Description:
Sam's Folly (#1)
When a bigwig fight promoter needs someone to search for his
missing fiancée, he hires expert tracker Sam Belgarde and his search dogs. Sam
is more than a little reluctant. His family’s company, Search and Rescue
Alaska, is in financial trouble, though, so if searching for a spoiled
socialite will save it, then he’s willing to break the rules—just this once.
After witnessing a murder, Nora Molina needs to get away—fast—and her best hope
to escape without her passport is Alaska. A native of Argentina, Nora’s
accustomed to harsh winters and high elevation, so she gets more than a little
irritated when some tracker thinks she needs rescuing. Even if he is get-out
sexy. And even if he’s the guy she stood up before leaving town. It’s going to
be a long few days.
When an unexpected storm rolls in, Sam and Nora find themselves in each other’s
arms—to keep warm. Things get a little too hot when it’s clear someone wants
the two of them to stay lost—permanently.
Alex's Atonement (#2)
Alex Belgarde has carried the culpability of his father’s
death for more than ten years. Every year, as his family’s company falls deeper
into debt, the guilt eats away more of his soul until there’s only one answer.
Prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his father’s legacy, Alex takes
off on a frigid winter day with no radio and very little fuel in his seaplane.
He’s using up the last of his reserve tank, preparing to drop from the sky,
when he sees plane wreckage below.
Irene Rose has spent her life chasing her dream. But after a possible terminal
diagnosis, she realizes how lonely her life has become and is ready to forgive
her sister and beg for her family’s forgiveness. Instead of arriving on the
island of her birth, Irene finds herself stranded in the Alaskan wilderness.
Unbeknownst to her, the pilot for the plane she chartered was a drug runner, so
he didn’t alert authorities as they crashed.
While Alex’s illogical idea to save his father’s company is thwarted because of
his obligation to help others, he finds purpose in offering aid to the
beautiful and intelligent Irene. The attraction is mutual until Irene persuades
Alex to tell her the real reason he can’t simply fly them to safety or call for
help. Now the two castaways will have to fight the harsh winter elements, as
well as the drug smugglers who lost their cargo in the wreck, if they want to
make it home alive. Not easy tasks when Irene refuses to trust Alex to get her
home safely. She simply can’t get over the fact that as talented, tough, and
tantalizing as he is that he was going to throw his life away when hers will
probably be cut short. For the first time in his life, Alex will have to face
his demons instead of running from them in order to win the girl and prove to
himself that he’s a real hero.
Vince Kolya inherited only one trait from his biological
father: a need to be on the sea. The rest of his life he has tried to emulate
what he learned from his unofficial adopted family, the Belgardes: dedicating
his life to helping others instead of abusing them. Unfortunately, he’s yet to
find a woman who wants the same things he does in life. It’s bad enough that
his wife left him, but she also failed to make his boat payments while he was
on a three-month stint. Giving up on relationships, Vince throws himself into
working with his family’s search & rescue team. Highest on his to-do list,
though, is saving money to buy another boat so he can get back on the water,
away from the reminders of his abusive past.
Now that her father is dead and buried, Valery Yura is coming home to her
beloved state of Alaska in hopes that moving her troubled son to the place
where she grew up will transform him into the loving young man he once was. The
last thing she needs is a distraction, especially when it comes in the form of
the gorgeous man she’s loved her entire life—Vince. A few too many drinks and
sexy dancing on the dock, and she’s repeating ancient history, a situation she
can’t allow, so she runs from his bed. When her son goes missing after a
fishing excursion, Valery feels that the authorities aren’t doing everything
possible. Although she’s resigned herself to never seeing Vince again, she
needs his help.
As much as Vince tries to hold onto his feelings of anger and abandonment,
knowing it’s paramount to protecting his heart, he finds himself falling deeper
and deeper for Valery as they search for her lost son. The only way to win her
love is to be her hero and find her son, but that hope fades when the
authorities call off the search. Determined to give Valery closure and win back
her heart, Vince embarks on an all-out manhunt for the missing boy. What he
discovers, though, might be a death warrant for him and the woman he can’t lose
again.
About the author
Carmen DeSousa's stories overflow with romance, suspense, a
hint of humor and, of course, a few Kleenex moments. After all, what would a
great story be without an emotional event setting the stage? All of her novels
are sensual but not erotic, gripping but not graphic, and will make you cry,
laugh, love, and hope. Although some of her books include supernatural or
ghostly beings, her stories dance on the edge of make believe.
As most authors, Carmen blames her leap into a full-time
career as a professional writer on her love of reading. She states that reading
has always been an escape for her. When life was rough as a child, she could
always disappear into a book. But she found something else too... She
discovered that writing out her thoughts was therapeutic. Not only could she
create hope for her protagonists, but she could also do away with her antagonists--legally.
Carmen currently lives in "The Heart of Arizona"
with her husband of twenty-nine years and a very spoiled "rescued"
calico they lovingly refer to as "Baby Kitty," even though she's
twelve years old. Carmen and her husband love to experience different areas, so
they move a lot. They've lived on both of Florida's coasts: Cocoa Beach and
Tampa Bay; Charlotte, North Carolina; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Chicago,
Illinois; Bullhead City, Arizona, the Northern Central Valley of California, and
now Arizona's high desert. They're always looking for their next adventure, so
they travel every chance they get. If you've read about a place in one of
Carmen's stories, she's been there!
Most of her novels share her favorite hobbies, mostly,
anything to do with the great outdoors. Both Carmen and her husband not only
write, but also love to read outside--or a coffee shop if it's raining. And if
the weather is really nice, they enjoy kayaking and hiking. Carmen says they
rarely spend their days off at a movie theater or the mall. In fact, she hates
shopping, and her husband would rather do anything than take her to a movie
when she's already read the book.
