Maria Elena, welcome to The Daille-y News!

Readers, here’s a peek at Maria Elena’s latest Romantic Suspense release:

Who ever thought a coin could get you killed?

A cunning killer trusted his secret was safe, an innocent woman holds the key to his destruction, and an intelligence officer must keep her alive before the madman can strike the fatal blow.

When Gabriela Martinez finds a mysterious coin in the French Riviera, she is thrust into a struggle between governments, terrorists, and madmen, all seeking knowledge she doesn’t know she has. Richard Harrison, the intelligence officer assigned to protect her, has all he can do to keep her safe. But when the psychological games to terrorize Gabriela escalate beyond his control, Richard must find a solution, if not, it may be too late for them both.

Set in the exotic French Riviera, The Coin is a story of hatred, betrayal, love and duty—of terrible and painful choices that, nonetheless, bring about personal triumph.

Excerpt:

“Are you insane?” Richard’s whisper was rough. “This could be a set up.”

“And allow this sack of refuse to violate my home undisturbed?” She pushed at him. “No way.”

“Listen.” Richard refused to budge. “We are at a slight disadvantage here. I don’t have a gun.”

“But I have knives. The kitchen is at the end of this room, remember?”

Richard looked at her stubborn jaw, her defiant eyes, and could not decide whether to admire her for her courage or to scoff at her utter lack of common survival sense. “You stick to me…”

“Like flypaper.”

He kept a grin from surfacing. “Stay behind.”

Richard scanned the living room quickly. His eyes roamed across the thick rock wall, the furnishings, the chimney, and the stairs. The house felt empty. Like Siamese twins, they quietly crossed the room. Nothing. No one. Without a sound, Gabriela scooted into the kitchen and came out with the marble rolling pin she had used that morning to prepare the quiche. Richard’s eyebrow lifted. She shrugged and slapped the pin on her palm. She didn’t care what he thought. A weapon was a weapon, even if it was created for other uses. They climbed the stairs silently.

Author Bio:

Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is a romantic suspense author with a unique point of view. Her adventure novels take place in locales across Europe and the United States, reflecting her international upbringing and extensive time as a global traveler. In her duology, The Coin and The Book of Hours, her characters, Gabriela and Richard, walk the same paths as their creator, though her life was never in so much danger.

Ms. Alonso-Sierra’s writing career began circa age thirteen with a very juvenile science fiction short story, but the writing bug hit, and she has been writing, in one capacity or another, ever since. She has worked as a professional dancer, singer, journalist, and literature teacher (and not necessarily in that order—she likes variety) and holds a Masters in English literature. She loves to hear from readers and, when not writing, roams around to discover new places to set her novels.

Ms. Alonso-Sierra is currently working on her third novel, and lives in North Carolina with her husband and her dog, Amber.
