Even though Donna lives in Brooklyn, her latest book, “Surrender to Me,” is part of The Larsons of Louisiana series.

Here’s the book’s description:

Rafe Lawson is driven by two things: his music and living a life away from the influence of his powerful senator father. The woman he meets at a high-profile family celebration won't change his playboy ways. Still, Rafe is intrigued by the stunning Secret Service agent who never mixes business and pleasure. He has no choice but to jet to DC and use his legendary Lawson power of seduction to win over Avery Richards.

The first female in her family to rise up the ranks of high-level government security, Avery is comfortable flying halfway across the world at a moment's notice. But her desire for the sax-playing heir to a political dynasty creates more tension than being on presidential detail. Their fathers are enemies who share a long, bitter history. When Avery falls for Rafe, her loyalty to her family is tested and Rafe's contentious feud with his father could cost them everything. They must now decide what's most important—the life they've always lived or the one they can possibly make together.

Karen Yochim of Arnaudville has written several Cajun crime novels, all of which are available as ebooks on Amazon.com. Her latest is book seven in the St. Beatrice Parish crime series titled “The Devil Takes Care of Its Own.”
