Celebrating A New Release For Tory Richards

All day today on our Cyber Launch Party Blog we're celebrating Tory Richards' sexy new romantic action thriller, THE MERCENARY WAY.

THE MERCENARY WAY by Tory Richards

Kidnapped and imprisoned, Sarah Reynolds needs all the help she can get--but soldier-of-fortune Clint Becker is just a different kind of danger.

When a ruthless gem smuggler mistakes Sarah for her best friend Susan, she's kidnapped and stashed on an island. Her only hope of rescue is Susan's cousin Clint--a man whose my-way-or-else attitude is as infuriating as his muscular body is distracting.

Clint, ex-Navy SEAL turned mercenary, desperately needs a vacation. Rescuing a kidnapped woman from an island paradise isn't what he had in mind. And when he encounters Sarah's sassy mouth and tempting ways, he soon realizes he's the one in trouble. Clint and Sarah elude her captors, but there's no escaping the attraction sizzling between them. With danger pursuing them, they have to learn to work together. But can an opinionated florist and a rugged mercenary ever find common ground?

Tory Richards wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember, but life always seemed to get in the way. She didn't get serious until a few years ago, when encouragement from her family prompted her into submitting to a publisher. It surprised and thrilled her when a couple months after submitting to Whiskey Creek Press, she received her first contract offer.

Originally from Maine, she now resides in sunny, and ALWAYS hot Florida.  Writing is a hobby for her. It thrills her to be able to share her stories and she loves seeing her characters come to life with each new book cover. Some of her books are in print, but all of them can be purchased as downloads.

WEDGIE TALES AND PANTY LINES a romantic comedy by Sandra Sookoo

When unassuming mail room worker Kate Little agrees to become an underwear tester for a marketing company, things get uncomfortable fast. Not only has she never worn "fancy" underpants before, she has to work closely with handsome marketing manager Bryan Eddleman and that's enough to keep her in a constant state of confusion.

Trouble is Bryan's competing with another manager for a promotion that hinges on the results of the test group. Kate can't determine if his sudden interest is really in her or her surprisingly insightful weekly reports on foundation garments.

Add a jealous co-worker out to sabotage Kate's budding love life, an overly helpful gay friend with nothing better to do than shove her into Bryan's arms, and a rambunctious teacup dog to the chaos and you’ll have a typical day in Kate's less than ordinary life.

The last thing she needs is panty lines.
