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.
In Book #2, the reborn Olivia Michaud was forced to flee yet again, this time with a new team of protectors, while best-selling thriller author and TV producer Jefferson Cornwall investigated her case. He had his doubts about her innocence, even as he found himself falling for her.
Now, just as Olivia Michaud settles down in Atlanta, she and Jeff find out that she's still on someone's hit list. Unwilling to take any chances with her safety, he sends her away for safekeeping, guarded by retired FBI agents. But trouble quickly follows.
Brazenly kidnapped in broad daylight by a couple of hired thugs, she's tossed into the back of a van for a harrowing trip down to Florida. The villain of this twisted scheme needs to keep her alive long enough to retrieve a fortune in laundered money down in Curaçao.
Jefferson Cornwall and his security team work feverishly to rescue the damsel in distress, but they're running out of time. The minute that boat hits international waters, Olivia may be lost forever. Luckily, the plucky heroine keeps her wits about her and she's willing to do just about anything to stay alive, even if it means she has to die another death in the conclusion of this exciting three-book saga.

Par autoru
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!
While some of the cases are heinous, there is rarely a need to go into detail about any murder scene. To me, that’s like rubbernecking at a traffic accident. If it’s not pertinent to the case, why get gruesome? Nor will you normally hear my cozy mystery characters swear. That doesn’t mean they won’t bicker or get snarky.
As S. M. Barton, I write espionage thrillers. These are not necessarily for the faint of heart. Spies do what they do to achieve their goals. There is normally a lot of excitement, some very hairy twists and turns, and some unconscionable behavior. These are adventures driven by circumstances beyond the control of the protagonists. Survival is the name of the game. It’s not always easy to know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, let alone what kind of havoc that will result from all the mayhem, murder, and madness. If intrigue is your thing, you will want to check these out.
