Deadline - review tour

He wants her body and heart, but a killer wants her soul.

After her erotic romance novels become international bestsellers, writer Gillian Tate cannot enjoy her long-sought success once her husband files for divorce and she becomes the target of threats from a religious fringe hate group; but when she tries to find peace in the solitude of a remote lakeside cabin to complete the third novel in the trilogy, not only does she meet the man who can fulfill her secret desires, she also finds she hasn’t escaped danger by leaving the city.

When the Adirondack town's police chief Sam Taylor learns of the threats and checks in on the notorious author, he is surprised to find she is nothing like he would have expected from her erotic novels but everything he has imagined in his own fantasies.

Can he and the woman of his dreams escape her waking nightmare?

*Adult Content: This erotic romantic suspense includes scenes of bondage between consenting adults.*

This is a really great romantic suspense. This is one of them books that you just gotta sit and read in one sitting as you really can't put it down.

I felt as if I was sitting on the edge of my seat reading it. The author threw in so many twists and turns that I really couldn't predict how this story was gonna go. Sam and Gillian are a really hot couple. The chemistry had the hot sexy scenes off the scale with hotness.

I'm so looking forward to reading more from this author. Loved it.

Today she enjoys creating characters who discover integrity and their authentic selves through their sexuality.

An award-winning and bestselling author in a variety of genres under other pen names, Scarlet was a featured author at the 2014 BDSM Writers Conference in New York City and contributed an excerpt from her upcoming romantic suspense Retrograde to the first BDSM Writers Con Anthology. Always eager to challenge herself as a writer, Scarlet utilized a “panoramic point of view” narrative style, rarely found in fiction today, in her latest novel Deadline.

Scarlet lives with her two dogs and their Master in a lakeside community in the New Orleans area. Her next release is the contemporary male/male romance Between the Notes, expected in spring, 2015.
