I have read these out of order and I don’t think it hurt me at all, but now that I see these I can hardly wait to dive in.

This is from the novella, Death Rites, Book 3 in the Kate Jones Thriller Series.

I opened my eyes to the dark and froze, every nerve alert.

Someone’s in my room.

Barely breathing, I strained to listen, calculating how to get to the gun under the mattress. Before I could make a move, a gloved hand clamped down on my mouth and a hooded figure straddled me, pinning my arms to the bed. I struggled to push him off, but he outweighed me by a good fifty pounds. Another set of hands slapped tape over my mouth, muffling my screams.

SYNOPSIS

Like action? Adventure? Then you’ll love Kate Jones! This box set contains the first four novellas in the bestselling Kate Jones Thriller Series (don’t forget to pick up the rest of the series, on sale through 9/13!):

BAD SPIRITS (Books 1-5): Kate Jones is on the run with a backpack full of money, intent on finding her way back to the United States from Mexico. Unfortunately, a ruthless drug lord named Salazar is just as intent on finding her, retrieving his stolen money, and making her pay for ever having left him. Is there anyone she can trust?

DEAD OF WINTER: Kate is hiding out in small town Alaska when she witnesses an execution-style murder. Convinced the killers are Salazar’s men and desperate to stop them from finding her, she reports the crime to local law enforcement, hoping to put them off her trail so she can escape.

What she gets is Sam, an enigmatic cop with a mysterious past who’s been assigned to watch over her as the hunt for the killers deepens.

Sam and Kate’s obvious attraction to each other becomes a dangerous complication as Kate realizes the only way she can stay alive is to keep one step ahead of Salazar.

DEATH RITES: When Kate has to leave Alaska (and Sam) behind, she runs to the last place she remembers feeling safe: the North Shore of Oahu. Against her better judgment, she re-establishes old connections and soon faces a new problem in Alek, a gifted carver and avid surfer.

When a brutal murder and theft of a priceless artifact from a museum is discovered, Kate’s thrown into the middle of what appears to be a violent ancient sect come to life. Her only chance of survival is to rely on her wits…

…and the ancient gods of Hawaii.

TOURING FOR DEATH: Hiding out from her shady past driving jeep tours through the rugged high desert of northern Arizona, Kate Jones is determined to stop looking over her shoulder and find peace from her mistake of a gun-toting, former life. Testifying against a Mexican drug lord and a dirty DEA agent didn’t turn out to be a life enhancing choice and she’s been on the move ever since.

Now, five years have passed with no sign of trouble and Kate’s finally starting to believe she’s safe. Her current goal is to make enough money so she can get lost in the tropics when the tourist trade dies off. Unfortunately, it’s the tourists that are dying off and she may be next.

“…Great story, fast-paced, quick read and all around fun!”

“…it’s a non-stop thrill ride…”

“…It’s fast-paced from the get-go and the action continues through to the end. This is how I like my books!”
