Today's guest is brand new to me and, therefore, new to our blog.
Anna del Mar writes hot, smart romances that soothe
the soul, challenge the mind, and satisfy the heart. Her stories focus on
strong heroines struggling to find their place in the world and the brave,
sexy, kickass, military heroes who defy the limits of their broken bodies to
protect the women they love. Anna enjoys traveling, hiking, skiing, and the
sea. Writing is her addiction, her drug of choice, and what she wants to do all
the time. The extraordinary men and women she met during her years as a Navy
wife inspire the fabulous heroes and heroines at the center of her stories.
When she stays put—which doesn’t happen very often—she lives in Florida with
her indulgent husband and two very opinionated cats.
So nice to meet you Anna! Now let's see what she has to share with us....
I’ve always loved traveling. I find joy in the
journey and satisfaction in the learning that comes from it, in meeting new
people and experiencing other cultures. But the first time I traveled to
Alaska, I found something else: inspiration for my writing, a strong creative
drive to share the beauty I discovered there with my readers. I kept going back
for more.
From my personal, life-transforming travels through
Alaska, my latest romantic suspense, The
Stranger, was born. The
Stranger
is
the second book of my Wounded
Warrior Series, following on the heels of my Amazon
bestseller, The Asset.
The Stranger features Summer Silva
and Seth Erickson, fire and ice, a most unlikely pair. I like to say that fiery
Summer’s character benefited from all of my Alaskan misadventures—believe me,
there were plenty of those and they weren’t always pretty or dignified—while
icy Seth is Alaska in the flesh.
The story goes something like this: When her sister
runs away with a guy she met on the internet, Summer, a warmth-loving Miami
architect chases her reckless sibling to Alaska and finds her life in danger
from more than the elements. Only a stranger, Seth, a wounded warrior who is
also a powerful Alaskan tycoon with a quarreling family as complicated as
Summer’s and no time for a lady in distress can save her from disaster.
Together, two strangers from different worlds and opposite spectrums of the
thermometer must unravel the intrigues that threaten their lives to chase after
a new dream, in majestic Alaska.
The vastness, the beauty and the character of Alaska
inspired me to write The Stranger. I
hope that when you read the story, you are inspired as well. So come along on
the journey. I’m happy to share. You can visit Alaska from the comfort of your
reader and laugh, cry and feel along with Summer and Seth as they fight their
demons and find forever love. And if you fall in love with Alaska, well,
believe me. I understand.

Here’s a first review of The Stranger. And it’s an awesome one!
Wow...that's wonderful Anna! My brother and his family live in AK and although I enjoy visiting, I wouldn't want to live there...although I can see how/why you find it inspiring.
Thanks for sharing with us!
Now here's a little about Anna's book....
Ex-military pilot Seth Erickson is fighting his own demons,
but when he finds Summer Silva, a beautiful, warmth-loving, Miami woman
stranded in the frozen wilderness, he’ll do everything in his power to keep her
safe from murder, treason, and the ruthless Alaskan winter.
When a mysterious stranger is your only hope...
The scars of the past have left
their mark, both physical and emotional, on former military pilot Seth
Erickson. Off-grid in the far reaches of the bitter Alaskan wilderness, he
wants only to be left alone with his ghosts. But he can’t ignore a woman in
need—beautiful, stranded and nearly frozen with fear.
Summer Silva never imagined that the
search for her missing sister would leave her abandoned on a wintry back road,
barely escaping with her life from a cold-blooded killer for hire. Now, hiding
out in the isolated cabin of the secretive wounded warrior who saved her,
Summer knows she must do what she fears most. Putting her trust in a stranger
is all she has left.
All defenses are down
After a fiery first night together,
Seth and Summer are bound by a need as powerful as a Bering Sea superstorm—and
vulnerable to enemies just as fierce. For Seth, reawakened by desire, there is
no sacrifice too great, no memory too dark, to keep Summer safe. But murder and
treason lurk everywhere and Summer may not survive Alaska’s ruthless winter.
