Hello, everyone. February is here, and this month, I’m focusing on the Valentine series. Valentine 4: Past and Present will be released within the next week or two—my plan is to have it available by February 14th. Why? Not only is that Valentine’s Day, but in the series, it’s also Val Entienne’s birthday. So, it’s sort of a birthday present to the leading lady of the story.
If you’ve read the rest of the series, good for you! If you haven’t, I will try not to add any spoilers in this post. But, I do want to talk about the book. So far, Val has driven to California to rescue her father, saved Melinda from an abusive home, and become the “Patron Saint of the Weak” in the eyes of both strangers and friends alike. Since she is viewed as a hero to some, she is also viewed as an enemy to others…mainly John Rafferty. The Syndicate, the organization of criminals, hitmen, mob bosses, etc, has realized there is a war between Val Entienne and John Rafferty, and while a few people want to pick and choose sides, the primary heads of the Syndicate don’t want anything to do with the situation. They feel Val and Rafferty should hash this whole thing out on their own. However, Val is friends with Lola Vencent, Allan and Mac Avery, and Jo Fuentes: three influential members of the Syndicate. Her friends aren’t about to just “sit this one out”.
So, there will be some mild violence in this part of the story. Val, Lola and Mac are going to be forced to deal with their troubled pasts. If that results in a few deaths, so be it.
I will post a preview of Valentine 4 online before the book becomes available. If you’re not familiar with the story, this is a great time to catch up! Books 1-3 are currently available in both paperback and EBook form.
