Prince Charming Undercover by Debra Salonen
About Prince Charming Undercover by Debra Salonen
Four sisters named after royalty, with dowries fit for a queen. Their Gypsy fortuneteller mother predicted each would marry a prince…of sorts.
She’s a princess with more to lose than her dowry.
Las Vegas restaurateur Grace Parlier doesn’t gamble, but she’s risking her dowry on a new business with her late father’s friend because casino owner Charles Harmon has what she wants: location, location, location. The money may have been earmarked for a wedding, but everyone knows Grace has terrible taste in men. Look at the way her heart races every time her family’s latest Romani rescue comes close. But how could an ex-con from Detroit possibly be the prince she was meant to marry?
He’s a Detroit cop with no skin in the game—or so he wants to believe.
Nick Lightner goes undercover in Vegas for one reason only: to take down scumbag Charles Harmon. Does he believe Lucky Chuck is a human serpent threatening his birth father’s family? Hell, no. Nick knows who he is and where his allegiance lies. Certainly not with a sexy “princess” who makes the few drops of Romani blood in his veins run hotter than a winning streak at the craps table. His heart maintains a safe distance…until the princess takes a bullet meant for him, then all bets are off.
Book I in the Betting On Love series, FREE until 12/15/18, when it returns to its regular price of $4.99.

She chose to set her Betting On Love series in Las Vegas because that’s where her parents retired. Although Deb insists she’s not a gambler, she is an author and what bigger risk is there than self-publishing?

His First and Last
At eighteen, Lorelei Pratchett couldn’t wait to get out of her hometown. Twelve years later, her Hollywood dreams have fizzled and she’s back—temporarily, she thinks. Though she throws herself into saving the old theater and starting a baking business, small towns have long memories, and Lorelei’s wild past still haunts her. It doesn’t help that her ex-boyfriend, Spencer Boyd, is even hotter, smarter, and more distracting than before.
The fiery Lorelei that Spencer knew years ago may have become closed off and cautious, but their chemistry hasn’t faded one bit. Losing her a second time is unthinkable to him, yet Lorelei is convinced she doesn’t belong in Ardent Springs. Somehow, Spencer needs to show her that everything she needs is right here: family, friendship, new beginnings…and a man who’s never stopped loving her.
Warm, sexy, and laugh-out-loud funny, His First and Last is an irresistible story of first love and second chances.

Her debut novel was released a year later. Terri resides in Middle Tennessee with her teenage daughter and a menagerie of high-maintenance pets.

Twin Souls
Enrique Ricardo “Rico” Zayas, known among the SEALs as Ghost, has an unencumbered life; living like a nomad. His life is all about the military, about his SEAL mates and about executing the next assignment. With dark emotionless eyes, others who come into contact with him often only encounter the cold and menacing side of him. But then he is suddenly the joint-guardian of a teenager and his life is never the same again.
Rico feels anything but cold when he returns from his frequent overseas missions and his ward is no longer the teenager he left behind. Used to functioning as the government’s cold deadly weapon, the formidable Ghost was finding it impossible to maintain his usual detached façade in the face of the bliss her love promised. He is blindsided by her effect on him. Despite the paranormal chemistry between them threatening to erode his good intentions, Rico is determined to resist the temptation she embodies.
Orphaned as a toddler, Cherone Bouchard is doing everything she can to survive her elder siblings’ tyranny. But just as she thinks all is lost, she is rescued by her brother’s SEAL teammates to fulfill his dying wish. Still a teenager, the five SEAL members become her guardians. But Cherone does not make the mistake of thinking of them as her parents, especially not the youngest SEAL, Rico.

The first romance novel I ever read was Cinderella! I devoured Disney’s version of romance until I was eleven, and then I discovered Mills & Boons. In those days kissing was the most explicit intimacy disclosed: the hero and heroine went to bed and came out the next day with smiles! I had no idea what happened, but I was intrigued. My mom had shelves and shelves of them. Over the long summer breaks, I barely left my bedroom! My busy parent had no idea what I was up to. I’ve always been fascinated with love stories. I started writing in college, but I never expected anyone would ever read my whimsical musings. LOL! Now years later, after husband and kids, and a solid career in finance I’ve started publishing those early ideas.

With help from ex-sumo wrestler Sakaguchi, Hiroshi searches for the killer from Tokyo’s back alley bars to government offices, through anti-nuke protests to the gates of an American naval base. When two more bodies turn up, Hiroshi must choose between desire and duty, violence or procedure, before the killer silences his next victim—and the past.
