About ninety minutes west of Ashville, North Carolina, set in the midst of the Great Smokey Mountains, rests Nantahala, a quaint little town known as Land of the Noonday Sun . A beautiful backdrop with waterfalls, forests, whitewater, romance, passion,  family secrets,  betrayal, and murder ... W ell, in my stories anyway. If you've read any of the books in the southern romantic-suspense collection, you'll know that each novel is a stand-alone story that can be read on its own--no cliffhangers! But, I pull supporting characters who have proven their worth to star as protagonists in the follow-up stories. If you've read Land of the Noonday Sun and When Noonday Ends , you'll know that one of those characters was set with a choice at the end of the last novel. And as always, I left it to my avid-reading friends to let me know if they wanted to read her story. I'm happy to say there was a resounding YES ! So for those of you who've been waiting to see...

Different men, different backgrounds, different lifestyles, all searching for the same thing. Of course ... when I say meet my men, I mean ... let me describe them to you.  I've always been adamant about not having men on my bookcovers . To me, the best thing about reading is that my imagination builds up in my mind what I believe the leading character looks like, and my image will always be different from the readers.  One of the reasons I believe movies fall short for avid readers. Yes, I do have a lot of male readers, but men are visual. LOL! Happy imagining , ladies!  All books are available at all retailers, but unless marked, because of space, I used Amazon links. Meet Derrick Ashton, doctor and hospital administrator, along with some hidden talents: Creatus (They Exist) The Prequel Excerpt: If Derrick had been her doctor, she never would have fussed about going. In fact, she probably would have made up excuses for regular examinations...
