Ebook Exclusive!
I love a good mystery. That's what led me to write SOUND OF SECRETS, which is specifically for the eBook market. I'm billing it as a romantic mystery with ghostly overtones. I hope that sounds sufficiently eerie because while writing the book I managed to send chills down my own spine. At present, SOUND OF SECRETS is available only for Amazon Kindle. In coming months, however, it will be sold on other eBook sites. Here's the tease:
Cara Donnelly is sure she's never visited the sleepy Florida town of Secret Sound. So why does the very name ring a haunting bell? Why does so much of the scenery look familiar? Most importantly, why does she see a little boy get hit by a car thirty years after the incident happened? Cara wants to get out of town fast after experiencing the strange vision despite the connection she feels to police chief Gray DeBerg. The townspeople, including Gray, are not happy about Cara stirring up the pain of that tragic event. But after Cara learns the boy was kidnapped shortly before the event and his kidnapper never found, she feels the boy is reaching out from the grave to beg her to solve the mystery of his death. If she runs from him and Gray, she fears she'll also be running from herself.

New and improved editions of three single-title romantic comedies from my backlist – THE MISCONCEPTION, SNOOPS IN THE CITY and BAIT & SWITCH – are now available as ebooks.

I'll have two connected books out from Superromance in 2012. THE TRUTH ABOUT TARA, scheduled for June, is about a woman who fears she may have been abducted as a child and the man who could force her to face her past. THE TRUTH ABOUT MIKE revolves around the sighting of a man who's supposed to be dead. That one's set in Key West during Christmas week. It will be a December release.
