The Poseidon team are hard-bodied, fiercely competitive navy SEALs. But when a sensitive mission goes disastrously wrong, three of the team’s finest will have to trust their hearts and instincts to uncover the truth…

Now his career and reputation are on the line, and a traitor is hiding among them. Diego wants answers…and only one woman has them.

Single mom Harper Maclean has two priorities—raising her son Nathan and starting a new life.

Questions she fears will reveal her burning attraction for Diego, and ultimately put them all in danger’s path.

NIGHT MANEUVERS
A Team Poseidon Novel

In a sizzling prequel novella to her new trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Tawny Weber introduces the sexy, powerful Navy SEALs in the Poseidon team as they take on the ultimate mission: love.

Within the elite brotherhood of Navy SEALs, the Poseidon team are the very best—and the most secretive. Convincing a naive journalist not to write a tell-all PR feature should be a piece of cake for Chief Petty Officer Aaron Ward. Especially once he glimpses Bryanna Radisson’s soft, lush curves. His tactic: seduce and destroy…

Bryanna is no pushover. Aaron’s hard-muscled body makes her crave much more than a story, and she’ll get what she came for. Desire is her weapon of choice, but when this one wild night is over, will Aaron sabotage her plans…or lose his heart in collateral damage?

Abigail Jansen is done with hockey . . . and hockey players. After leaving her two-timing NHL-star husband, Abby decides to start over in her hometown of Glenwood Falls, Colorado.

All through high school, talented hockey player Jackson Westmore had a crush on Abby, but he would never make a move on his best friend’s girl.

MAYBE THIS KISS
Colorado Ice

Love is always worth the risk . . .

Neil Healy was happy to be promoted to Air Force lieutenant colonel, but he’s less than thrilled that the new job has brought him back to his hometown. The memories alone could kill a man, to say nothing of actually seeing the woman he never got over. Neil knew avoiding Becky Westmore would be impossible, but he didn’t expect the chemistry between them to be as strong as ever.

All Becky wants this holiday season is to get through the month of December with her sanity intact. Not helping? Her ex-boyfriend’s return to Glenwood Falls. Even after a decade apart, Neil still makes her feel in ways no other man has. But Christmas is a time for miracles, and maybe Becky’s will be a second chance at first love.

THE GAME OF HIS LIFE

Hockey player Ben Westmore has some serious skills—on and off the ice—and he’s not above indulging in the many perks of NHL stardom. When a night in Vegas ends in disaster, he realizes two things: 1) it’s time to lie low for a while, and 2) he needs a lawyer—fast. But the smoking-hot woman who walks into his office immediately tests all his good intentions.

Olivia Davis doesn’t need anyone derailing her career—or her dreams of starting a family—least of all a skirt-chasing player like Ben. But soon he’s unleashing a full-court press to convince her that he’s the real deal. She’s slowly falling for his sweet, rugged charm, but with so much on the line, Olivia has to decide whether Ben can truly change—or if he’s just playing the game.

My favorite color is … 

I love greens – the bright light green of a new leaf, the rich green of moss and the gray-green of the winter Atlantic.

My favorite place to read is …

The bathtub.  I trickle warm water in when the temperature gets chilly.  I have learned to hold my eReader over the bathmat so if I nod off, it lands on the mat and not in the tub!

Now that I’m in Florida, I am beginning to love reading on the beach under a big old umbrella (Natural Redhead – Keep out of direct sun)

My favorite snack is … Gingersnaps!  I also love a bowl of cereal as an evening snack.

My favorite type of music is … A wide variety.  I often write to opera or movie soundtracks.  I love to sing to musicals and torch songs like “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “As Time Goes By” and I have some favorite artists like Rufus Waynewright, Dolly Parton, Jimmy Buffet, Patsy Cline, Frank Sinatra, Toby Keith, Jack White and Bruno Mar…and The Beatles. My favorite Beatles song is Paperback Writer, of course!

My favorite hot beverage is … Oh, coffee.  Definitely.  The darker the better.

My favorite type of flower is …

Snow drops for being the first flower to bloom, often right through the ice.  Crocus because it is the first spring bloom to bring color.

Redbud is my favorite flowering tree for its color and interesting blossoms that grow right out of the trunk.

Lilac & Iris– I love the color and the fragrance.

Verbena – this is what I wear as a perfume, a favorite for the sweet and crisp scent

My favorite time of day is … Morning.  I enjoy getting up before sunrise when the house is quiet.  I get my coffee and collect my thoughts, power up the computer and get to work.

My favorite candy is … It would be easier to tell you what is not my favorite because I love nearly every kind of candy.  I am not a fan of licorice or the sour candies.

My favorite hobby is … Scuba diving.  It is the closest thing to flying that I have ever experienced.  Swimming is a close second.

My favorite place to vacation is … I like road trips, especially to national and state parks.  I recently traveled through Arizona, seeing the lovely red rocks of Sedona and the White Mountain Apache Reservation.  One of the best unplanned stops was the Saguaro (pronounced: sa-gwar-o) National Park for some of the most spectacular cactus you will ever see and an amazing assortment of wildlife and arid vegetation.  A side trip to Bisbee was the inspiration for my upcoming APACHE PROTECTORS: TRIBAL THUNDER series.  Bisbee bills itself as “Mayberry on Acid.”  If you’d like to read more about how Bisbee influence the story you can read more here in my STORY BEHIND THE STORY on my Extra’s Page. of the most magnificent landscapes and scenery in our entire country.
