About this ebook

Book Three in The Lakeland Series
Abbie Lewis has been spending her Autumn mornings working at Zara Vineyard, so she is there when one of the vineyard's fruit pickers is discovered raped and murdered in the fields. When she, her grandfather, and Bobby De Luca find Sabine's body, Charles suffers a heart attack. Bobby, who has been sleeping with the victim, becomes the chief suspect of the crime.
Because Drew is so close to the family, it is his sometimes partner, Jimmy Grisham, who is in charge of the case. Of course, this doesn't mean Drew isn't doing what he can to solve the case. So, in her own way, is Abbie. She simply refuses to believe Bobby is guilty, and she is doing everything in her power to prove it -- even when her methods are questionable and causing trouble between Colleen and Drew.
Colleen's brother, Mark, returns from California to help out at Zara while Charles recovers, and it is lust at first sight between Mark and Colleen's assistant, Lexie. Between planning the wedding, supporting her family, and watching out for Lexie's heart, Colleen is dealing with a lot. More than ever before, she is thankful that she has Drew to help her and Abbie get thru such frightening and heartbreaking moments.

The Best of Things
Author

Leigh Macfarlane

Leigh Macfarlane is a proud Canadian (eh!) author of both fiction and non-fiction books who is fortunate enough to live in California North -- the gorgeous Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Since Leigh already lives in one of the most beautiful places in the world, many of her novels are set locally. In Leigh's books you will be transported to orchards, vineyards, ski hills, ranches, beaches, art galleries, athletic fields and waterfront cafes.Well, maybe not ski hills. Rumour has it Leigh is afraid to drive in the snow.Where heroes are concerned, I love me a cowboy, or a guy who can fix a car, a fearless protector type, or a studious professor with a sharp mind, the soft touch daddy, or a hard-body with a soft-heart. Sometimes I love me a bad boy, but I'm working on it. Just as long as he is good to his woman and cares about the world around him, I'm in.My heroines might be clutzy, or chubby, still figuring life out, or they might just have swollen bank accounts and be living the high life. Either way, my ladies are real women who appreciate life, laughter, beauty, family, puppies, chocolate, and especially the love of a strong man.When not writing, Leigh is mom to four wonderful, not so small, humans, one yap-monster dog, a gorgeous but aging cat and a fish whose quality of life appears to be declining. Once, Leigh fell off a horse, wrapped the back of her knee around a telephone pole, had horse liniment applied to her injury, and was proclaimed part horse by the race horse trainer who had fixed her up. To date, this claim has not been proven false.
