My favorite color is … Red. Pretty much any shade of it!
My favorite place to read is … Laying sideways across an oversized chair with my back against one arm and my feet over the other.
My favorite snack is … Chocolate. Anything chocolate. Especially if it also involves coconut.
My favorite type of music is … My taste in music is pretty eclectic. I’ll listen to almost anything (& if it has a good string section, even better).
My favorite hot beverage is … A mocha latte. But typically, if I have one, I feel like I should be writing, too!
My favorite type of flower is … Orchids. I grow them, so I have a few too many.
My favorite time of day is … Sunset, especially if I’m near the ocean.
My favorite candy is … Dark chocolate truffles (filled with just about anything).
My favorite hobby is … Downhill skiing. I used to have some tricks on skis, but it’s been a while!
My favorite place to vacation is … St. Simons Island (off the coast of Georgia). I used to visit my grandparents there growing up and even thinking about the island makes me calm and happy.

This undercover agent can’t disguise his true desire!
Undercover DEA agent Marcos Costa is shocked to see Brenna Hartwell—his very first crush—cozying up to the brutal drug lord he’s about to bust! He hasn’t seen her since childhood, but he never imagined she’d turn to a life of crime. What the hunky agent doesn’t know is that Brenna’s working her own bust as a rookie cop undercover.
Brenna didn’t think she’d ever see Marcos again, especially not on her first undercover mission! She knows she has to keep her distance…but while she and Marcos play out their daring ruse, their youthful passion reignites. One wrong move could blow their covers. Can two loners used to self-reliance trust their lives—and hearts—to each other?

THE PROFILER SERIES
THE LAWMAN SERIES
Love the favorite things section. I’ve just finished reading Police Protector. It was good and the first book I’ve read by Ms. Heiter.
Thanks Bec! I read the original “The Lawman” series and it was really good. I’m going to read this one, just have to find a small window of time to pick the first one up. 🙂 Her “Profiler” series is really good too. I still have some of that one to finish too.
Thanks so much, Bec and Lynn!! Bec, I’m so glad you enjoyed Police Protector! And Lynn, I hope you love the new series – I had a lot of fun spinning off a character from the original Lawmen books!
