March

Welcome March!  Winter is almost over…almost.  But March 20th is the first day of Spring. It’s also my birthday month.

Let’s celebrate.  I’ve updated the interior and given the first two books in the Laurel Heights Series new covers.  The small town in the Laurel Highlands of PA has dark secrets so the books are romantic suspense.  They could be read as standalones, but the characters interact with each other, considering they all live in the same town.  

Meet Lincoln Adams and Jessie Taylor.

Lincoln Adams, a successful businessman, closed the door on painful memories from eighteen years past. When a friend from a different chapter of his life calls in a favor, Linc feels obligated to honor his promise. As he works to save the struggling town, he uncovers secrets that will change his life forever.

Sergeant Jessie Taylor has devoted herself to her role as a police officer in Laurel Heights. Through hard work, she has earned the trust and respect of her colleagues and residents alike.

Everything changes when Lincoln Adams returns to town. His arrival brings uncertainty and stirs old emotions, threatening the stability and respect she has worked hard to build. As mysterious bodies begin to surface, tensions rise in the community. In the face of mounting fears and suspicions, they’re forced to set aside their mistrust and past hurts to uncover the sinister threat looming over the entire town. 

Meet Samantha Kingsley and Luke O’Ryan

Samantha Kingsley is on the verge of opening her dream tea shop, Tea in Time, in Laurel Heights. However, she has one last task for her employer: to go undercover as an insurance investigator and find out the truth behind a series of trucking accidents.

What should be a straightforward assignment becomes complicated when she encounters Luke O’Ryan, the president of the company she’s been sent to investigate—and a man from her past she never expected to see again. Their shared history is filled with tension and attraction, and as she masquerades as a new driver in his struggling division, every moment together makes her secret harder to keep.

Luke is grappling with the aftermath of losing his parents while trying to save his family’s business amidst growing suspicions about the accidents. He senses something is off with Samantha, but his attraction to her begins to cloud his judgment. As passions ignite and secrets unravel, Samantha must decide if revealing the truth will destroy their fragile connection—or help them uncover the real culprit before it’s too late.
