Almost every minute of every day sees her sat at a keyboard, furtling with a story (hers or someone else's) or chatting to her many friends all over the world. That's living alright!

So many stories, so little time. She is proud to announce the release of the third in her series of military thrillers with a hint of dark romance.

Great fun to work with such quirky, subversive guys and gals. Ro Green is a member of the World Wise Writer's group, a group of awesome scribes with huge hearts, wickedly funny lines and cats. Especially Ginger ones.

Ginny's dad had great advice about facing devils head on. 'Think about the worst thing that could happen and figure out why you're afraid. Get past that and the rest is easy. 'There was no doubt about her worst fear. Alone in a house with six men, all of whom had just ogled her naked body, it was a complete no-brainer. When Ginny's Saturday night bath is interrupted, and her uncle's house is invaded by the supposed victims of a car crash, the outcome might appear predictable. But nothing is as expected, including the uncle she thought she knew. Ginny endures their attentions as each one is distracted from their covert task, but she seems to have fallen for the rottenest apple in this particular barrel. With a spicing of international intrigue, blackmail and a bent ex-soldier, Ginny needs every ounce of wit and courage to survive the long weekend of simmering tensions. This romantic suspenseful military thriller will appeal to readers who like edgy heroes, ruthless villains and feisty heroines in constant danger. This latest version (August '17) has been spruced up to correct a number of typos people have kindly pointed out. Also, in answer to comments about the implausibility of a young woman in an isolated country house opening the door to a bunch of strangers on a soggy winter's night after a car crash, I've added some insight to the state of Ginny's mind when she did this. And added a bit of fun and sparkle to the first scene. Enjoy!
