Red Hot Danger, White Hot Romance
Though I'm best known for my urban fantasies, sometimes I just like to blow things up.
At least on the page.
Originally written under the pseudonym Chandler Steele, the Veritas stories blend mystery,
steamy romantic suspense, and pulse-pounding, "ripped from the headlines" thrillers.
And a few explosions, of course.
