GENRE: Romantic Cozy Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Mortician,
Lily Reynolds is used to seeing bodies, but not the type murdered in her own
funeral home. As Detective James Rivers zeroes in on her as the town’s number
one suspect she must rise above the accusations and rumors to solve the case
herself while keeping her attraction to the troubled detective at bay.
James has a past. The
last time he let someone into his life she wound up dead. Vowing never to let
that happen again he has sworn off dating for good. Until he meets Lily. In his
gut he knows she’s not the murderer but pressure to solve the case puts him on
the wrong trail while he struggles to keep Lily off the case.
Can she solve the case
on her own or will their scandalous romance get in the way of proving her
innocence?

Excerpt:
“That’s Detective James Rivers,” Abrams said. “He came all
the way up from New York City to our little town in the scenic Hudson Valley.
He’ll be the lead investigator on this case since I know you ladies will be
frequent callers.”
“Let’s be clear, I’ve never called you,” Lily said. “It’s
always been Shanna.”
Abrams gave her a coy smile. He seemed flattered by the
idea.
“Nice to meet you, Detective Rivers,” Lily said, finally
turning toward the man who approached them.
Her breath caught in her throat. She didn’t know what she
had been expecting, but not this—the angelic face with large sky-blue eyes,
pronounced cheekbones and silken black hair. The only part of him that matched
her ideas of what detectives looked like were his tattooed arms. She should
know; her dad had been a cop.
May
he rest in peace.
But James’s tattoos weren’t subtle. Snakes slid up his arms,
past his rolled-up shirtsleeves, coiling around his thick forearms and biceps.
One corner of his mouth lifted as he caught her staring.
