Bitter and weary, homicide detective Niall Hamarsson burns his last bridge, retreating to the only place he's ever called home.
But murder beats him there.
Sheriff Mat Dempsey is a glass-half-full kind of guy. He returned to the island after his father drowned to take care of his mom. Life is quiet and simple, until Niall Hamarsson's return.
Nothing about Niall Hamarsson is simple.
Maybe Niall's childhood refuge will allow him the space to re-evaluate his future. Maybe he'll be able to keep the kind, competent sheriff at arm's length.
Mat needs Niall to stay away from the investigation, he doesn't want the ex-detective muddying the waters of Hidden Harbor.
Niall's not meddling so much as keeping his hand in. The case is a distraction from the unwanted memories that are popping up like weeds after a rainstorm.
How long will it take for the two of them to realize they work better together than apart? In more ways than one?
Veiled Intentions is a dual POV, slow-burn, four book, romantic suspense about a broody introvert and a somewhat patient Sheriff as they grope their way to a happily ever after.
My grandmother bribed me to read with a Nancy Drew box set—and changed my life forever. It was love at first binge read. By the time high school rolled around I’d discovered romantic suspense and gothic romance, and I’ve never looked back. What can I say? My love of romance, mystery, and suspense started early and runs deep.
Is there anything better than characters who by the end of the story manage to redeem/heal themselves enough to fall in love (and solve a mystery)? Nope, there isn’t.
In 2017 with a shaky finger, I pressed the Publish button for the first time. I’ve never looked back. I love writing inclusive, quirky, sexy cozies, it’s a dream come true for me.
What else? I love both cats and dogs. Star Wars and Star Trek. Pineapple on pizza, and have a cribbage habit my husband encourages. We live in a log cabin near Hood Canal in Washington State, if the sky is clear at night the milky way is visible. But most often I’m inside devouring yet another book!
