Crime & Passion
Genre: Romantic suspense/mystery
Release date: March 15, 2013
Cover art done by LFD Designs for Authors
A decorated police officer, more intent on justice than following
the letter of the law, lands in trouble when a schoolteacher finds a dead body
on the beach.
Officer Donovan Andrews knows how to have a good time—ask any
woman in town. But when it comes to men abusing their wives or children,
Donovan takes it upon himself to make them regret it.
Madeline Scott is unlucky in love. All she wants is a quiet place
to heal, away from cheating, womanizing men. However, her life is far from
peaceful once she stumbles across the body and witnesses someone fleeing the
scene.
Terror spreads in Pleasant View when the small community hears a
killer is on the loose. All evidence points to Donovan, and he realizes someone
is trying to frame him. When troubling suspicions from his past surface, even
fellow officers believe he’s guilty. Madeline might be the only person who can
clear his name, but first he has to win her trust.
The body count rises and no one is safe. The murderer
makes it clear Madeline is next. Soon, Donovan’s whole world is focused on
protecting her and keeping himself out of prison. The more time he spends with
her, the harder it is to fight his growing attraction. Since she’s been burned
by love, convincing Madeline he’s interested in something more than hot sex may
prove harder than keeping her alive.

the highest level of reading bliss. After reading her first romantic suspense
novel, she never looked back. Before long, the need to create her own stories
took over. She spends her daytime in the clinical profession of medical
transcriptionist, but her passion is in the blissful hours she spends with her
characters in the evenings.
Chantel
lives in the western United States. When she isn’t writing, she loves playing cards
with her family and snuggling with her lazy kitties.
