PIVOT
An interesting Concept
PIVOT by Kat Martin, Alexandra Ivy, & Rebecca Zanetti
(Zebra MM/April 2020/978-1-4201-5114-5)
“The three novellas featured in this high-octane romantic suspense anthology form a captivating whole…Remarkable tonal consistency and interlocking elements ensure that these twisty, sizzling love stories flow seamlessly together. Readers won’t want to put this one down.” – Publishers Weekly
“The novellas are loosely connected, set during roughly the same time period and sharing some characters and plot threads. Each story can be read in a single sitting and contains a complete arc for its characters that is both believable and engaging, despite the shorter format…This anthology is perfect for readers of romantic suspense who are looking for more from the included authors or for introductions to writers who are sure to become future favorites.” – Library Journal
My
upcoming release, PIVOT, began as a novella that I wrote to sometime back to introduce
my BOSS Inc. series. Ian Brodie was the
owner of the security firm, a tall, good-looking blond man, one of the Brodie
cousins. The novella was AGAINST THE
HEART, a Romantic Suspense set in a rural area of Spokane, Washington.
A
year ago, Alicia Condon, my editor at Kensington, came to me with an idea for a
collaborative novel that would include novellas by two other authors. Their stories would revolve around Ian Brodie
and Meriwether Jones, the hero and heroine of AGAINST the HEART. The idea intrigued me and we decided to go
forward.
Alexandra
Ivy and Rebecca Zanetti, both bestselling authors of Romantic Suspense, came on
board and started writing, taking sub characters from Ian and Meri’s story,
telling their own stories, and giving us a glimpse of Ian and Meri’s life going
forward.
In
PIVOT, Alexandra and Rebecca started with the premise that the three girls
involved in the stories shared brutal childhoods and grew up together in foster
care.
Now as women, they’re fighting for their lives again.
When Meriwether Jones and her young daughter run from
trouble in L.A., that trouble follows. By the time Meri reaches Spokane, she’s
out of gas, money, and ideas. Then her
prayers are answered when ex-cop Ian Brodie hires her to help his aging father.
But Meri is keeping a dangerous secret—-and
Ian is in danger of losing his heart.
Melanie Cassidy finds trouble when she tries to save a young boy
from being kidnapped. The last thing she expects is former love-of-her-life, Detective
Gray Hawkins, to appear and rescue them both. But her good-Samaritan efforts pull her and
Gray into a conspiracy of drug dealers and dirty cops—-and forces them to
examine the relationship they’d once abandoned.
Michelle Peach is one of Meri’s closet friends. She is finally content in Portland—-until two rough men break into her home and threaten her life. The last person Michelle wants to see is Evan Boldon, a former Marine turned sheriff. But this time Evan is going to stop the trouble stalking Michelle-—and win her heart for good.

I
hope you’ll give this fun read a try. And
if you haven’t read the BOSS Inc. series, INTO THE FURY, INTO THE WHIRLWIND,
and INTO THE FIRESTORM, I hope you will.
Till next time, happy reading and all best, Kat
PIVOT EXCERPT
He
hammered in another nail, looked up to see Meriwether Jones running toward
him. With the sun highlighting the gold
in her dark hair, damn she was pretty.
"What is it?"
"I
can't find Lily. She isn't in your
room."
Ian
dropped the hammer and started back toward the house, Meri hurrying along
beside him.
"She
never does this. She always stays where
you tell her."
They
shoved through the back door together, walked through the mudroom. It took a moment for him to register that the
dishes were all washed and put away, the countertops wiped clean. He caught the scent of Lysol as he made his
way toward the stairs.
"Lily!"
he called out. "Lily, where are
you?" They went upstairs and
searched his bedroom, then the other two upstairs rooms and both baths. No sign of Lily.
His worry kicked up as they headed back downstairs and he strode
into the den. "Dad, Lily is
missing."
