Deception

Riding instructor Connor Tremaine returns to her home ground in Mobile, Alabama and ends up married to Clay Sumner, a charismatic politician. On the surface, this is an ideal life, but Connor discovers that things are not as they appear in Clay’s world. Not with this home or his children, and she begins to fear that he may not be telling all he knows about his first wife’s death.

originally released as SUMMER OF FEAR (Pinnacle, 1993)

My first published, third person book. Set in Mobile County, Alabama, this book combines my love of animals with a bit of gothic chill and what I hope is a good mystery and a lot of suspense.
