RELEASE DAY PARTY & GIVEAWAYS FOR DANGEROUS TO HER!

UPDATE: I'VE EMAILED EVERYONE THEIR E-BOOK OF CHOICE AND WILL BE SENDING OUT THE CHARMS AND PRIZES SOON!   WINNERS OF PRIZES LISTED BELOW! :)

Today, my debut novel with Harlequin Romantic Suspense is out!  This line, formerly Silhouette Intimate Moments, has so many wonderful authors, including Kylie Brant, Nina Bruhns, Kathleen Creighton, Carla Cassidy, Gail Barrett, Elle James and, Karen Anders, all ladies I got to hang out with in New York this summer!   

When I began writing, it was always my goal to write both single titles and category books.  I grew up reading both of them and I love the advantages/intricacies of both.  With DTH, my dream has come true!  In addition to writing for HRS, I write paranormal romantic suspense for Berkley and will be launching a single title romantic suspense series for HQN in June 2012.  Now on to the next dream... LOL

Thanks for stopping by to celebrate the release of Dangerous To Her.  It's gotten some great reviews so far! 

CataRomance gave it 4.5 stars: 

"The first Harlequin romantic suspense release from Virna DePaul proves this author has a very successful career ahead of her. With an intriguing plot and spirited characters, DANGEROUS TO HER not only entertains but keeps you riveted until every secret is uncovered."

And Among The Muses also gave it a 4.5 rating, saying: 

"Virna DePaul is quickly proving that when it comes to creating dynamic characters, she holds nothing back...This is a story sure to delight romantic suspense fans who love dynamic characters, a life-like plot line driven by criminal law, that includes a heated passion and unforgettable love and the characters desperately try to fight for both their lives and the people they love. Enjoy!"

"I'm not afraid anymore."

For years, court reporter Mattie Nolan kept her child a secret. The man she once loved chose his dangerous job—undercover cop—over her. But now, Sacramento detective Dom Jeffries is all that's standing between her and the drug kingpin set on revenge against everyone who put him away. Including Mattie.

Though teetering on the edge of burnout, Dom goes undercover as a bailiff in Mattie's courtroom. While he pretends not to remember her, thoughts of her touch, her smell and the smile that had been his alone keep resurfacing. Then he uncovers the secret she's protecting. To save the daughter he's never known and the woman he's never forgotten, Dom's ready to sacrifice not just his job, but his life…
