"An unusual and compelling romance." 4 and 1/2 stars. Affair de Coeur.

• FROM THE SHADOWS OF DEATH was my original title for this book! (Um, not quite appropriate for a series romance...)
• I was certain this book would never sell -- a series romance in which the heroine suspects the hero is a serial killer??? It was rejected by both Silhouette Intimate Moments and Harlequin Intrigue for being too dark and gritty, and was on my shelf, when I saw a blurb in RT that said Debra Mattucci of Harlequin Intrigue was bringing back the "Dangerous Men" imprint for that line, and that she was looking for books with dark heroes. Heroes in doubt, the article said. I dusted off FROM THE SHADOWS OF DEATH and resubmitted. We did major revisions (making it a stronger, better book), but the entire second half of the book remained the same!
• NOM has one of my absolutely favorite covers! (Who is that guy? Oh. My. God.)
• Jess Baxter is a folksinger, and she gets the opportunity in the book to play a warm-up set for Boston area folksinger Terry Kitchen. Terry is a very real folksinger/songwriter and a good friend of mine. He was extremely psyched to appear in NO ORDINARY MAN.  You can click here to check out his website.
• I’ve always wanted to write FBI agent Parker Elliot’s story! Maybe someday...
