THE DECEIVED - a romantic suspense from Sandra K. Marshall
The games they play can lead them to love or ruin.Melanie Dubois detests her family's casino business. The way this addiction destroys people has her on a tear of magnificent proportions. Then again, this young lady has been put through a train wreck of her own design. She distrusts everybody except for the people who are determined to use Melanie as a poster-child for zealots.
Mike Mercer has spent nearly a year in a deep cover mission for the FBI. The one fly in the ointment of completing his objective to take down a group of dangerous anti-gambling zealots is a fiery-tempered, blonde-haired woman named Melanie DuBois. Worse than that, she's got a passion brewing just beneath the surface that's an even deadlier attraction.
Fighting for your life is never easy when the odds are stacked against you.

Good morning Sandra!!! And super congrats on the release of THE DECEIVED...I just read the excerpt and it sounds great!
ReplyDeleteHow did the idea for this story come about and I found it really interesting that your first book ADDICTION had a main character that had a gambling addiction (among others) and your heroine in this book is fighting against a casino - are the books connected?
Congrats again and it's great to have you here! Here's to THE DECEIVED being a bestseller for you!
Thank you, DeNita. I'm thrilled to be here.
ReplyDeleteActually, Addiction wasn't the first book. The Catalyst was first, but the publisher who released it closed.
All three of these books were written because riverboat casinos moved into our area.
Sandy, a big congrats and kudos to you on the release.
ReplyDeleteI know all about Casinos coming in and disrupting families, etc. We had 1 open app. 1 1/2 yrs. ago an hours drive away. There are always vehicles in the parking lot.
I like Melanie already, lol.
Sounds like an interesting premise. So what do you do to relax and retank.

Thanks, RobynL.
ReplyDeleteMelanie is definitely a spitfire. lol
Valerie,
ReplyDeleteI love to read when I get the chance. There's nothing better than curling up with my new Nook (early Christmas present from hubby), a cup of hot chocolate and my favorite snack food (Deluxe nuts with no peanuts). Smile.

ReplyDeleteIt's very exciting that the whole trilogy will be available. It means a lot of work because the formating is different from when it was released from Forbidden Publications.
Are you planning more books with this theme?

Hi Estella,
ReplyDeleteAll my books will be romantic suspense. It's what I read and enjoyed as a child. I enjoy writing as much as reading them.
Thank you, booklover0226. I hope you'll enjoy mine as well.
hod do you feel about casinos in towns and do you think crime rises or falls I think they could be good for jobs if they hire locals to work there
ReplyDeleteyour books are awesome I also was wondering since you wrote about addictions do youghave any vices you cnat klive with out for me its pepsi i need at least one a day
cant wait to read ur new book/s
mortalsinn@yahoo.com
Thank you, SiNn. I'm glad you like my books.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't believe more crime happened because of the casinos, or not that I'm aware of. People were most concerned about prostitution at the casinos than anything. That hasn't developed.
The only problem I see from the casinos is the addiction. Some people are just addicted to gambling and go so far as to lose their homes.
The only addiction I can't stop is my deluxe nuts without peanuts. I can't stop with a handful, I have to eat the whole can in one sitting. lol
It sounds interesting your new book. How did you get into writing and this particular genre. Congrats on your new book
ReplyDelete'THE DECEIVED' looks like a great read. Love the title.

Thank you, Anonymous and Marybelle,
ReplyDeleteI read childhood mysteries like Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, Gothics, and then moved to Harlequin romances, so it was pretty much natural to write in the romantic suspense genre.
That being said, I wouldn't have written a book if it wasn't for my husband. He challenged me to write a book. lol Boy, is he sorry now.
