A book contract in hand from publishing house, The Written Page, Constance Barnes sashayed around the fancy hotel in heels and red lipstick, looking the essence of success. She couldn't help but wonder if anyone saw through her bravado to the lonely woman lurking inside. After a disastrous two-year relationship came to an abrupt halt, she tucked herself away in her townhouse to run her design business and let her heart heal. Now, two years later, having found success as a designer, and author, it had done nothing to lessen the loneliness she felt in her soul. Mack Maiden made his way into the fast lane to success at an early age. Already the owner of Barney & Me, a lucrative pet store on the main street of Mill Lake, New Mexico, he wanted to find the one thing missing from his life, love. A chance meeting on a park bench one warm January afternoon draws Mack and Constance together. Their mutual loneliness turns into attraction, followed by scorching hot kisses. Constance believes she has finally found peace and happiness in her life, until bestselling authors begin turning up dead. It doesn't take her long to wonder if she knows the killer and if she's next.
