New Release + #Giveaway - Racing Peril - by @JanuaryBain - First 3 commenters win an e-book! #mystery #RomanticSuspense

If you love a good mystery tangled with romantic suspense, you're gonna love my guest today, she's a master at the genre. I'm delighted to have fellow Canuck and Totally Bound colleague, the lovely January Bain back on the blog with a tease from her latest release, Racing Peril, from the Tetrad Group Series. And she's also a giver! The first three people to leave a comment on this blog post will win an e-book copy of Racing Peril!

I can’t thank you enough, Kymmie for having me on your blog today! It’s an honor to share my writing journey with your readers. 😊

You’ve asked me how the concept behind the TETRAD Group series came to be? Great question! Gets right to the heart of things.

My romantic suspense series about a private group of persons with special skill sets coming together began because I thought about how to help those in trouble that can’t go to the police? It comes from the idea that things happen in this world that law enforcement is not the best answer for. Sometimes you need help outside the purview of the law.

Like when a child is kidnapped as demonstrated in Racing the Tide, or the problem of nabbing an exploitive villain of women in Racing Peril. I’m in the process of writing the third book in the TETRAD series, Racing the Whirlwind, where a woman is hunted by a serial killer and cannot go to the police because she was not believed the first time when he wiped out her own family due to an air tight alibi. So who’s going to believe her now?

I truly love writing this series! It’s exhilarating to follow the journey of each pair of possible lovers as they work hard to find themselves and make sense of a world gone off-kilter. I’m hoping more readers find these books because I’d like to be writing this series for years to come. I’m overflowing with ideas and plots that I truly hope get to see the light of day.

Thanks for having me here today, Kymmie, and for sharing my writing journey. It’s been a real pleasure. 😊

Racing Peril:

Revenge. Greed. Murder. And an insatiable passion…

When a drunk driver ends the life of her pregnant sister, Silk O’Connor resolves to take justice into her own hands at the courthouse where the scumbag is holding a press conference after being freed by a corrupt justice system bought off by his rich daddy.

Jake Marshall is a decorated soldier on leave, filling in for a friend at Sterling Security—and protecting the very man who used his car as a weapon and murdered Silk’s only family.

The two clash when Jake finds Silk preparing to mete out her own frontier-style brand of justice from the courthouse roof…and the adrenaline-fueled high-stakes world it ensnares the pair in will test them to their absolute limit.

It’s a fight for survival as they’re forced to team up to dispense justice on an international scale when thrust into the evil world of sex trafficking. All odds are on a fight to the death.

What others are saying about Racing Peril:

Dear Reader,

January Bain is an extraordinary author who has great talent in capturing the story and creating memorable characters. Romantic suspense is not easy to write. You must create characters who are vibrant and electric, make sure neither the romance nor the suspense overshadow each other, and craft a story that keeps the reader on edge from beginning to end. January Bain has done just that with RACING PERIL. It is one of my personal favorites and I know it will be one of yours, too. Thank you, January, for writing such an excellent story. This is a real treat for readers. I hope there are more like this to follow.

USA Today and Amazon bestselling author

From the editor, Rebecca Fairfax: “I love the unique ‘Januaryness’ January Bain brings to her writing. It’s a blend of her immense imagination, her fully rounded characters, her well-researched stories, the fast pace she tells them at and it’s all wrapped up in her love for what she does and sprinkled right through with her Canadianism. You can’t go wrong with one of her books, whether it’s the fun, sexy romps of her Brass Ringers series or the high-octane blast of this romantic suspense series. Just read Racing Peril and you’ll be rushing for book two, Racing the Tide!”

The seconds ticked by while Silk O’Connor peered through the scope of the .300 Winchester Magnum. It wasn’t her usual choice of weapon. She preferred something a little more up close and personal in her job as a PI.

“Murderer!”

“Justice for Ashley!”

It was time. The news conference was starting. She shifted from her prone position and stretched out farther on her stomach, moving her body slightly forward.

She’d held the stance for the past hour with the rifle braced on bipod legs, situated 860 yards from the Los Angeles Superior Court, Stanley Mosk Courthouse Grant Street entrance with its distinctive terra cotta figures. They had been designed to represent the Foundations of the Law, the Magna Carta, English Common Law, and the Declaration of Independence, but today the classically robed men of honor standing so nobly for justice might just might want to crawl down off that façade if they knew how it had been bought and paid for in the courthouse beneath their feet. By an uber-corrupt rich man.

The people screaming from the sidewalk as the asshole was hustled out of the entrance were right. The shit-bag was scum. He was evil incarnate, hiding his murdering proclivities for partying and driving drunk under a handsome mug that made her want to puke. She spat out her now tasteless gum onto the flat tarred roof softened by the harsh L.A. sunshine, the air percolating with the oily fumes.

She squinted through the scope. Her vantage point, reconnoitered weeks ago, gave an unobstructed view of the press conference. She was primed to catch the exact right split second. Her stomach grumbled, reminding her she’d neglected to eat that day. Later. Do the job first. But even her well-trained mind could not help reliving the crime that had led to this exact juncture. The images stalked her, day and night, the ghosts demanding justice for their murder at the hands of a psychopath who had no qualms taking chances with another person’s life, driving drunk one time too many.
