Two Hearts Under Fire
Author: Tamara Ferguson
Tagline: Can two wounded hearts under fire survive LOVE?
Two years ago, members of Airman Russ Quinlan’s team were targeted and captured during transport in Iraq. When Russ discovers the only other survivor was left for dead after a brutal assault by insurgents, he realizes this covert mission had resulted in deadly consequences, and someone was trying to frame him.
When Russ decides to enlist help from AFOSI Agent Brand Reardon, he finds Claire Ellis instead. A close friend of Brand’s fiancé Sarah, the lone survivor of Russ’s mission in Iraq, Claire’s staying at Brand’s Quantico apartment temporarily, hiding out from an abusive ex-husband who’s trying to kill her.
When an assassin attempts to gun them both down, Russ is able to avert the attack, turning the weapon on the killer.
But who was the intended target? Russ figures their only option is to run, heading to Crystal Rock, Wisconsin to enlist Brand and Sarah’s help.
But something crazy happens to them both along the way. Can two wounded hearts under fire survive love?
Tamara's writing experience with Love Under Fire
1. What is your main objective in bundling your works with other authors?
I have multiple reasons.
· The authors in this boxset are aiming for the USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestseller Lists. It’s the next step for targeting better promotions, backing increases in pricing and gaining exposure for my books.
· The more authors you work with, the more exposure you have to a new audience.
· Romantic Suspense has always been my primary genre, and I’ve been a little sidetracked by writing primarily romance.
· I like working with others, and I am a good promoter, so it’s hard for me to say no when I get invited.
2. What blogging, newsletter and social media promotions have you done to promote LUF?
Too many to write down!! Twitter, Facebook and others including paid promos. NUMEROUS because it is a lot of work when you are trying to make a list. This is not my first time, but it requires everyone working together, which can sometimes be difficult.
3. Most authors require a large time commitment just in writing and editing a new book. Was this your first book set, a new book was required with a deadline?
No it wasn’t. Every story I’ve written during the last few years has had a deadline because they have all been in boxsets before I’ve released them independently. In fact, I am writing four stories right now.

She's just released Two Hearts Find Christmas (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 5) and is working on Two Hearts Unbroken (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 6) and Emergence, her third Tales of the Dragonfly Novel, due to be published by Windswept in spring of 2018.
A member of the RWA, the Authors' Billboard and the Authors' Independent Book Network, her stories have been included in several #1 bestselling anthologies.
Since she remains a full-time caregiver for an autistic son (along with a bunch of adopted pets!), you can usually find Tammy working at home, where she spends a lot of time not completing her numerous home improvement projects, because she's writing or helping author friends promote their books on twitter.
