Some Wonderful Audio News!

My narrator, Tristan Wright, is absolutely phenomenal and he has done a fantastic job bringing Augie and Rian's romance to life. I can't wait for you all to hear it!

You can get it HERE

Here is the back copy:

A mission to capture the world's most wanted terrorist. A computer tech sent in undercover. And a woman with a secret that could change everything.

Griffin Force tracks the world's most wanted terrorist to Libya, but the only one on their team that can infiltrate his lair is Augie—their computer tech. Their Libyan contact sends in a young man to help protect Augie during the assignment, but he’s hiding something and Augie doesn’t trust him.

When the simple observe-and-report mission turns into a much bigger operation, Augie must figure out how to alert Griffin Force to Atwah’s deadly plans without compromising his cover. But things get complicated when Augie discovers the secret of the young man with him. Now he’ll have to find a way to stop Atwah and keep both of them alive—or he’ll die trying.

A New Audio Book for You!

I am so excited that my small town romance, Love's Journey Home, is now available in audio! If you are an audio book fan, you won't want to miss this one. 

You can listen to the sample HERE 

Here's the back copy:

Olivia is a D.A. with a job to do. Mick is a man with a hidden past. When their lives collide, choices must be made---and nothing will ever be the same.

Olivia Dalton has a reputation in the DA's office---tough, thorough, and fierce when she's closing a case. Those skills are essential in the courtroom, but not in the relationship department---until Mick Donovan crosses her path. Everyone thinks he's a player, but when an unexpected situation arises, she glimpses an honorable man instead. Olivia is drawn to him, but he pushes her away, unable to shake the past that still haunts him.

Mick Donovan learned at a young age never to let anyone close because those you love never stay. Keeping people at arms-length has never been hard for him---until he meets Olivia Dalton. Mick is caught up in a case she's prosecuting, and he can't deny his attraction to her, but when she uncovers the past he's kept carefully hidden, he's sure she'll turn away. Yet, even with all his secrets in the open, Olivia reaches out. Can he let his guard down long enough to let her in and take a chance on love?

I am so excited to celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow! I have so much to be grateful for this year.

If you have some free time between turkey and pie, you could listen to our newest Authors Off the Page podcast. It's our Unthankful Thanksgiving Episode! We talk about our least favorite things, that we're not exactly grateful for, and well, one of us almost got unfriended over a certain food choice, haha! We all read excerpts from our newest work, including Becky's new Christmas book and we also get a sneak peek into Jennifer Peel's newest book, The Valentine Inn! You can listen on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, or anywhere else you get your podcasts!

My New Audio Book is Here!

I'm so excited that my novella, The Captain's Christmas Promise, is now available in audio book! It's a Christmas adventure romance with Colt and Brenna from The Captain. (This book does stand alone, but having the background of the characters makes for a richer experience.) 

The Captain's Christmas Promise is a novella and the audio book is just over two hours long. The story came to me while I was on a road trip and the moment I came home I wrote it all down! Not your typical Christmas story, but still one of my favorites. Can you believe Christmas is next month?!

You can get your copy here

Here is the back copy:

A Christmas they won't forget....

After spending every waking moment hunting the world’s most wanted terrorist, Colt Mitchell and Brenna Wilson decide to take a break and go home for the Christmas holidays. The minute they touch down on Canadian soil, however, they are pulled into an international conspiracy that would leave the son of a Kuwaiti diplomat dead. Colt and Brenna finally locate the target, but a contract killer is hot on their trail. Retreating to the Canadian wilderness to keep everyone safe, they'll need all their skills - and maybe a Christmas miracle - to make it out alive.

Authors Off the Page is BACK!

So, my romance, Love's Broken Road, holds a special place in my heart. I loved this sweet story about second chance romance with high school teachers. My degree is in Secondary Education and I loved my time as an English teacher and it was fun to put some of my experiences into this book! 

I am so excited that Love's Broken Road is about to come out as an audiobook! I found an amazing narrator, Brianne Vega, who voices Tori exactly as she sounded in my head! But she's done a fantastic job and I can't wait for you to hear it. The audio book should be live in just a few weeks, and I will let you know the moment it's available!

Here's the back copy of the book:

Two broken hearts. One more chance for love.

After surviving a difficult marriage, Victoria Newel needs a clean slate for herself and her son. Taking a job as a math teacher, she moves across the country to the small town of Lincoln, Utah, where no one knows her and she can start over. However, her new colleague, Drew Dalton, offers her friendship and maybe something more. But has her heart healed enough that she could trust again?

Drew Dalton lost his wife to cancer years ago and he locked his heart away, throwing himself into his teaching job. But when Victoria Newel starts working at the high school, she awakens something in him that he never thought he’d feel again. Her gentle nature and quiet strength draws him to her, but it’s obvious she’s hiding something in her past from him. Can he open his heart to a woman who harbors so many secrets of her own?

My Audio Book Won An Award!

The audio book for my romantic suspense novel, Second Look, got a 4.5 star review AND the Crowned Heart of Excellence in InD'Tale magazine! Woohoo!

My favorite part of the review was, "Second Look is a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense novel that will leave readers breathless. Ms. Bellon has created a well-thought out terror plot that thrusts Nate and Abby together. While their attraction grows the more time they spend together, they also have a very real relationship that will have readers rooting for not only their survival as individuals, but also as a couple." 

The reviewer also said my narrator, Tristan Wright, was "absolutely fantastic." (And I completely agree!)

When he’s summoned home to Hartwell Manor, he comes face-to-face with her. Slowly, her strength and love make him see that he might be able to reclaim what he thought was lost. But when word reaches him that Marcus might not have died in Spain and yet lives, Edward will do anything to bring his friend home. As the mystery deepens, however, Edward is drawn into an intrigue that forces him to confront the demons that have plagued him since he returned to England. Will he have to sacrifice everything he’s built with Charlotte in order to keep her safe?
