Dear Reader,
I have always loved stories with big families and lots of
dramatic things that happen to them. I am a huge prime time fan and I can get
sucked into a English translated telenovela fast. I have always wanted to write
stories that implemented high drama with larger than life personalities. I’ve
been working on the Morgan family for
over a year. I had to figure out this family and wonder what happens next that
kept me surprised and interfered with the characters love life.
First I had to come up with the family and their background.
The major villain in all the stories is the guy who died in chapter one of the
first book, Mitch Morgan. He was the patriarch of this family. What could a father do that kept all the
children unhappy with everything in their lives that doesn’t involve physical
abuse? (Emotional is in many ways more interesting for a villain.)
The possibilities were endless. Then what happened to the
mother of the children? How would adult children in this super billionaire
family be if the father was as awful as I realized Mitch was? In the first book
John Morgan had joined the FBI simply to find evidence that might put his
father in jail and how does he act when he failed at this mission.
I had to know and I had to learn who all the Morgans were
and I hope all my readers find this family as fascinating as I do. Inside the House of Morgan, anything might
happen.
For vacations though, I recommend Key West. You can drive down from Miami onto the islands, but it feels like a vacation. You can see Hemingway’s house with many cats, Cuba on a clear day, and bicycle your way to the little White House. It’s absolutely breath taking and a romantic way to spend your vacation.

For some, joining the FBI is a
long-term goal. For billionaire John Morgan, joining the Bureau is a stepping
stone to proving his father is culpable for his sister’s death. After his
estranged father dies, John is forced to return home and face the ghosts of his
past. That proves to be more difficult than he could have ever imagined.
Alice Collins lives a peaceful
life. As a farmer’s daughter, she knows what it’s like to work hard for what
you want. After losing her best friend under inexplicable circumstances, her
world viewpoint shifted until her small town sensibilities convinced her to
attend Mr. Morgan’s funeral.
Soon, the past and the present
collide and Alice is caught in the crosshairs. John comes to her aid,
complicating matters for both of them.
Can a handsome billionaire on a
vendetta truly fall for a small town girl or does he have something else in
mind? Can a small town girl, if she gives her heart to him, ever fit of the
House of Morgan?

Short Blurb:
John leaned against the wall and
let the throngs of people pass. Alice followed suit, standing next to him as
she sipped her wine. "I assumed he was taking over. Did you want that
job?"
John's entire body jumped as if
she'd slapped him. "Hell no."
She gulped her sip fast. She kept
saying the wrong thing. Inside his blue eyes was a kaleidoscope of emotion.
Alice remembered that he used to be kind. She rubbed her lips together.
"Then who cares?"
He drank his wine and scanned the
room. After making the rounds with his gaze, he took in her entire figure with
an intensity that made her knees weak. "What is it you do, Alice?"
"Collins Organic Farm."
She brushed her brown bob behind her ear. "I work for my family. What is
it you do?"
Again, his blue eyes flashed as if
lightning was in his stare. She watched him, hypnotized. "I work in real
estate."
"Liar." She tilted her
head. He definitely didn't work in real estate. She crossed her arm around her
chest. Without another word, she waited for the fallout of her remark.
His eyebrows quirked in shock. Then
his dimples appeared. "What do you think I do?"
She met his smile with her own.
"Professional bad boy and poker player. It's what I always thought."
He chuckled. "I played
football."
She nodded. A moment of silence
clung in the air as she sipped her drink. Then she said, "I went to your
games in high school, but I also remember how you set up more than a few poker
games. You always read people correctly."
His sexy smile lit the room and her
skin melted, literally fused into itself. "I remember that. You cheered
with my sister, and I played you, too."
Author Bio:
Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish
Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering,
after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her
life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years
later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she
hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had
nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change,
she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a
passion.
During all this time, she always
wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical
minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other
people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched
what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book
when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she
turned thirty.
She’s always been determined. She
is amazing, adventurous and assured on a regular basis. Her website is www.victoriapinder.com
