USA TODAY Bestselling Author

"Watch over my baby."

As the mother of a newborn, Suzy Burris is accustomed to sleepless nights. But tonight, she's waiting up for her husband, Peter, to tell him she wants a divorce. Instead, she learns he's been murdered. And the sexy detective who's just delivered the shocking news is asking questions indicating she's a suspect.

When Detective Nick Jeffries left Houston for the sleepy town of Vengeance, Texas, he hoped to leave behind the city's grisly homicides. The latest triple murder to hit his desk nixes that idea. Being attracted to the widow of one of the victims is the last thing he needs. But when Suzy and her baby are threatened, he'll risk all to keep them from a killer's crosshairs….

Reviews for A Widow's Guilty Secret

[scoutmomskf · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good book. I liked both Suzy and Nick. Suzy felt that her marriage has been over for a long time. Her husband has been keeping secrets, is withdrawn and hardly ever home and she's had enough. She is ready to ask him for a divorce when she learns he's been murdered. The detective who comes to tell her also has a lot of questions for her. At first she is angry with him for treating her like a suspect, but when they move on from that she realizes that she is attracted to him. As they work together to try to find out who murdered her husband that attraction only gets stronger. Nick suspects Suzy of the murder at first, but soon realizes she had nothing to do with it. He is disturbed by his attraction to her but tries to ignore it as he works to find the killer. The more he and Suzy find out about her husband the more they realize that this is a bigger mystery than they thought. Nick's feelings for Suzy grow quickly and he works to protect her and her son and sister. There are several interesting plot twists and I'm looking forward to seeing how the series goes on.

Widow's Guilty Secret by Marie Ferrarella 3 STARSA Widow's Guilty Secret(Vengeance In Texas)I don't know if this is first book in the series. But I think it is. In the Prologue Professor Melinda Grayson is kidnapped. Then we hear in a few sentences later in the book mentioned about her is all.Then this story is about a Suzy Burris brand new mother of two months waiting for her husband Peter the Sheriff to come home because she wants a divorce. Suzy thinks her cheating on her, keeping secrets, hardly talking or sharing anything with her.In the quiet town of Vengeance three dead bodies each buried in thier own grave have been murdered. One body is the Sheriff, another a Senator & a third man. each have a card with liar on it in thier pockets.Nick Jeffries has moved to this small town after working in Houston. He gets to tell the Sheriff's wife that she is now a widow. He interviews her at her house. I felt like I was missing a lot and maybe I missed a book I know that the next book in the series is written by a different author.I just have a tough time with Suzy. She just gets told her husband is murdered and the next day is feeding the detective two meals. Some other things happen that I don;t want to give away the book but she sleeps with Nick. It just was hard for me to believe that they were acting like that at that time.Nick sleeping with a murdered Sheriff's wife just days later. Just could not buy the story. I know when I was told my husband was dead it was a stressful time.I usually really like Marie's books and will continue to read her work. Maybe with the next book in the series it will all tie in better.Thier are some love scenes,funny scenes and was cop's gag scene.I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review by Netgalley.Publisher: Harlequin (December 18, 2012) 288 pages ISBN-10: 0373278063
