Dear Readers: I have a confession to make. I never know where my "muse" will take me next. It has been an exciting literary journey--my writing has evolved in many unexpected way, including recently into the realm of powerful and suspenseful contemporary women's fiction, which I shall continue to write under my own name, Brenda Joyce. I have never lost sight, however, of my audience--my historical romance readers, and especially fans of my books featuring the Bragg family. To this day, many of you still clamor for more Bragg books. Well, imagine my surprise when my "muse" prompted me to begin a new historical romance suspense series--and then I realized a Bragg had to be the hero! And so the nom de plume B.D. Joyce was born, and with it, the first book in an ongoing series, Deadly Love. Welcome to the world of Francesca Cahill, crime-solver extraordinaire. Francesca is no ordinary heroine. She refuses to bow to convention, wears her heart on her sleeve, and is determined to right the ills and injustices of society/ Deadly love begins Francesca's mad escapades when the neighbors' little boy is kidnapped right out of his bed during a society ball. It is January 18, 1902. Francesca stumbles across the ransom note just as she meets New York City's newly appointed police commissioner, Rick Bragg. And Fracesca can no more stay out of this investigation than she can stop herself from falling love with the city's determined and powerful police commissioner. But little does she know that on this singular night, he life will change forever. Let me take you back in time to the lost, magical world of turn-of-the-century New York City--where the glittering mansions of society's elite are only footsteps away from the impoverished back alleys of the city'sunderbelly--and into the heart of true danger and even truer passion. Enjoy! Best wishes and Happy Reading, B.D. Joyce (a.k.a. Brenda Joyce)

Prim and pretty, Wanda Ann Holloway led the perfect life. A churchgoer and model homemaker, married to a rich, successful husband, she was the envy of her suburban Texas community. But few people knew the evil soul of Wanda Holloway-a bitter, calculating woman consumed by jealousy and capable of anything-even murder-to get what she wanted. Denied the glory of cheerleading by her repressive, fundamentalist father, Wanda swore that her daughter, Shanna, would live out her frustrated dreams. But when her precious child lost the prized spot on the squad to hated rival Amber Heath, Wanda's obsession turned to blind rage. Dangerously deluded and convinced that Amber's mother Verna had destroyed Shanna's big chance, Wanda struck. If Shanna didn't make the squad, then someone would have to die. Trading her jewelry for a professional killer's services, Wanda plotted the hit as cold-bloodedly as a Mafia don. A deadly fire. A tragic car wreck. A bullet behind the ear. It didn't even have to look like an accident. It just had to be done fast...before the season started.

I loved a man and I thought he loved me. So, his cheating-ass ways were a big surprise to me. Even more shocking, was who he risked it all for... somebody I never had a reason to believe, was a whore. But I blame me... Because I'm usually better about who's in my space, knowing that those in relationships, sometimes wear more than a single face. They wanted to tap dance on someone's heart. They probably should've thought long and hard about that part. So now because of what was done... it's only fair that I have me some fun. I guess now they need to be shown the error of their ways. To the point that they're asking to see better days. Cue the deep sigh... Now, in the middle of my storm, something new fell in my path. Something beautiful, something amazing... he came with a taste of something I've never had. There's absolutely no rushing, to the beat of love, present in my view... But once my mission is complete, who knows what my heart will want to do? The only disclaimer I'll offer is this... "You'll either love me or hate me by the end of this tale, but I operated off of one goal, only ... that was to prevail." Signed, Nova Skai Levine ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ - ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ - ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ SMALL SAMPLE: "Was that your first kill? I'm intrigued. I haven't seen you so much as break a sweat with any of this shit-unless, you did it in private-which I doubt. How does that happen?" "You strike me as the type that already knows the answer to that. Besides, even if I could answer it, I'm sure it's different for everybody." "Right. But I'm not interested in everybody. I'm interested in-" I turned to him. "Mr. Davis, have you ever been hurt so badly that your heart feels like it's going to burst out your chest? Have you ever been so filled with anger that you feel a thick layer of heat eclipse your entire form-head to toe? Maybe you have. Maybe you haven't. In my case, when it happens, I become another person. That person shows up... she's different. Remorseless, vengeful. Just like the perpetrators come and disrupt my life with no remorse, I come to theirs with the exact same energy." "Hmm..." he said in a voice softer than the one he usually spoke with. "I guess it's a lot safer on the softer side of you." He shrugged and held his gaze on me. I thought I saw a little bit of empathy there. "At the end of the day," he continued, "their loss was my gain." He started to laugh and something in me swelled. Why was laughter even a part of that moment? I felt mocked, played. It showed me in living color that he felt like the powerful one. Him being in power was already a pre-existing issue for me. And yes, he did have the upper hand. But laughing about it wasn't something that sat right with me. "I'm glad you find all of this funny." "And you don't?" "Actually, I don't. I don't think it's funny at all." "You've got heart. And not just heart; you got the balls of a man." "Like every one of y'all have balls. Tuh. That's debatable." "Whoa. Ouch." He reached for the door, finally ready to fetch a carrier for the money. "And on that note. I'll be right-"
