More About the Author

For over 12 years, Jan Hamilton Powell published romance novels for Silhouette and Avon Books as Celeste Hamilton. Several Celeste Hamilton titles are still available on Kindle and are re-released from time to time. After 24 books, Jan abandoned the world of romantic fiction for the real-life drama of marketing, advertising and corporate communications. That's still her day job, but the lure of fiction has claimed her again. This time, instead of Everyman heroes, she is focusing on some paranormal elements--shapeshifters, witches, magic, ghosts and things that go bump in the night. Jan is a firm believer in the theory that our worst monsters lurk in plain sight. She is now writing with her best friend, Leigh Neely, as Neely Powell. For the latest news, visit neelypowell.com.

This review is from: Man With A Past (Paperback)

This in the introduction of another character that has lived in Whitehorn for about nine years: Jonas Bishop.

He is mysterious, a bit, and reclusive.

Elizabeth Monroe is sent to Whitehorn, an investigative reporter, to run a story on the kidnapping [or disappearance of] little Jennifer McCallum.

Jonas doesn't want anything to do with any reporters, they will just try to dig up his past. Well here we have another secret.

Clint Calloway is one of the police detectives of Whitehorn. He has been given the case of the missing child. [can I slip in here that he is one of Jeremiah Kincaid's illigitamate children?]

Elizabeth found this out when she "borrowed" some journals from the library. They were written by Jeremiah's first wife.

Finally the DNA came back on the woman that was killed in Nick Dean's truck explosion. Marie March was 24 and possibly coming back for her child, Jennifer. DNA also proved the little girl was Jeremiah's child.

How had little Jennifer disappeared from the library at or soon after Mary Jo Kincaid's story-telling time? No one saw a thing.

Mary Jo had to contend with all the questions that Elizabeth was asking and stirring up curiosity of the Whitehorn inhabitants.

Of course the big problem between Jonas and Elizabeth [after she moved in with him] was their attraction [yup! into bed they hopped] and his distrust of her. [dingbats can't control their hormones].
