Superbly written, this captivating tale blends crime, suspense, and a touch of romance.

Jake’s experience shines through even the roughest scenarios such as when Scarlett steps up and puts her life on the line for just a thread of proof the child is alive and safe. The characters are well-rounded and realistic. The story played out in my head like I was living it with the characters. I highly recommend this novel to those who enjoy good crime fiction.”

CAPITOL MURDER (Shepherd & Associates, Book 1)
Jake Shepherd, cowboy, lawyer, and top-notch private investigator, meets Atlanta attorney Scarlett Kavanaugh when the husband of her estranged twin (a U.S. senator) is found dead. A savvy Harvard Law graduate, Scarlett is a formidable match for Jake with her quick wit, intelligence, and self-confidence. Sexy sparks fly as Scarlett assists in Jake’s investigation of the murder.
“Jake Shepherd is the latest private investigator cum lawyer that may well soon find his rightful place in the canon of literary sleuths. . . . Offending people is his gift, but so is reading suspects like a restaurant menu, as well as exuding a James Bondish charm that appeals to women.”
