Book Description

Meet Ruby Wisdom. Smart and sensible. Humorous and heroic. Tough and tender. As the only private investigator in tiny Wormwood, New York, Ruby handles a wide range of cases—everything from jewel heists and cheating husbands to stolen wedding gowns, kidnapped artwork and fraudulent heirs.

In HANDCUFFS & HIGH HEELS, Ruby is hired by the wife of a millionaire when the woman suspects her husband is having an affair. And he is—several of them. But when Ruby begins connecting the duplicitous dots, the deceitful spouse ends up in a much more difficult dilemma than being caught with his hands in Cookie’s jar. And that’s when the real investigation begins.

HANDCUFFS & HIGH HEELS is a cozy mystery loaded with humor, romance, memorable characters and a sleuth who knows her way around baked goods and sweet treats as well as crime scenes and tricky investigations.

Lie to Live Another Day: (Two Novels)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 22, 2014

This title consists of two previously published works. "A Kiss Before I Die" and "Harsens Island".

"Kiss": When Samantha Moretti’s godfather dies he wills her a thirty-million dollar estate. He also bequeaths a graphic, two-hundred page “explanation” of murder, perverse revenge, and arson that scorched the village of Foursquare, New York. In the same manuscript he reveals her murdered parents were private contractors, hired guns, for family crime syndicates and the FBI. Not that the past matters to her now – the man who tried to kidnap her, the dead man in her driveway, and the lawyer with the gun have her full attention. She will not survive unless she fights….and Samantha knows how to fight.

"Harsens": Cradled by the Saint Clair River, Harsens Island, Michigan is considered by many to be Paradise. It’s the new home of Samantha Moretti, the daughter of slain FBI assassins. But this paradise is shattered when a disfigured woman surfaces in the river’s cold, treacherous current. Skilled in her parent’s deadly trade, Sam is quickly drawn into a murderous conspiracy, matching wits with a silver-tongued Indian chief, a lawyer with global allegiances, and an enigmatic Vietnamese woman. The deceptions multiply, the intrigue becomes deadly, and Sam ultimately discovers a secret worth killing and dying for.
