~*~*~ON SHELVES NOW!~*~*~
My June Harlequin Desire – ACQUIRED: CEO’S SMALL TOWN BRIDE – is on shelves now!

The story:
The people of Vista del Mar were about to pay.  Now that Rafe Cameron had made his fortune, he was out to settle old debts.  Except he hadn’t counted on running into Sarah Richards—his feisty ex-flame who was determined to put an end to his feud with their hometown.

Secretly amused that Sarah had turned into such a do-gooder, Rafe allowed himself to consider her pleas.  But nothing, not even the thawing of his own frozen heart, would make this CEO amend his plans.  Until one revelation changed everything.

Another stellar review in on  ACQUIRED: CEO’S SMALL TOWN BRIDE!
“ Catherine Mann has definitely penned another winning story. ACQUIRED: THE CEO’S SMALL-TOWN BRIDE is a rewarding story in the Takeover series, as it is overflowing with heartfelt emotions and blazingly fervent desire.” –Cataromance Reviews

~*~*~JULY BOOK~*~*~
My new “Elite Force” military series debuts in July with COVER ME, Sourcebooks Casablanca!   Book 2 (HOT ZONE) will be out in December, and book 3 (UNDER FIRE) will be out in May 2012.

The Story:
It should have been a simple mission… Pararescueman Wade Rocha parachutes from the back of a helicopter into a blizzard to save a climber stranded on an Aleutian Island, but Sunny Foster insists she can take care of herself just fine…

But when it comes to passion, nothing is ever simple… With the snowstorm kicking into overdrive, Sunny and Wade hunker down ina  cave and barely resist the urge to keep each other warm… until they discover the frozen remains of a horrific crime…

Unable to trust the shady local police, Sunny and Wade investigate, while their irresistible passion for each other gets them more and more dangerously entangled…
