Those who signed up for ARCs received their signed paperback copies along with these fun stickers. I'm planning on doing something special for readers when Book 3 in the series, HOMICIDE AT VINCENT VINEYARD, hits shelves on November 1st.
A case from the past could change their future…
Newly promoted Jake Love has reopened a complicated cold case involving Don Vincent, the owner of Vincent Vineyard, who was found stabbed to death on the property. While several suspects surfaced initially, no viable evidence was collected. This time around, Jake is determined to bring justice to the Vincents—especially now that his girlfriend Ella Bowman is by his side helping with the investigation. But when Ella's connection to the powerful family leads to threats, then more people turn up dead, the truth's revelation may destroy them both.
Last but not least, I was thrilled when DANGER IN THE NEVADA DESERT received a wonderful review in the Library Journal! Check it out below:
At a
conference years ago, Charlotte Bowman and Miles Love shared dinner, a
nightcap, and a romantic evening back in her hotel room. Realizing they were in
two completely different stages of their lives, they went their separate ways.
Fast forward to the present, and Miles, now a police detective, is shocked when
police sergeant Charlotte calls asking for his help with a serial killer case.
Initially determined to keep things professional, all that changes when the two
see each other in person.
VERDICT
Featuring great character development and plenty of suspense, Wheatley (The Heart-Shaped Murders) gives Charlotte and Miles a reunion that turns into a
hot and romantic love story.
As always, thank you for stopping by. I truly appreciate your support and look forward to bringing more novels to your bookshelves! Stay tuned for next month's post, where I'll be revealing the cover of HOMICIDE AT VINCENT VINEYARD...
