Book #2 in the three-book saga of a woman on the run. (This ongoing story begins in "Who Hates Marigold Flowers", Book #1, and concludes in "Bury Me in Paradise", Book #3.)
In Book #1, the former Marigold Flowers was booted out of WitSec when she was suspected of orchestrating the attempted murder of a US Marshal. Luckily, she found sanctuary with the two younger Cornwall brothers. Jackson and Lincoln kept her out of the hands of determined contract killers with the help of family and friends.
Now in Book #2, it's time for the oldest Cornwall brother to delve into her past and find out who murdered her fiancé.
Having shed her old identity, the reborn Olivia Michaud is determined to prove her innocence. There's only one problem. All the available evidence seems to indicate her guilt. Forced to flee yet again, this time with a new team of protectors, she's still tormented by the death of the man she planned to marry. Was it her fault Jared Spears was brutally murdered? Did it have something to do with her secret past?
Jefferson Cornwall, the prickly and demanding best-selling thriller author and TV producer, is hardly a pushover when it comes to taking on a woman with contract killers out to get her. But he can't make up his mind about her involvement in the crimes. Sparks fly between them, complicating the case, as they spar over the truth and their attraction to one another. Will he abandon her just when the mastermind of this convoluted plot gets close enough to destroy her?
Autorentext
I love to write, so you will find I am the author of several fast-paced cozy mysteries featuring lively characters like Scarlet Wilson. These tales are laced with humor and romance, but they are of the traditional style of cozy mysteries. The amateur sleuths typically reside in small towns and villages. The crime could take place in your neck of the woods. It could be your next-door neighbor who is found in a heap on the side of the road. It could be your dog that gets the first whiff of that cadaver and alerts you to its presence.
My determined crime solvers might not be trained to tackle big cases, but they do rub elbows with investigators who are used to dealing with wily criminals...and not exactly enthusiastic about having amateur sleuths along for the ride, even clever ones!
