While fighting the War on Drugs in Latin America, Marine Brody Teller was involved in an accident that left him with a supernatural power: a deep connection to the sea and the ability to control it.
When the mysterious Joe Smith approaches him with an incredible job offer, Brody thinks it’s too good to be true. His life-saving need and his desire to be near the ocean while earning a living are rolled into one perfect job.
Rayna Lopez lives a quiet life as she tries to climb her way up the CIA ladder, always in fear the government will learn of her family lineage. When her father asks for help getting her famous and belligerent half-sister out of trouble, Rayna reluctantly agrees to travel with her and they board a yacht where they will be protected.
Brody and Rayna realize they’ve met before, and despite a significant lack of trust between them, they face an attraction neither can deny. As they fight to keep Rayna’s sister alive, lies are revealed and secrets are told. They must both learn to trust each other, and—if they live through their voyage—figure out what to do about their whirlwind romance.

Taking a deep breath through her snorkel, she looked back at the fish. Reds, yellows, and blues . . . it seemed every color of the rainbow was represented on swarm of beauty before her. About ten feet away, Margarita let go of another handful of cat food, and the fish teemed around her as they fed. Rayna found it mildly amusing that the fish seemed to adore the cat food, and cats loved fish.
She glanced over at Brody again, and he motioned her to follow him. She caught up with him, and they swam together, the sun warming her back. When they were out of range from Margarita and Jason, Brody laced his fingers with hers.
Rayna looked up and saw they were headed for the caves. Katie had said the fish inhabiting them were different, and Rayna looked forward to the exploration.
As they entered the cave, the light waned, but Rayna caught movement out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see a thin, dark, four-foot long fish emerge from the darkness. She gasped and grabbed Brody’s arm as the fish swam out of the cave.
Rayna lifted her head, and Brody did the same.
“That was a barracuda,” he said after removing his mouthpiece.
“That thing was huge!” Rayna exclaimed, her heart still pounding with fear.
Brody chuckled and pulled her close to him, removing his mask, and then hers. “Is Ms. Hot CIA afraid of a little fish?”
Rayna laced her arms around his neck, thankful the ocean gave them such buoyancy. “Yes,” she murmured, as he peppered her neck with slow kisses.
“Don’t worry about him,” Brody whispered, his voice barely audible over the waves lapping at the rocks in the cave. “Barracudas don’t like humans. He has no desire to nibble on your toes. Now on the other hand, I’m a different story. I want to lick, suck, and nibble every inch of you. If there’s anything you should worry about, it’s me.”
Rayna laughed despite the bolts of heat coursing through her. Her heart still pounded, but she knew it was from Brody’s touch, not fear. His lips met hers in slow exploration.
“So I should actually be worried about my Captain who has promised to protect me?” she teased.
“Oh, yes, Rayna,” he whispered in her ear. “You should be very worried about what I plan to do with you.
By Sea has been described as "amazing and suspense filled storyline about betrayal, government secrets and finding love."

Our Author Interview
What would you have done differently if you were the main character of your book ?
If I were the main character in my book (Marine Brody Teller), I wouldn’t have been so rude to Rayna Lopez (CIA agent) the first time I met her. If that had been the case, he would have gotten her in to bed a lot sooner.
What was your inspiration behind this book?
I had many inspirations: yachts, dolphins, the ocean and the Virgin Islands
Why did you become a writer?
I think I’ve always been an author, even before I could write. I remember sitting in my room playing Barbies, but they didn’t often speak to each other. Instead, I spoke their actions out loud as I played.
Do you have a favorite author or authors?
This is a hard question as I love so many genres and so many authors. I think my top favorite is John Sanford.
Do you like to write your books in a continuing series?
I do enjoy writing a series. I like the idea of taking a group of people and telling each story in a separate book.
If you could date any character from any book, who would it be and why?
This is also a hard question. I have 15 book published, and I love each of my heroes for different reasons. Can I date all of them?
What kinds of books do you like to read in your spare time?
I think the question should be, what spare time?? LOL! I do enjoy action/adventure books, and of course, I like romance. If I’m feeling particularly naughty, I’ll pick up some erotica. I’m pretty flexible.
As a reader and writer I think it is important to get to know your fans and make a connection with them as an author who takes the extra step to hear what their fans think and want in their continued writing is continued success and key to selling more books .Do you agree with that?
To a certain extent. I think what my reader’s think about my books is important, and I’m always open to constructive criticism. However, I also feel that if an author doesn’t write for themselves, they are also doing their reader’s a disservice. It’s a balancing act.
Do you cry when writing sad scenes?
I have had only one super sad scene in one of my books, and I cried like a baby. In the scene, a beloved character died, and after finishing it, I felt like I had lost a member of my family.
Did you have a Cover Designer?
I have cover designers for all my books. For By Sea, it was PJ Friel
Who is your fictional boyfriend or girlfriend crush?
John Sanford’s Lucas Davenport. I’ve been in love with him for years, and I can’t find anyone to top him, except maybe Lee Child’s Jack Reacher.
If you were able to dine and have a one on one with your favorite writer/author who would it be?
I think it would have to be John Sanford.
Do just re-read your favorite books?
I don’t recall ever re-reading a book, no matter how much I loved it.
Do you ever get in a reading slump like your readers do?
Of course! I have started countless books and not been able to get into them, despite the rave reviews. Other times, nothing I look at appeals to me.
What is the funniest book you ever read?
I think the funniest book I’ve read in the past few months is V-Card by Alicia Michaels.
