About this ebook

Amelia Rushing is an inexperienced South Florida realtor with weather issues, and a loser at love. Her grandmother asks her to sell some property on an isolated North Carolina mountaintop. Upon investigation, Amelia finds the tract is landlocked. Determined to make her first sale and right the injustice to her grandmother, Amelia travels to the town of Confrontation and enlists the help of local real estate attorney, Alec Brady, who thwarts her at every turn. Sparks fly when Amelia announces her plans to move into her grandmother's cabin until she can sell the property. It is Alec’s current home, and he’s not giving it up. When Amelia discovers that thirty years ago a prominent landscape artist disappeared in the town of Confrontation, she is anxious to solve the decades-old mystery, but there’s a serial killer on the loose. A number of people are missing but no witnesses are coming forward. What is the community hiding, and does Alec know where the bodies are buried?

I like to laugh and my readers do too. I tend to feature older heroines, because let's face it, we're not getting any younger. I love to travel. My favorite place to visit is Italy because I studied in Florence for six months in my junior year of college. I love Bermuda and I think readers will love "visiting" this romantic and exotic destination getaway in my new novel from The Wild Rose Press, UNDER THE MOON GATE, and the sequel DESTINY: A BERMUDA LOVE STORY and find it as charming and inviting as I do. I'm looking forward to my next release with The Wild Rose Press, SIXTH SENSE, a romantic suspense with paranormal elements.
