KING'S RANSOM: News from Suz Brockmann 2018 08 07

Hero: Navy SEAL LT (jg) Thomas KingHeroine: Tasha FranciscoTall, Dark & Dangerous #13.The book that readers have been waiting for.In Frisco's Kid, Tasha was a strong-willed, independent child, temporarily living with her uncle, Alan "Frisco" Francisco, a Navy SEAL with a knee injury that had forced his retirement from the Teams.Ten years older, but still just a kid himself, Thomas King lived nearby, and was friends with Mia, the woman who would win Alan's heart, and help raise Tasha.Years ago, Tasha took one look at Thomas and declared that she would marry him someday...Thomas wasn't quite so sure about that...But now Tasha's twenty-one and a strong-willed, independent young woman, and Thomas has been a Navy SEAL himself--and a hospital corpsman, focusing on saving lives--for quite a few years.Tasha's Uncle Alan asks Thomas for a favor--to keep his niece safe as she goes on vacation with her college boyfriend, who is an actual prince from a small European nation. Thomas grimly accepts his role as Tasha's bodyguard so she can meet her boyfriend's royal family, but then things go horribly, terribly wrong, and he and Tash find themselves alone together, on the run from dangerous men who want her dead...And Thomas knows only one thing: He will sacrifice everything to keep Tasha safe.

Soooo.....I'm still undecided about the final draft of King's Ransom's cover! I've got a poll going over on Twitter, and a less structured "What's your fav cover...?" post on Facebook. Feel free to join the conversation!Here are the three options:

A) Walking, in sunshine -------------->B) Walking, in shadow----------------->C) Running----------------->P.S. Cover art designed by the amazing Scott Fowler, and I'm pretty sure you recognize my actor friend, David Singletary, who is playing LT (jg) Thomas King. (I told him to channel Captain America for the running shots, and man, did he bring it!)(Also: David will be playing a character named Carl in OUT OF BODY!!
