Any
day when a new book is released is exciting
for the author. I’m thrilled to announce that my eBook, The Scent of
Roses, is
now available.
The
Scent of Roses
is a sequel to my last eBook, To Have And
To Hold, but stands alone and does not need to be read in
order to be
enjoyed. Whip Kincaid, from The Scent of
Roses, is the half-brother of Buck Maddux from To Have and To Hold. Whip also has a twin, Cale,
who readers met in
Buck’s story, which gives me an excuse to write a third book for
this series.
The
added touch of paranormal elements
made The Scent of Roses a
fun story to
write. Who doesn’t enjoy haunted houses with hidden passageways?
When I first
moved to Utah, I lived in this house. No, there weren’t any
secret passageways,
but in every other way, my description of the old house is
accurate. The third
element new in this book is the subject of polygamy.
Rosalyn
Delaney came to Whisky Ridge,
Arizona expecting to receive aid from her estranged husband,
Josiah Bullock, in
escaping the crazed leader of a polygamist cult determined to
have her. She’s
broke and has nowhere else to go. But Josiah is dead, murdered
the very evening
of her arrival. The town is in uproar, searching for the
suspected killer, Josiah’s
business partner, Whip Kincaid. Rosalyn also learns that Josiah
has taken a
second wife.
Whip
is innocent but to prove that, he
needs to stay out of jail. He hides in secret passageways in the
old house he
and Josiah shared. Smythely, the elderly butler who came with
the house, is the
only other person aware of the passageways. Lurking between
spiderwebbed walls
and using the abundance of peepholes provided allows Whip to
keep up with what’s
going on. Sneaking out at night allows him to investigate. He’s
particularly
interested in Rosalyn Delaney, and for more than one reason.
Besides being
attracted to her, he’s sure she knows something about the
murder.
But
does she? Is she safe at Rose House?
Will she be safe from Whip Kincaid?
I
hope you enjoyed this peek into The Scent of Roses.
