“Mystery at Love’s Manor”

A First…

That’s right, my first mystery novel has been accepted by a major Indie publisher- The Wild Rose Press! “Mystery at Love’s Manor” is a "Nancy Drew for adults" style mystery. The cover image and release date are also a mystery!

Old wounds. old loves, same old town… but they haven’t met the new Emma Love!

 Emma Love never thought she'd return to her hometown after years away from her estranged family. But when her sister-in-law is kidnapped, Emma puts her life on hold to help an old flame, Deputy Sam Mattingley, solve the case and bring Gwen home. With a degree in Criminal Justice and part-time experience working at a detective agency, Emma's skills are tested.

As the layers of secrecy are peeled back, Emma realizes the mystery shrouding Love's Manor and her brother's marriage is more intricate than anyone could have fathomed. Can she navigate the convoluted trail of clues and locate Gwen before it's too late? And what of her long-suppressed feelings for Sam Mattingley…are they merely a product of nostalgia…or something more? Can our amateur sleuth return home uninvited and unwanted to rescue a friend and uncover family secrets, all while keeping an old flame at bay?

Mystery lovers: You won’t want to miss this one. Stay tuned!
