Shelley Munro to Launch Soldier of Fortune Here on November 20

Shelley Munro, Kiwi (that’s idiomatic for New Zealander, and don’t think I won’t be getting a few digs in about the fact that she isn’t quite Australian, while she’s here) will be guesting here on November 20, kicking off her book tour for the launch of her new Ellora’s Cave title, Soldier of Fortune.

Shelley calls her book cover the “Ninja Turtle” cover, but I have to admit I really like this cover.  I’ve been staring at it a lot lately because I’ve been helping her coordinate her book tour, and yeah, the soldier in the riot gear in the background really does look kinda turtle-like, but my gaze keeps going to the couple in the foreground.  Man-oh-man, they look good!  If that’s what soldiers look like under their riot gear, I want one of those!

The really cool thing about Shelley’s book:  The heroine is a soldier, too.

Joanna “Mac” McGregor loves her father, and she’ll do anything to keep him safe after Alzheimer’s starts to steal his mind. That takes money, and Mac uses her only skills—those of soldiering—when she takes up a security contract in Iraq. She doesn’t have time for men, her last vacation fling in Fiji relegated as one perfect moment to hold close during the grim realities of war.

Soldier Louie Lithgow is tired of fighting and has decided this is his last contract. He wants to retire, sink his savings into a place on the beach, and find the sexy Joanna, his holiday lover.

Mac’s arrival in Iraq causes consternation. They’ve both been economical with the truth, but the attraction sizzling between them flares hot and bright. They embark on a clandestine affair—professional and confident during their high-danger day, passionate with the release of emotional stress during their torrid nights. One thing is clear—they have different goals and the future is both murky and dangerous. If they survive their contracts.

Note: Readers first met Louie in Summer in the City.
