A LONG LAKES THRILLER 1
A page-turning romantic suspense novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat
An ocean away from her friends and family in Milan, Valentina Bianco wants nothing more than to leave the drama of her disastrous first marriage behind, while carrying on her wine importing business in idyllic Long Lakes, Tennessee. . . in a log cabin she calls Elsewhere. She’s been hurt before, so romance is the last thing on her mind.
Enter Jack Erikson. Her newest neighbor may be handsome, and nothing can stop the powerful attraction they share. But he is also a mysterious outsider. . . with a secret that will send shockwaves rippling through the small town.
No, Long Lakes is not the quiet, bucolic refuge from danger that it appears to be. Not by a long shot. Hidden behind the community’s gates is a web of lies and deceit. . . perhaps even murder.
And when Jack begins to scratch around, delving deeper and deeper into the community’s dark underbelly. . . neither of them are safe, and only one thing is for certain. . . Life in Elsewhere will never be the same.

But all is not quiet in idyllic Long Lakes. A new resident has moved into the gated community, a famous actor hiding from his past. He has secrets, and they’re about to catch up with him. From the moment he meets Valentina, he develops a keen interest in her, much to the chagrin of a jealous Jack.
When a young woman is brutally murdered, the community’s residents are on edge. Who could possibly be behind it? As Valentina is about to learn, everything is not what it seems, and nowhere is safe.

A LONG LAKES THRILLER 3
A page-turning romantic suspense novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat
Valentina Bianco loves Autumn in her Eastern Tennessee community, and this season brings the anticipation of crisp cool air, warm mugs of spiced cider and the best friends she’s ever had.
That is, until murder brings an unwelcome chill to Long Lakes.
When a neighbor is found dead in her own home, it spells more than trouble. It’s the beginning of a game of cat and mouse with a killer no one suspects. When Valentina’s friends start poking into places they don’t belong, there’s bound to be trouble.
Making things worse is trouble in the romance between Valentina and Jack Erikson, the man she’s grown to love and, somewhat grudgingly, depend on for the support she hadn’t known she would need. Will he help her find a killer and stay by her side, or is he looking to stray?
Sometimes danger and broken hearts travel together, and a person can find them anywhere.
