What About The Suit?

In a world of wealth and secrets, one attorney fights for the truth.

Avery Collins isn’t your typical attorney. After years behind bars for a murder she didn’t commit, she’s now a relentless defender of the innocent. Her latest case? A ticking time bomb of secrets and lies.

Esme Guitierrez, an El Salvadoran refugee, stands accused of murdering Aria Whitmore, the talented daughter of a billionaire hotelier.

Avery unearths a web of disturbing truths hidden within the Whitmore mansion: the disappearance of Aria’s birth mother, her unlikely friendship with a schizophrenic man, and threatening emails containing insider information point to a much darker reality.

Each revelation draws her into a labyrinth of secrets that only leads to more questions.

Avery must navigate a treacherous legal landscape filled with media scrutiny, death threats, and unexpected twists to uncover the truth and prevent an innocent woman from facing the death penalty.

I left for a weekend in Las Vegas and came back with a husband.

Gideon James isn’t just any husband. He’s the wealthy CEO of a Vegas casino and hotel, he’s devastating in a suit — and he’s Bourbon Canyon, Montana’s very own prodigal son. Now he’s returning to claim the land my brothers are in the middle of purchasing from his father. With me at his side, Gideon will finally be able to stop the sale.

Why else would someone like him marry me? I may just be a small town schoolteacher one step away from cat lady status, but I’m not clueless. I know exactly why Gideon chased me into that all-night chapel. If he wants my help to sell this union and get his land, he’s going to have to give me something in return.

A baby.

Then we’ll go our separate ways.

Only the longer we’re under the same roof, the harder it is to remember our relationship is fake. The easier it is to forget there’s an end date on this contract. The plainer it is to see this marriage could be more than bourbon promises.

The darkness has found her again.

Daria’s new position, as a language tutor to the wealthy and charming merchant Lucas, takes her to the dazzling city of Ephesus on the Aegean coast.

As their connection deepens, Daria finds herself drawn to Lucas, despite the evil and violence that churn beneath the city’s beauty.

A collision is coming, between the high priests of Artemis, the sorcerers who pursue arcane knowledge, and a new movement called The Way, centered around the Jewish martyr, Jesus.

Lucas treads dangerous ground, pulled into the sorcery invading the streets of the city and claiming the lives of young women.

Now Daria must seek help from the only people who seem able to defeat the city’s dark forces, before the man she is beginning to love is destroyed.

But can love survive the secrets the light will reveal?

The new manager at the Tasmanian Tiger Museum is not the man the townsfolk think he is. But he isn’t who he says he is either.

One thing is clear though in the rheumy eyes of two octogenarians who come to his rescue – the odds have been stacked unfairly against him.

This is the opening book in a series of eight comedic mysteries based on the island of Tasmania at the bottom of Australia.
