Old wounds. Family ghosts. Vengeance.

Both ghosts, hit men at the top of their game, their past confrontation in Tahoe has proven they possess the skills to eliminate one another. Only Miguel’s plans run much deeper.

Vowing to reclaim Carmela’s daughter, Natalia, and raise her as his own, Miguel has struck at the heart of Nick’s family by stealing away something they love. With pressure mounting and time running out, Nick must find a way to take back what rightfully belongs to him and destroy Miguel Medina once and for all.

2021 IAA Finalist: Best Mystery

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ve been chosen as finalist in the 2021 Independent Audiobook Awards!

LEGACY OF SECRETS by Helen Starbuck was selected as a finalist for Best Mystery. This title was produced by The Audio Flow and engineered by Elysian Nightfall Studios, and they both did an amazing job.

From the Publisher: Kate Earnshaw’s father’s suicide has left many unanswered questions. The police declared it a suicide, but she can’t bring herself to believe it. The more she discovers, however, the more Kate wonders whether she ever really knew him. Her father never explained why he let his childhood home in eastern Colorado fall into ruin or why he kept the property a secret. And he never told Kate about his close friendship with Evan Hastings, the handsome and somewhat puzzling man who lives on the property near the abandoned house. 

Other families pass down their stories. The Earnshaws pass down painful riddles without answers. Kate comes from a family where unspoken secrets disappear from one generation to the next. Evan seems to have as many secrets as her father and to know more about him than she did, which hurts. But there’s something about Evan that calls her back to her father’s home. Something that threatens to unbury more than the past.

Congratulations also to the other finalists in the Best Mystery category:

  • BLUE HILL written by G. Wayne Miller, narrrated by J. Kawamoto – produced by Crossroads Press
  • DIVER’S PARADISE (A Roscoe Conklin Mystery, Book 1) written by Davin Goodwin, narrrated by Alan Carlson
  • THE POIROT COLLECTION: Books 1-3 – The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Murder on the Links, Poirot Investigates written by Agatha Christie, narrrated by P.J. Ochlan – produced by Lepton Films, LLC
  • THE WIFE LIE written by Anya Mora, narrrated by Jennifer Jill Araya – produced by Vibrance Press

I’m honored to be among this group of narrators. I can barely stand to wait for the winners to be announced at the awards ceremony on June 25th, 2021.

Check out the 2021 IAA finalists in the other categories and, if you can, give them a listen.

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

Happy audiobook release day for CABIN 3 (Steele Shadows Security Book 3) by the amazing Amanda McKinney!

This one is my favorite in the series so far. Lexi is truly a badass and so fun to narrate. A special thanks to dual narration partner Michael Reid for making us sound awesome.

Enjoy!

From the publisher:

Hidden deep in the remote mountains of Berry Springs is a private security firm where some go to escape, and others find exactly what they’ve been looking for.

Welcome to Cabin 1, Cabin 2, Cabin 3….

Businessman. CEO. Head of household. Three titles worst suited for Gunner Steele, the short tempered, reticent former Marine and rebel of the infamous Steele brothers. After an evening searching the mountains for his missing office manager, Gunner finds an undercover agent at his front door demanding protection — and that anyone but him be her bodyguard. Usually, Gunner didn’t give a damn if someone disliked him, but this particular curvy vixen had information about the man who killed his father and maimed his brother. Information he’d gladly sell his soul for…but is he willing to sell hers, too?

After failure to deliver the location of a Russian spy as slippery as a bowl of borscht, Lexi York is fresh out of a job and a near-death experience when she seeks refuge at Steele Shadows, despite her disdain for the tattooed bad boy, Gunner Steele. At her wit’s end, Lexi devises a plan to use Gunner to get her job back, but what she hadn’t planned on was developing feelings for the tortured soul she could never tame.

Unwilling to make promises he can’t keep, Gunner is faced with the biggest decision of his life. Avenge his family, or throw away the only woman who’s cracked open his shielded heart?

 

The audiobook for CABIN 3 is available exclusively on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.

New Release: REDEMPTION

I’m excited to announce a new audiobook release in the thriller and suspense genres: REDEMPTION by Stephanie Baldi.

I met Stephanie in Atlanta at the Atlanta Writer’s Club meeting held in February, where I spoke about all-things-audiobooks. We had a lovely dinner together and talked all about life and creating the audiobook for her first novel, REDEMPTION. Back then it was just in the beginning stages of narration, and now it’s complete! I hope I did it justice!

 

From the Publisher:

New Release: CABIN 2

Another romantic suspense is ready for your listening pleasure. 😉

Happy release day of CABIN 2 (Steele Shadows Security Book 2) by the amazing Amanda McKinney is now available on audio! Thanks to dual narration partner Michael Reid for making us sound awesome.

 

Enjoy!

 

From the publisher:

 

From best-selling and multi-award-winning romantic suspense author Amanda McKinney comes the second book in the steamy, edge-of-your-seat, three-part series Steele Shadows Security.

Hidden deep in the remote mountains of Berry Springs is a private security firm where some go to escape, and others find exactly what they’ve been looking for. Welcome to cabin one, cabin two, cabin three. 

Always be prepared – that was Axel Steele’s motto. While his brothers were throwing down at the local bar, Ax was the guy in the background devising the getaway plan. Dubbed “the smart one”, the former special-ops Marine believed in structure and routine, a way of life the universe seemed hellbent on challenging.

Amidst a firestorm of family drama, Ax finds a woman held captive in the middle of the woods and in desperate need of his help. With an armful of tattoos as colorful as her attitude, his new client is his antithesis – a free-spirited, spontaneous hippie who tests every bit of his patience…and his self-restraint.

Erika Zajac has been living life on her own terms since she was just 16. But her gypsy lifestyle came to a screeching halt when the horrific past she’d tried so hard to bury came back in the form of chains and cuffs. 

Suddenly, Erika finds herself under the security – and scrutiny – of a temperamental bodyguard with the emotional capacity of a rock and a six-pack to match. But no amount of brains or brawn was going to distract her from her goal or the secrets she’d kill to keep.

Deceit, lies, wrath. Ax’s client had them all. The only question was, which of Erika’s deadly sins would she choose? Revenge…or him? 

 

The audiobook for CABIN 2 is available exclusively on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.

New Release: CABIN 1

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks
Another romantic suspense hit audio “shelves” recently!
I’m so excited to announce that the audiobook for CABIN 1 (Steele Shadows Security Book 1) by the amazing Amanda McKinney is now released! Thanks to dual narration partner Michael Reid for making us sound awesome.

From the publisher:

From best-selling and multi-award-winning romantic suspense author Amanda McKinney comes the first book in the steamy, edge-of-your-seat three-part series Steele Shadows Security.

Hidden deep in the remote mountains of Berry Springs is a private security firm, where some go to escape, and others find exactly what they’ve been looking for. Welcome to Cabin 1, Cabin 2, and Cabin 3.

Cocky, reckless, and die-hard playboy are just a few of the names Gage Steele has been called since he and his brothers left the Marines and moved back to the small, southern town of Berry Springs to take over their father’s personal security firm.

On the one-year anniversary of his father’s death, Gage had only two things in mind: endless whiskey and endless women. But what he got was a battered, bruised spitfire stumbling through woods in the middle of the night.

Newly appointed prosecutor and unapologetic workaholic Niki Avery has spent her life working toward one goal: never to have to depend on anyone but herself. Until the day she gets brutally attacked on the side of the road.

Stripped of her Louis Vuitton and her dignity, the fiercely independent ADA must submit to being under the watchful eye of a former Marine – a loose cannon with a temper as scorching as his ruggedly handsome good looks.

As cracks begin to show in the Steele family, including newly discovered evidence that their father’s death was no accident, Gage wrestles with his growing feelings for his client, knowing not only that Niki is off-limits, but together, they were like gasoline and fire. An explosion he wanted nothing more than to ignite in the bedroom.

But when a pair of bloody body parts show up at the compound, it becomes clear that Niki’s attacker hasn’t given up, and Gage realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe…even as his own family is spiraling out of control.

Cabin 1 is the first book in the three-part Berry Springs spin-off series Steele Shadows Security. Think of it as Berry Springs’ darker, grittier, steamier, bad buy brother.

Please note: You do not need to listen to the Berry Springs Series first. 

The audiobook for CABIN 1 is available exclusively on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.
