FOR THOSE WHO LOVE A PURE ROMANCE NOVEL

 

 

MODELS AND LOVERS is a love story blossoming inside the world of modeling. In spite of the glamour and intrigue of this high fashion world, love is really about one guy and one girl finding each other. But wait, there is one more condition--they have to admit it to each other.

 

My latest novel

 

INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING NOVELIST JOHNNY RAY has written an action and adventure filled novel filled with romance and suspense that follows up on his previous best selling contemporary romance novel HER HONOR'S BODYGUARD. With so many people asking for more, Johnny Ray decided to extend these contemporary romance and take Vance and Noella on to Europe where they have to solve a mystery in order to gain their freedom and to be able to share their life together as husband and wife. This is one crime, a family secret, that will test every ounce of their love for each other, and hopefully will not tear their families apart. 

 

 

Noella had thought they had stopped the stalkers, and several corrupt governmental factions who wanted her to step down from being a judge. That is until the treats reappeared. Vance, her bodyguard turned fiancée also thought so. But then again, many secrets are still hidden deep inside a safety deposit box in Switzerland. While going to receive Vance's inheritance in Zurich could be a dream vacation for this now engaged couple, who only want to work out some serious conflicts in their wedding and careers, sinister politicians and crooked cops have other plans waiting for them in Europe.

 

This is one mixture of contemporary romance and a murder mystery you will not want to miss.

 

 

 

Do first loves ever really die?

 

 While reunions can take many forms, there is always one question that has to be answered sooner or later-what happened? Vance had always been extremely proud of Noella, and just because his life had been ruined, he saw no reason why she had to have the same faith.

 

When his dad died, leaving him and his mother penniless, he dropped out of law school and ended his relationship with Noella, but in doing so, he stopped a scandal that could have ruined her family. These secrets he would never let her know. Ironically, years later, he would have never guessed she would be instrumental in ruining his career with the Tampa police force. She knows that Vance might hate her for her part in having him dismissed from the police force, but what he will never know is that she actually saved him from going to prison. Additionally, she now thinks he was framed, and perhaps by the same people who are threatening her.

 

 She had to talk him into taking her on as a client . . . but would he agree to her request? As the number of attacks on her life increases, Vance soon has no choice but to offer her his protection, and in spite of everything, when they see each other again their old attraction for each other returns.

 

 She wants the truth. He wants the truth. However, making the ultimate sacrifice is not always easy to understand, whether given or received. Ultimately . . . could they now trust each other with these secrets? While their lives depend on discovering the truth to their past, these truths are locked in deep secrets that could also destroy them.

 

FOR LOVE AND VENGEANCE

 

 

An International romantic thriller that you will never forget. FOR LOVE AND VENGEANCE When everyone lies to you-trust your gut instinct If that fails-start over For your love deserves the best And murderous terrorist your vengeance May God have mercy on their soul Both the Americans and the Russians think Victoria works for them exclusively. In truth; the Pack, an International Crime Syndicate, brutally controls her while they launder money in America by buying distressed houses for terrorist sleepers.

 

 While she executes the perfect escape, staging her death during a shark attack, she makes one mistake-she meets Royce, who worked as a special operative several years earlier, the night before disappearing. Royce, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with any American led special operations after he had been lied to in order to keep him focus on his prior mission. His girlfriend had been abducted and brutally murdered earlier while they had kept him in the dark. The last thing he had ever expected was another woman in his life, especially a Russian spy. Furthermore, he never would have believed that she would be the one thing that would encourage him to finish a mission that he should have taken care of the first time.

 

 Royce is well trained on how to discover the truth, so although Victoria's apparent shark attack was well conceived he knows better. He had used the life of a surfer bum for years as his cover. The more lies he uncovers, the more suspicious he becomes until finally he feels like he has little choice.

 

 His prior operation was so top secret even the CIA were told nothing He didn't need them then, and he sure the hell didn't need them this time either. The last time it was for country-this time it was going to be personal.

This intense international thriller is a work of fiction packed with action and adventure where Matalina heads the elite special forces of Baltonia, a small country near Switzerland, and where the Maliviziati maintain their secret society that opposes the Illuminati’s various splinter groups that want to create a new world order.

 

 While she directs the most powerful special operatives in the world, she is very capable of going solo when needed. She was bred like her parents and theirs before to be the best warrior in the world. Unfortunately, her chosen mate, Bjorn, has turned against them, killing her sister in the process. She loved him earlier, and perhaps she still does. Still, when she finds him, she will kill him.

 

 When a new faction attempts to release drones in America, Matalina has to respond to keep this from playing into the hands of those wanting to create a new world order. She soon learns that the leader of this group is one of Bjorn’s operatives, Mario, a guy she should kill, but he is also the one person she needs to take alive to be able to locate Bjorn.

 

 With mercenaries flown in from Columbia to help this terrorist faction which was formed out of Afghanistan, this novel circles the globe as many players fight for eventual control of the world.
