About this ebook

Book #2 in the three-book saga of a woman on the run. (This ongoing story begins in "Who Hates Marigold Flowers", Book #1, and concludes in "Bury Me in Paradise", Book #3.)

In Book #1, the former Marigold Flowers was booted out of WitSec when she was suspected of orchestrating the attempted murder of a US Marshal. Luckily, she found sanctuary with the two younger Cornwall brothers. Jackson and Lincoln kept her out of the hands of determined contract killers with the help of family and friends.

 

Now in Book #2, it's time for the oldest Cornwall brother to delve into her past and find out who murdered her fiancé.

Having shed her old identity, the reborn Olivia Michaud is determined to prove her innocence. There's only one problem. All the available evidence seems to indicate her guilt. Forced to flee yet again, this time with a new team of protectors, she's still tormented by the death of the man she planned to marry. Was it her fault Jared Spears was brutally murdered? Did it have something to do with her secret past?

 

Jefferson Cornwall, the prickly and demanding best-selling thriller author and TV producer, is hardly a pushover when it comes to taking on a woman with contract killers out to get her. But he can't make up his mind about her involvement in the crimes. Sparks fly between them, complicating the case, as they spar over the truth and their attraction to one another. Will he abandon her just when the mastermind of this convoluted plot gets close enough to destroy her?

Author

Sara M. Barton

Sara M. Barton is the author of several popular cozy mystery series that often feature humor, romance, and pets, but no ghosts, witches, or psychics (It’s not that she thinks these are bad books; it’s that she’s more of a traditionalist when it comes to cozies.) She’s the author of a new historical mystery called The Pantomime Double-Cross, with a heroine who has lived a secret life for forty-five years, unbeknownst to family and friends. Under the pen name of S. M. Barton, she’s written several espionage thrillers, including The Mirrors: A Moscow Joe Cyberspy Thriller. Once she wraps up the final chapter of her old life, Sara’s slated to begin her new life and tackle her overdue bucket list. When she’s not writing, she loves to get outside and enjoy nature, especially after hip replacement: “If my new hip were a man, I would marry him in a heartbeat for all the right reasons. He’s good to me, takes me wherever I want to go, and he’s fun to be around. Perfect qualities in a mate.” Happy Reading!

The eight-book series is laced with humor and romance. The Cornwall & Company Mysteries chronicle “Marigold Flowers” and her life on the run as she escapes from ruthless contract killers with the help of Jefferson Cornwall.
