Suspense, a little romance, a touch of . . . paranormal.
Photographer Kate McGuire
hopes for a little fun in her life when she joins a parapsychology
experiment--visions
of murder aren’t part of the plan. Then her eccentric friend Venice,
a complication all by herself, leaks the story to a reporter, and Kate’s
life turns upside down. The police don’t take her seriously, but the
murderer does.
Kate’s distrust of the press
causes her to clash with the one person who can help her—the skeptical
reporter who got her into trouble
in the first place. Now it’s up to Kate to find the killer before anyone
else dies.
Haunting Refrain is the first book in the McGuire Women psychic series;
each book features a different member of the family.
After
she’s dumped by her faithless fiancé, Claire Spencer abandons her dreams
of a family of her own. Instead, she plots her solo course and settles
for a quiet life as an independent Williamsburg shop owner. So how does
she become a killer’s target?
Sometime security consultant Riley, burned out, stung by his ex-wife,
and haunted by a young girl he couldn’t save, vows never to work with
women again. But when a thug tries to kill Claire and she winds up in
Riley’s arms, his plans go all to hell. Knowing she’s in danger, he
can't walk away.
Old letters in a hidden trunk reveal long-buried secrets, leading Claire
and Riley to political connections with organized crime and Mob hitmen.
While dodging a speeding car, ducking bullets, and escaping through
murky swamp waters, conventional Claire and freewheeling Riley struggle
against their powerful chemistry—if she’s picket fences, he’s barbed
wire. Opposites do attract.
Suspense.
Adult language and situations. When artist Alex Jenrette
experiences a series of terrifying events, from a near-fatal car
crash to a terrifying abduction, when her drawings implicate her
in a brutal murder . . . will revealing her psychic ability get
her deeper in trouble?
Alex's story poses a dilemma for the prosecutor obsessed with
taking down a slippery crime boss--should he gamble on the
psychic? Is she his best chance? Or his worst?
Time of Death is the second book in the McGuire Women psychic
series: each book features a different member of the family.
