Anna Bradley

I've been a very busy writer this year!

My 3rd book in 2024 will come out in September - a Christmas book!

THE DUKE'S CHRISTMAS BRIDE (9/24) joins my two other 2024 titles, DAMNED IF I DUKE and HERE COMES MY EARL.

If you read them, drop me a note at annabradley.net to let me know what you think!

THE DUKE'S CHRISTMAS BRIDE

Set against the Bridgerton-era backdrop of Regency London, Anna Bradley's witty and sexy trilogy sets fiercely alpha dukes against the duchesses who are determined to transform their delinquent husbands by any means necessary. A delight for fans of Mary Jo Putney, Sabrina Jeffries, Ella Quinn, Diana Quincy and Julia Quinn.

Alarmed by the sound of an intruder, Rose St. Claire fetches her pistol. She's shocked to discover that the trespasser is a handsome gentleman---one who states that the house, which Rose recently inherited from her late benefactor, was stolen from his father decades ago. He claims it is now his. And it is---but not entirely. As it turns out, Hammond Court has been left to them both---and neither can evict the other without forfeiting their right to the property . . .

Happy reading!

Time whizzing past

Time goes by so fast. How is it July?! Recently, I took SONG OF THE STARLINGS on its first book tour. I had so much fun visiting the Goulburn Valley Libraries and met so many awesome readers, both old and new. The enthusiasm and warmth of the community were truly heartwarming, and it's always a pleasure to connect with readers face-to-face. Their feedback and support inspire me to keep writing. I can't wait to tour the book in the USA in August and September! It's going to be an exciting adventure, and I'm looking forward to meeting even more readers and sharing my work with a broader audience.  I'll be at Killer Nashville and Boucheron. Would love to you see! You can see all of my upcoming events here.

Connie Mann

THE CROWN CONSPIRACY is out in the world and I'm absolutely thrilled by the response!

I can't wait for you to meet Sophie, Mac and the whole Speranza Team!

Sophie's an expert at spotting a forgery--and knowing how to create one. But can she solve a decades-old mystery, outwit ruthless treasure hunters, and rescue her best friend---before time runs out?

I love this review from PJ Ausdenmore on The Romance Dish Blog:

"Do yourself a favor. Don't begin reading this book at night unless you have a burning desire to still be awake when the sun rises the next morning. Or you're a speed reader in which case you'll only be awake half the night.

"Connie Mann has created a compelling, immersive, high-intensity thriller that reeled me in and refused to let go. Reading this book was like watching a movie in my mind; a high-stakes, dangerous, adventure-packed game of cat and mouse that plays out from glittering German ballrooms to high-speed boat races along Venetian canals to isolated mountain cottages to royal castles. I could not put it down."

A brief excerpt from POINTS OF ATTACK, the third Mahoney & Squire Military novel, just released:

Dr. Troy Pearson treats an influx of sick children in the otherwise placid medical clinic at the US Navy base in Chinhae, South Korea:

The alarms in Troy's head burst into full cacophony. He turned to the senior corpsman. "Get Melissa into a bed right away so I can examine her."

He addressed the other corpsman. "Monitor Georgie. Call me if anything changes."

The clinic's front door opened. Another distraught mother carried a limp young boy in her arms.

"First grader?" Troy asked.

The mother nodded, confusion overtaking distress. "He can't walk."

Troy had no more treatment rooms, so he pointed to a chair in the waiting area. "I'll be right with you."

He went to the front desk and spoke to Mrs. Moon. "Call the base commander. Tell him I can't get away from my patients right now, but I need him to trust me. He must close the base school. Now. No students or teachers should enter or leave that place until I figure out what's happening."

"Doctor!" The female corpsman's voice shrieked from the main treatment room. "Georgie stopped breathing!"
