New Release Deadly Secrets

by Margaret Daley

My new release this month is DEADLY SECRETS, the 10th romantic suspense and last book in my Strong Women, Extraordinary Situations Series. I was excited about the premise of this story. I wanted to have a story about a past relationship that ended when the heroine left the hero at the altar. What would make a woman leave the man she loved the day she was to marry him? Then I wanted to explore what would happen when years later they would have to work together to save several kidnapped women—one the heroine’s niece. This story is charged with a lot of emotions and fast, heart pounding action.

DEADLY SECRETS was hard to write. I had to dig down emotionally to show the tough path both the heroine and hero went through. But also, I had to keep the suspense and action going at the same time. I felt as though I went through the wringer. By the time I finished the story, I was mentally exhausted and so ready to take some time off to fuel my creativity.

And I did take five days off. I’d planned on going longer than that. But yesterday a seed of an idea came to me for the first book in my new series—Everyday Heroes. The idea won’t let me not think about the story. I can picture the opening scene clearly as though I was witnessing what happened in front of me. So the cycle begins again.
