Author: Mary Eason | Website

Mary Eason is a mulit-published author in a wide variety of romance genres from chick lit to romantic suspense. Mary's first romantic suspense was published through Cerridwen Press.

Mary grew up in a small Texas town famous for, well, not much of anything really. Being the baby of the family and quite a bit younger than her brothers and sister, Mary had plenty of time to entertain herself. Making up stories seems to come natural to her. As a pre-teen, Mary discovered the words of Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney and knew instinctively that was what she wanted to do with her over-active imagination.

She wrote her first novel as a teen (it's tucked away somewhere never to see the light of day), but never really pursued her writing career seriously until a few years later, when she wrote her first romantic suspense and was hooked. Today Mary still lives in Texas and still writes about romance. In fact she can't think of anything else she'd rather do.

Killer Moves

They’re a match made in the hallowed halls of Quantico. Until Death comes knocking…

Six years ago, Kara Bryant tapped into the mind of a serial killer—and nearly became his last victim. Her FBI colleague and lover, Davis Martin, put the murderer behind bars, then devastated her with his abrupt rejection. Worse, the vivid nightmares that followed her to her desert retreat have recently taken a fresh, frightening turn.

She should have foreseen that Davis would turn up. She’s just not sure her still-broken heart can take the strain.

Davis thought he’d made the right decision for everyone involved in a case that almost ended in disaster, thanks to his mistakes. But with a new string of killings that one by one is taking out the women of his past, suddenly he wonders if he let the real Death Angel get away. Kara is the only one who can help him nail the bastard for good this time—if she can forgive him.

He wasn’t expecting the woman he never stopped loving to love him back. Nor is he prepared to come face-to-face with Kara’s secret. One that raises the stakes impossibly high.

This book has been previously published and has been revised and expanded from its original release.

Warning: Contains one smokin’ hot FBI agent, a strong-willed psychic heroine who can more than give him a run for his money, and one nasty killer who will keep you up way into the night.


Pieces of a Family

Rachel Peters thought she’d left the past along with all of her mistakes behind in Austin after her brief marriage to childhood sweetheart Jack Bryant ended with an annulment and a broken heart.

Now, Rachel must face the man she still loves once again in order to save her son’s life. But can she believe Jack when he tells her he’s not the man he once was. And more importantly, can she trust him when her son’s life hangs in the balance?  


In The Arms Of A Stranger

Everything Kate Bradshaw believes to be real about her marriage to her husband Alex slowly slipped away from her as the newspaper reports explained the sordid truth in black and white.

Their marriage and Alex’s seduction had been nothing more than a lie, a means of accomplishing one thing--Alex’s revenge against the man he believed responsible for killing his one true love…Kate’s own father.


Shadow Games

CIA agent Booth Tanner was the best of the best and now he’s as good as dead. The only person who can save him now is the woman who’d written him out of her life three years earlier as a lost cause. Then Rachel Weiss receives a text message that is brief, chilling, and enough to send her back into the shadowy world she thought she’d left behind for good.

 


Standing On The Edge Of Goodbye

Pages: 123

Matt Stevens is finished with life. Grieving the death of his son, Matt withdraws from humanity, sequestering himself in a mountain cabin far from the reaches of anything human, anything that may remind him of the life he can no longer have. That is, until Kate Alexander arrives on his doorstep and begins to strip away the bitterness he carries in his heart.

Running from an abusive ex-husband who tried to murder her, Kate Alexander's life is turned upside-down. Learning of her grandmother's death, — the only woman who ever believed in her, — is almost Kate's complete undoing, especially when the devastating news comes from a man so lacking in human emotion he may as well be a robot. Yet, Kate is drawn to Matt Stevens in a way she's never before experienced. Could there be more to this unlikely friend of her grandmother's, —something beyond the cold surface he presents to the world?

Genre(s): Contemporary, Inspirational
Standing On the Edge of Goodbye was a realistic emotional heartwarming story. I enjoyed Kate who went to Silver Mountain where her Grandmother lived. Kate was sweet and kind, but also a tough woman. She had to deal with her awful ex-husband. She is one of those people who does their job and doesn't complain. Our hero is Matt. He was a tough yet kind soul. I very much enjoyed reading about these two. Matt's te

The Prodigal's Redemption

Root of All Evil
Burdened with guilt and sorrow, fearing for her life…her sanity, Anna Sorenson walked away from everything to gain redemption. A year earlier, Anna buried her husband Aaron. A week later, she lost the child she’d longed for. Anna’s only thought was to put the tragedy of the past behind her and find a way to survive in a post-Aaron world. But the evil she escaped is hunting her down.
 
Agent John Delaney buried more than just his partner that rainy day one year earlier. He’d shoved aside his feelings, ignored the wrong he and Aaron did in the name of justice, and hoped the past would stay dead. It didn’t. With Aaron’s death and the arrest of his killer, the Bureau considered the case solved. No one had a clue the wrong man confessed to the killings. Until the real killer returned to claim his glory—and his next victim, Anna.
 
Now he’s after the woman John still loves and he must choose between keeping his partner’s secrets and losing Anna again. This time forever.

Genre(s): Romantic Suspense
ooh-ing over how kick-ass Rainie is and sighing rapturously over her relationship with Roc, her husband, this book definitely sped by. I was halfway through before I even realized it. Rainie is definitely my sort of girl; she's able to take care of herself when it comes to fisticuffs, but she's also very feminine, with very womanly wants and needs that she's not afraid to address. The conflict between who
