Blood and Fire
A vampire of old and a modern day firefighter…both men demand respect,
but it is the woman they love who can bring them to their knees.
Caught off Guard
Fire Department Captain Dean Wolcott has struggled to tame the wild boy
ways of his childhood. Now an adult, he's a responsible and respected member
of the Silver Springs Fire Department. But with all he has achieved, there
is one thing he still longs for…Veronica Abbott. The sweet, innocent, rich
girl was always been out of his league, but that never stopped her from
monopolizing his dreams. Now she's back, and the woman she has become leaves
Dean with his jaw touching the floor!
After a life of domineering parents and becoming a widow in her
mid-twenties, Veronica is finally in control of her future. And a future of
excitement, surprise and spice is exactly what she wants. Her new business—a
shop of sexual favors and lingerie—is sure to give her some of that, but
it’s the prospect of Dean Wolcott that really lights the fire inside her.

EXCERPT for Caught off Guard
Convince Me
When Damian looks Kailey in the eyes and professes himself a Vampire,
Kailey is certain the man is out of his mind.
Still, she's fallen for him, and though she first walks away without a
backward glance, she's drawn back to him just as quickly by an invitation to
the Hotel of Darkness, an establishment with a reputation for catering to
the dark crowd.
When Kailey collapses to her knees overcome by a vision of Damian, red
silk and candlelight, just inside the lobby, she begins to wonder just how
insane he really is.
How can he talk inside her mind and make her feel his touch in
unspeakable places when he isn't even in the room and overwhelm her with
such a feeling of power if he isn't truly the undead?
But how can she continue to love him if he is?

Stars, 2006
Reviewers' Choice Award Nominee:
"Tonya Ramagos is an author who never fails to tell a
great story. Caught Off Guard is
most definitely one of those. Dean and
Veronica are two characters that harbored
a secret crush for each other all of their
lives but didn't necessarily know it. I
loved that Dean (picture totally hot, buff
firefighter) is so in touch with what he
wants. He's dreamed of Veronica for years.
Even believing that he had no chance, a
tiny spark was always there. Veronica is a
woman who has finally taken control of her
life. She's straightforward in her
attraction to Dean and goes after him with
a single-mindedness that is enviable.
Their initial meeting when she comes back
to town knocked my socks off and the
blazing hot attraction between these two
continues throughout the book. They both
have to examine what they want and decide
whether they are ready to try to find
happiness together. Although their
relationship occurs quickly, it flows well
in this fast paced tale and only the wrap
up felt rushed. If you're looking for a
quick, hot read, then grab Caught Off
Guard." —Trang,

Angels: "Caught Off Guard explodes with
passion and longing! Dean and Veronica
share some pretty serious fantasies of
each other, but as they find out, the
reality is definitely better than either
could ever have imagined. I really liked
Veronica. She was very take-charge and
upfront about her desire for Dean, while
being equally upfront about her
hesitations for a deeper relationship. She
didn't hide what she was feeling and thus,
though she couldn't always give Dean the
answers he wanted, at least he knew that
there was hope for a stronger relationship
to spark.
Tonya Ramagos has been on my author radar for awhile
and this book just cements her place on my
keeper shelf. Perhaps a simple romance
plot-wise, the emotional intensity of
these characters marks this story as a
winner. I hope Ms. Ramagos has plans to
write about the other firefighters of
Silver Springs." —Sarah

5 Cups: "What is hotter than a fireman love
story? How about a mature woman that is
ready to embrace her sensual side? This
book hooked me from the very first page.
This story draws you in with the action
and the layers of details. I have to say
that I loved reading it and hope you do
too." —Missy,

Stars/Hot: "Caught off Guard was a quick
fun read. I felt that the brief synopsis
of the characters added to the plot of the
story. Ms. Ramagos didn't prolong the
detailed descriptions of the Dean,
Veronica, or the secondary characters,
allowing the plot to flow smoothly. I
enjoyed reading about Veronica and her
discovery that something was missing in
her sex life. She didn't blame her
husband; she blamed herself for not
knowing what she wanted. That was perhaps
the most important statement in this story
for me. Veronica realized that she was a
very sexual woman and became more
comfortable in her sexuality from the way
she dressed to how she approached Dean.
Dean was not as complex as I initially
thought; he was the perfect bad boy who
realized he wanted to give all of that
sexual heat to one special woman for life.
The sexual acts between Dean and Veronica
were very hot and steamy. I was
disappointed when the story ended, as I
wanted to know more about the men and
women of the Silver Springs fire
department." —LT

Blue Ribbons: "Let me start off by saying this book
is very entertaining. Veronica is the rich
girl who comes home to live a life of
adventure. Dean is the bad boy from the
wrong side of the tracks who has cleaned
himself up and is going after the woman he
wants. Dynamite couldn't blow these two
apart and the heat they give off is hotter
than the sun. Tonya Ramagos is a
delightful author and her talented writing
will take her far." —Angel,

"Caught Off Guard was a naughty
look at two people whose childhood crushes
were still alive and strong years later. I
fell in love with Dean completely and
absolutely because his intentions were so
loving and so honorable. I found myself
wincing with Veronica's mannerisms and
blatant sexuality, but after realizing how
she wanted to finally be free from being
controlled, I could see where she was
coming from. Caught Off Guard by
Tonya Ramagos was a delightful read. I
liked the plot and love when true love
prevails!" —Talia

Hearts:
"Damian and Kailey come across
as soul mates made for each other. Little
misunderstandings and quirks make their
characters real to the reader. Kailey's
acceptance of Damian is well developed and
written in a very believable manner.
Damian's determination not to lose the
love of his life is felt from the moment
he makes his appearance in this gripping
story. The setting of the Hotel of
Darkness adds an aura of mystery to an
already sensual story. Reader's who like
their paranormals full of sexy characters,
enchanting plots, and a touch of danger
will enjoy this book long after they have
finished it." —Tj,

"Convince Me is a sensual thrill
ride that readers are sure to enjoy.
Damian has a heat and passion that will
knock your socks off and leave you panting
for more. Kailey is a great heroine that
will have you cheering that she gets a
happy ending. Damian and Kailey make a
perfect pair and the sparks that fly
between them will delight and entertain
readers until the end. Tonya Ramagos has
done a terrific job of creating sensual
characters and giving them a plot that
will have readers coming back for more." —Angel,

4.5 Flags:
"Outstanding! I couldn’t put it down. In
one night this woman’s world literally
changes in more ways than she ever
thought. But to even spend a night of it
with sexy Damien—might even give the leery
ones something to sink their teeth into—or
let him sink his teeth into. It’s a great
read!" —Melisa,
