Readers will enjoy an atmospheric suspense with second chance romance that creates all the feels without making them blush.
Though I explore serious themes, I don’t include explicit content in my books, so it’s perfect for readers who like clean fiction that isn’t watered down.
SMOKE OVER OWL CREEK
After her husband’s tragic death, Val returns to her childhood home with her seven-year-old daughter, hoping to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.
But the sleepy logging community isn’t as safe as she remembers.
Wildfires rage in the hills and Val is convinced that a stranger is prowling around her property.
She looks for help from Joel, an old high school friend who’s distinguished himself as a local detective.
Together, Val and Joel are pulled into a dark tale of jealousy and murder as they uncover the truth behind the most infamous trial in Owl Creek’s history.
When they find a body in the woods near Val’s house, one thing is clear:
Someone has a secret they’ll kill to protect.
Background:
I grew up in a rural timber town in Southern Oregon where the best and worst of small town life existed side by side.
These experiences inspired the town of Owl Creek—a quiet, unassuming community with tragedy and violence lurking in the shadows.
The core of every story is the characters and their relationships, so adding a budding second chance romance made the story come alive in a way that resonates with readers and keeps them turning pages late into the night!
