her before he loses her for good.

Interview with Mary Martinez:

1. If you could invite any 5 people (living or deceased) to dinner who would you choose?

Let’s see, there are so many people I’d love to invite. Are these all at the same time? Sort of a round table discussion type thing? Going with that being a ‘yes’, here are my choices; I’d invite Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Redford, Albert Hitchcock and Nora Roberts. And why? Because could you imagine the book and screenplay we’d come up with. It would have you on the edge of your seats, there would be a love interest, and you’d never know what would happen next. It would appeal to a very wide audience.

2. How did you celebrate the sale of your first book?

I had a book signing party at our favorite restaurant/club. Nothing fancy, but we had a great time.

3. What is one book everyone should read?

There are so many good books, but I think everyone should read The Secret by Rhonda Bryne.

 4. What was your favorite book when you were younger?

I had two. The Boxcar Children, and every time I eat or make a stew I think of when they gathered their own vegetables to make one. And then also Harriet the Spy, I guess I was always into mystery.

5. Who are your favorite authors?

Well I’m sure you can guess a couple of them. Nora Roberts, Stephen King, Sandra Brown, Brenda Novak, and the list goes on and one.

6. If you could have a signed copy of any novel what would it be and why?

The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss. And why? Because that was my first Historical romance and it is still my favorite.

7. Please tell us a fun, random fact about yourself that most people don't know.

This isn’t something most people don’t know, I’m a HUGE University of Utah Football fan. We tailgate every game, and often go with them on away game. But most people—well maybe they do because it’s on my bio, is that my husband and I got married at a tailgating.

Okay, how about this. Every Wednesday night my husband and I host Papa and Nana night. We have all the grandkids come over, and we even let their parents come. And we have dinner and the kids play and run all over the house. It’s total chaos and we love it. They’re usually all there before I get home from work but that’s okay. In the summer it’s the best because we can all sit and visit on the patio while the kids play.
