I just wanted to take a moment and say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.  Whatever you celebrate this season, I hope your time is full of happiness, laughter, and friendship!  This upcoming year I’ll be posting more, as I’ve resigned from my day job and am going to exclusively work as an author.  Part of that is playing here on the blog with you.  🙂

Release day is finally here! 

Readers were introduced to the oldest Dean brother in Forgotten Sins, and now Matt gets his own story.  On the hunt for an elusive surgeon, Matt finds more than he’d planned with a feisty bar owner on the run.  Take a peek at the excerpt–link below.

Rebecca does a wonderful job of intertwining several story lines, making each one a focal point before turning the story on its ear and focusing on something else…For family, for freedom and finally for love! Ms. Zanetti has offered another five star plus book. ~ Shauni from Tea and Book

The One Man She Can’t Have

Matt Dean was born to fight . . . and kill. A member of a secret black-ops military unit, he and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be the perfect soldiers with an expiration date. Now, with time running out, he’s gone rogue in a relentless quest for the one person who can save them. His mission leads him to Charmed, Idaho . . . and to a beautiful woman with eyes like emeralds and a body made for pleasure.

The One Woman He Can’t Resist

Laney Jacobs knows the mysterious, handsome stranger is trouble from the moment he walks into her bar, looking for a job. She’s spent years running from her own past-the last thing she needs is a romantic entanglement. But Matt’s strong arms offer her protection and his gentle touch promises passion unlike anything she’s ever known. As lethal forces surround them, revealing explosive secrets about Matt’s past and putting everything-and everyone-he holds dear in danger, can he save them all before time runs out?

So I’m back from Mexico, and we had an absolute ball.  We went with four other couples and rented a house outside of Cabo.  This is the view when you first walk inside the house.  It had 5 nice bedrooms, an infinity pool, a pool bar, and was right on the ocean.  Wonderfully beautiful!  The concierge took good care of us, and the chef brought us fresh guacamole and salsa every day.  They also cooked us a couple of authentic Mexican meals that were terrific!!!

My laptop experienced a screen problem on the plane ride down, so I was in a total panic because I needed to write while there.  (Under deadline, as usual).  So, we went to the local Costco and bought a laptop after being assured that I could easily change the language from Spanish to English.  NOT!  After two hours of trying, and after speaking to at least four people at HP, none of us could change the laptop to English.  So, we took it back.  Later in the pool that day, my friend Jess mentioned that she’d brought a laptop.  🙂 Doye!  So, I borrowed hers, and all was well.

Then we were in terminal 5 at LAX Friday night trying to get home when all hell broke loose.  People ran in terror through the terminal, other people flattened themselves on the ground, and others yelled, “Shots fired.”  We ran and hid in a vestibule for a while before TSA evacuated us to sweep the terminal.  In the picture to the left, Tony is the tall guy with the black hat on, next to Travis with the red hat and Mike with the backward white and black hat.  We girls are in front of them, but you can’t see us. An hour later we went through security again and boarded our plane – getting home a few hours later than planned.  It turned out a car crashed in front of the terminal, and it sounded bad, so people ran, leaving bags everywhere.  All is well now.

Our trip was relaxing and full of adventure and tequila.  Here’s an awesome list we came up with about our vacation at the pool that was compiled by our trip planner and best friend Brandie:

Hi All!  Welcome to my blog on the Halloween blog hop.  I love October because of the changing of the leaves, and I love Halloween because of the thinning of the veil between the realms.  Okay.  I also love dressing up like Wonder Woman and eating candy.  Who doesn’t?

My family has fun decorating the house and then going trick-or-treating, and we catch up with family members and play a bit.  In the PAC NW, where I live, sometimes we have sun, sometimes rain, often snow, and once-in-a-while crazy hail.  Who knows what’ll hit us this year.

So Entangled Publishing is having a fun blog hop for authors, and we’re all giving away prizes.  I’m giving away a digital copy of AGAINST THE WALL, which is my first book in the Maverick Montana series.  All you have to do to be entered into the contest is answer what you plan to do on Halloween this year…if anything.  After leaving your comment, click on the hop logo up to the left, and head on back to the hop to enter other contests.

Good luck, and have a wonderful Halloween!!!
