All Due Respect
by Vicki Hinze

Dr. Julia Warner-Hyde must return to a life in the covert world of Air Force missile technology that she once had fled in terror, stalked by an abusive husband. But her safe, quiet life is shattered when her former partner, Dr. Seth Holt, asks for help. The Rogue missile system Julia and Seth designed has fallen into terrorist hands. Julia must join Seth in a critical race to prevent the ultimate nightmare. And she must revisit her own private hell: the abusive husband who won't let go. Julia and Seth, fellow warriors who've suffered the worst life has to offer, must breach the highest security risks of all to know the best life has to offer. They must trust. And then, if they dare, if they have ALL DUE RESPECT, to love.



Vicki Hinze's Bio

Vicki Hinze has written fourteen novels for Bantam, St. Martin's Press, Pinnacle, and Silhouette, and one nonfiction book for Spilled Candy Books. She's an active lecturer on the writing craft and the business of writing, sponsors the Aids4Writers mentoring program, and the Edna Sampson Benevolence Fund to assist writers in financial straits.

Her first book was an award-winning bestseller published in nearly a dozen foreign countries. Subsequent books have won numerous awards, including the Maggie Award for Excellence, Daphne de Maurier for Mainstream/Suspense, been nominated for Best Suspense, Best Romantic Suspense, Best Mainstream Romance of the Year. Vicki has been nominated for Career Achievement Awards and multiple Service Awards. She deeply appreciates them all, but there have been two highlights in her career that stand heads above all others.

The first came in 2000, when AP ran a front-page photo in newspapers of a soldier in Kandahar who hadn't made it home for Christmas. He was reading a copy of Vicki's ACTS OF HONOR. That day, he knew what he was doing was appreciated, that it mattered. He knew that he mattered. This is the reason Vicki writes her military books.

The second highlight came when an abuse victim phoned her unexpectedly, saying that she had lost her way due to a suicide in the family, and that in reading MAYBE THIS TIME, she had found her path again-a way she could heal and go on living.

"As a writer," Vicki says, "I discovered in those rare and privileged moments that life just doesn't get much better than this."
