The Spirit of Love

My second book in my latest series: Histories and Mysteries

Our heroine, Maggie never imagined her comfortable life any other way, until a mysterious stranger leaves a glass of red wine and one black rose on her table, and a hard to refuse job offer on her voicemail. Tempted by a large sum of money; enough to fuel her dreams, Maggie accepts an unusual assignment and finds herself living in an eerie stone manor, under the same roof as Nick; the most gorgeous and sexiest man she’d ever seen.Exciting mystery unfolds as Maggie and Nick find themselves searching the city for clues and answers led by cryptic notes to some valuable documents. Each clue leading to the next has them working side by side, and as the chemistry heats up between them, so does the conflict of emotions inside her. If that is not enough trouble, she is caught in the middle of the lifelong rivalry of two stubborn and strong-willed brothers.
The adventure grows when Maggie discovers they are not alone on their mission. Suspense builds when unsuspected danger crashes the party and threatens her life; leading her closer to the truth and back to the wine and roses.

My first book in my new series:

Much different than she is used to, Nina must adjust to a quaint country town of corner cafes, local stores, barnyard dances, and Josh, one smoking hot stubborn cowboy.Her quiet sedate surroundings are short-lived, as she embarks on an adventure into unfamiliar territory. A message from her late uncle has her and Josh traveling through a ghost town and a desolate gold mine, on the trail of a haunting mystery, searching for clues in places time has forgotten. As the trail gets hotter, so does the chemistry between Josh and Nina. Sparks of danger are not the only things heating up.

“I really got into Serena’s character. Never a boring moment in the book. Different and unique. Spice of romance mixed with fantasy. Throughout the book I was trying to imagine what the characters looked like. Cliff tall, dark, handsome and ruggid. Serena a gorgeous feisty red head. This story would actually make a good movie.
