It's always a pleasure to host Regan Black. I was introduced to Regan's books a few years ago and, wow, am I happy I was! Her action-packed stories, with heart-tugging romance and suspense that always keeps me guessing, never fail to take me on a heart-pounding ride. You can find more information about Regan and her books at her website and connect with her online at Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Regan joins us today to talk about the newest book in her Escape Club Heroes series, A Stranger She Can Trust. Once again, she captivated me with her characters, kept me guessing with intricately woven suspense, and crafted a story that refused to let go until I reached the final page. If you enjoy action and suspense within a satisfying romance, I highly recommend Regan Black's books. Please join me in giving her a warm Romance Dish welcome.
Thanks so much, PJ, for having me back today to celebrate
the release of A Stranger She Can Trust,
the second book in the Escape Club Heroes series. Writing these books for
Harlequin Romantic Suspense has been a fabulous experience.
While I wrote this book, I often wondered how it is we know
who
to trust when we’re in the midst of a crisis. Melissa, suffering from
trauma-induced amnesia has to rely only on intuition when she chooses to let
Carson help her.
One of my favorite scenes in the story takes place over the
comforting power of chocolate cake. In the months after Carson was injured on
the job, his oldest sister frequently stops by to check on him. On one such
errand, she left the cake for him and he shares it with Melissa when she’s at a
low point.
Chocolate is one of those miracle cures for nearly
everything, right? And I think cake can qualify as a helpful building block on
the road to a happy ever after.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup cold water
2 Tablespoons white vinegar
Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan
with vegetable cooking spray or butter (or use a nonstick pan). Combine sugar,
cocoa, flour and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Add oil and water and blend thoroughly with a
fork. Quickly stir in the vinegar. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for
25-30 minutes or until cake tests done. 9 servings.
Outside of one of Philadelphia's busiest nightclubs, a woman
stumbles from her taxi. Beaten and bruised, Melissa Baxter is an amnesiac with
a target on her back. Gun-shy, Melissa relies on a handsome hero to help her
uncover who she really is.
Carson Lane—a paramedic with his own dark history—can't help
but bring this beautiful, vulnerable woman under his wing. Still reeling from
his partner's murder, he's no stranger to risk. But as he and Melissa begin
unraveling the mystery of who she really is, Carson realizes falling in love
could be the biggest risk of all.
