Murder, mayhem, and family secrets abound when some beneficiaries of an insurance magnate's last will and testament plot to get their money early. During a week of togetherness orchestrated by her not-quite-departed uncle's will, headstrong heiress McKenna Sutherland has to team up with resort manager Thomas Hampton, the man who stole her heart five years ago, or she'll lose her inheritance--to him! McKenna and Thomas need to uncover the villain among a cast of colorful characters who have joined them for the week, each of whom has a stake in the ultimate outcome--Uncle Sheldon's money, and loads of it. Thomas's job is to keep Sheldon's faked death a secret, while he makes sure McKenna isn't next on the killer's hit list. With everything around them a lie, can Thomas regain McKenna's love and trust before it's too late? Find out in this twisting Agatha Christie-like tale of suspense!
Award-winning author and creator of award-winning teddy bears who have found homes all over the world including Australia, Switzerland, China, and Russia, and a retired officer of the US Army Reserves, I love to plant trees and flowers and if I could, I'd turn all the deserts green. Time travels are my favorite read, although I love to read most anything, and the Bourne series, Romancing the Stone, Sixth Sense, Legend, The Princess Bride, Stardust, Inkheart, LOTR, and tons of other movies are my favorites.
I love to research, to make urban fantasy worlds real, to bring a little of the paranormal into our world. Even in "Winning the Highlander's Heart" the heroine feels she is cursed and she has second sight. But I try to do it in a way that feels real, and not fantasized. :) Currently, I'm working on the first of the new jaguar shifter series, but still am working on wolf book number 11, 12 and 13! So more hunky wolves to come! Dreaming of the Wolf was just released! Book 8 in the series.
