About this ebook

A frosting-covered corpse. A secret-keeping fiancé. Can a former rodeo star solve the mystery before the killer rides off into the sunset?

Emily Bernal feels like she’s finally living her happily-ever-after. Weeks away from marrying her sexy boss and adopting the little girl who stole her heart, she thought nothing could break her stride. At least until a dead-man face-plants into an anatomically correct novelty cake and Emily’s friend is charged with murder.

As she follows the crumb trail of clues, Emily must infiltrate a venomous cult and clash with her one and only nemesis. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more her fiancé pushes her away. Emily wonders if the man of her dreams is holding back something far more sinister than three little words…

Against an onslaught of dark secrets and deadly schemes, Emily must go it alone to discover her fiancé’s secret and clear her friend’s name before it’s too late.

Hell to Pay is the third standalone book in Emily Bernal trilogy set deep in the heart of Texas, and book #7 in the What Doesn't Kill You romantic mystery super series. If you like rough-riding heroines, edge-of-your-saddle suspense, and twists you won’t see coming, then you’ll love USA Today best seller Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ award-winning novel.

Ratings and reviews

Love this series. The quirky, less than perfect characters are refreshing. Story twists and turns kept the pages turning.

Read the entire Katie and Annalise series and the Emily series too. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for your next series!!

I enjoyed it but by the end I wanted to slap the heroine. Good lord
