New Jersey Author Celebrates Release of New Suspense Novel

Online, October 25, 2009 (Newswire.com) - An attorney by day for a Manhattan law firm and author by night of the popular "The Calling" vampire series of thirteen books and novellas, Pineiro lives every minute of the day and night to the fullest.

Her newest mass market paperback, SINS OF THE FLESH, is the story of a genetically engineered woman forced to run for her life.

Caterina Shaw's days are numbered. Her only chance for survival is a highly experimental gene treatment - a risk she willingly takes. But now Caterina barely recognizes herself. She has new, terrifying powers, an exotic, arresting body - and she's been accused of a savage murder, sending her on the run.

Mick Carrera is a mercenary and an expert at capturing elusive, clever prey. Yet the woman he's hunting down is far from the vicious killer he's been told to expect: Caterina is wounded, vulnerable, and a startling mystery of medical science. Even more, she's a beautiful woman whose innocent sensuality tempts Mick to show her exactly how thrilling pleasure can be. The heat that builds between them is irresistible, but surrendering to it could kill them both . . . for a dangerous group is plotting its next move using Caterina as its deadly pawn.

"This is a new and exciting direction for me," says Pineiro. "More importantly, I get to showcase the New Jersey I love by setting almost all of the action down the shore."

SINS OF THE FLESH is published by Grand Central Publishing and will be available in all bookstores, Walmart, and Amazon on October 27, 2009. ISBN 0446543837
