About this eBook

In this suspenseful romantic mystery, a troubled police officer meets a woman determined to bury her past. Their whirlwind romance seems idyllic until secrets collide with murderous intentions.


Charlotte police officer Jordan Monroe is used to being in control. Ever since his father died, he has provided for his mother and sisters and even hired his two brothers-in-law to help run his successful construction company. On a chance business trip, however, he meets the one person who throws his life into a whirlwind — Jaynee.


Jaynee has lived a tragic life and has sworn off dating. That is until a rugged southern gentleman lands in her seating area, refusing to take no for an answer. From the moment they meet, Jordan sweeps her off her feet, assuring her that happiness exists. But can she really escape her past?


Five years later, Jordan finds Jaynee on their back porch with a gunshot wound to the head. While Jaynee lies in a coma, Jordan has to go back to their beginning and figure out what went wrong. Did he push his wife to the edge, or have past secrets come back to haunt them?


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "You'll be swept off your feet along with Jaynee as she discovers the man of her dreams. You'll be drawn into the drama. And you'll flip the pages fast as Jordan must desperately figure out the truth in time. I was and did!" — New York Times bestselling author Jaime Rush


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "SHE BELONGS TO ME is definitely a good suspenseful read. Ms. DeSousa is a talented author and I had no problem in connecting with the characters. The story displayed a realistic relationship between Jordan and Jaynee." — The Romance Reviews

A welcome deviation from the dirty-talk romances available on Google Books. "She Belongs To Me" is a suspense romance with a captivating plot and interesting characters. I just had to keep reading; I could not wait for the mystery to finally be resolved. The story is slightly religious, but not annoyingly so. This couple is real, facing real-life relationship issues. Proof that communication and perseverance come as close seconds to love in any successful relationship.

This book almost got deleted. I wasn't prepared for the past and present settings. I just wanted to get to the story. Once I did, I couldn't wait for the outcome. Nothing is ever as it seems. The culprit wasn't the character I thought. The book held my interest and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kudos to the author.

After reading the Prolonge I felt I wasn't emotionally able to finish this novel. My dad comitted suicide Memorial Day 2016. To read about a supposed "self inflicted" gun shot wound was to familiar. I stopped reading it but couldn't stop thinking about it. I went back to it a few hours later ready to face my own battles if needed. I am so glad I did! This is an amazing story. I laughed, I cried, I was afraid at times, and I felt the love between the characters. I didn't sleep until 6am because I couldn't put it down. As soon as I woke its all I could think about. It is just an absolutely amazing story!! And the best part, she didnt have to use the "bad boy" image, foul language, or explicit sex scenes to keep it interesting and show their desires for one another. Just a good ol' southern gentalman, his intelligent county slang, and a Christian family. Completely admired by this Alabama girl. I loved it!!

About the author

Carmen DeSousa's stories overflow with romance, suspense, a hint of humor sometimes and, of course, a few Kleenex moments. After all, what would a great story be without an emotional event setting the stage? All of her novels are sensual but not erotic, gripping but not graphic, and will make you cry, laugh, love, and hope.
