MEXICO MAYHEM – BOOK ONE

Imagine … A brutal rape. A vicious murder. Now … what would you seek if it involved your daughter? If the monster is her stepfather? Justice or revenge? In Peril in Paradise, Clara Garza is faced with this dilemma while also trying to stay one step ahead of her deranged ex-husband, Damian Garza. She knows both options offer resolution, but neither will bring Ally back.

As she embarks on her voyage for justice, Clara meets Jackson Brady, a man seeking his own revenge—a man also trying to capture her heart. The two find themselves resolving one issue only to be faced with another sinister challenge. Readers will want to join Clara and Jackson as they navigate a journey of justice, revenge … and survival.

MEXICO MAYHEM – BOOK TWO

When her fiancé cheats a week before their wedding, Katelyn Graham flees to Mazatlán, Mexico hoping the sea will soothe her broken heart. After a night of margaritas with a handsome stranger, Katelyn finds herself arrested for his murder.

Special Agent Christopher Temple is juggling his investigation into a drug queen with his search for a beautiful woman who has piqued his interest, and whom he fears he’s put in harm’s way.

Aware the FBI and DEA are working with the policía to capture her, Sarita is torn between leaving her lavish lifestyle and her adoring paramour for a world free of worrying about being imprisoned … or eliminated.

Malice in Mazatlán has a splash of suspense, a touch of mystery, and a dash of romance, all of which should be enjoyed with a perfect margarita.

STONEYBROOK MYSTERIES – BOOK ONE

After Harley Harper is stood up on her wedding day in Manhattan, she points her car west in search of a silver lining. When she lands in Stoneybrook, Oregon, she buys the Redneck Ranch, where she finds comfort among her menagerie of misfit animals. Now as a ranch owner, Harley tries to settle into her new normal, but a dead body in her dilapidated barn, a wildfire bearing down on Stoneybrook, and the arrival of her ex-betrothed, keep Harley’s life in upheaval. And Stone County’s handsome sheriff has her feeling anything but normal.

Wyatt Stone, along with his autistic cousin, Deputy Derrick Stone, have managed to keep Stoneybrook free of major crime for six years. Then a body is left in the Redneck Ranch’s old barn with a message carved into the victim’s torso indicating a serial killer has returned to their town. The investigation is complicated by a wildfire threatening the town, but Wyatt’s distractions run deeper than an unsolved murder, fast moving fire, and a lost girl. The new owner of the Redneck Ranch is proving to be a pain in his ass, and he can’t stop thinking about her.

A STONEYBROOK NOVELLA – BOOK TWO

The tree is trimmed, and Harley Harper is ready to welcome guests for her first Christmas party as the new owner of the Redneck Ranch. Her bestie Elizabeth Benton is flying in from New York, a select few of Harley’s new friends are on their way, and she can’t wait to celebrate with her handsome sheriff, who’s running late. Wyatt’s tardiness raises a thread of concern, which manifests into full blown fear when a killer sets his sights on Harley.

Wyatt Stone knows there’s no easy way to tell Deputy Derrick Stone, that Santa’s been murdered. But as usual, he underestimates his autistic cousin’s uncanny ability to focus on solving the crime, and this time Derrick’s determined to find Santa’s killer. The villain though isn’t done ruining Stoneybrook’s holiday spirit and when Harley goes missing, it’s Derrick who pieces together the clues needed to find her.
