Genre: Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Fiction

A first date with a detective and a family with secrets—what could go wrong?

Two weeks ago, Jamison almost died; it’s a complicated story. But the experience reminds her life is fleeting, and to keep living. So, she makes a date with Nick the Detective—a man who’s so hot she almost wants to cry. With her history of bad relationships and recent traumatic experiences, it’s understandable why members of her family are against her dating this new guy.

Jamison doesn’t know the half of what's coming.

After a delicious date that ends with both fireworks and danger, Jamie knows she’ll get an earful for her choices from her mother, but she’s ready to defend herself. But she surprisingly doesn't have to. Her mother has problems of her own when an unwanted acquaintance from a lifetime ago shows up like an unpleasant blast from the past.

This long-lost individual is about to bring old family secrets to the surface. To top things off, there’s a New Year’s Eve party that’ll have everyone in one place. Everyone. Her brother’s stalkerish ex and his current girlfriend, her sister who thinks Jamison shouldn’t be making any decisions right now, and her mother, who thinks she can’t tie her shoes without supervision. And Nick.

This promises to be an unforgettable party…

And a hell of a second date to usher in the New Year!

Synopsis:

Jamie Scott’s life fell apart four years ago when she broke off her engagement, turned down a dream job, and went overseas to run away from her life. Now she’s back, but the reunion is not without problems. She arrives home just in time to attend the soiree her mother planned, but she’s not prepared for what she finds—a dead employee in the parking lot.

Detective Nick Marshall is assigned to the murder case at the forensics lab owned by Jamie’s family. He meets the headstrong Jamie, but he has a job to do. And his attraction to her… well, he’s a professional.

Jamie knows the stakes are high. She has to face the past and save her parents’ business while dealing with her family drama and an uncertain future. She also has to deal with Nick, who wants her out of the way of his investigation. But fate keeps throwing them in one another’s paths… and into chaos that they both want to avoid, but neither can seem to escape.

About the Author

Author, Physician, and Kidney Transplant Survivor

Becoming an author was an early dream of mine but was pushed aside by practical considerations. A health crisis awakened the desire to write again. And with the ability to self-publish, I could see a path to getting my stories out of my head and into books that others could enjoy.
