Poplar Place
Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
The sleepy, small town of Denton, South Carolina, possesses the tranquil life Cara Baker craves, but will her reclusive tenant shake up her newfound serenity? Newly minted librarian Cara Baker effectively cuts ties with her tumultuous life as a Pittsburgh DA and moves down to South Carolina, where she embraces the peaceful, laid-back style of small town living. Everything seems to be falling into place when Cara finds the perfect house to round out her new plans. Well…perfect except for the immovable hermit living on the top floor. She throws caution to the wind and buys the fabulous house—hermit and all—without meeting him. Eventually, by wooing her reclusive renter with notes and mouthwatering meals, he caves and invites her up to the apartment. Preconceived notions are blown out of the water, when she finds Danny isn’t the Mr. Mole she envisioned. Sparks fly and libidos heat up as the two begin spending time together. Unfortunately, FBI phone calls from her past bring Cara’s summer idle to an abrupt halt. Will demons from a former life destroy Cara’s newly established tranquility?

About the Mob
Bad guys are some of the most fun to write. You won't want to miss out on this bad guy from Poplar Place.
Cara
This is from a chapter that is only 2 pages long and was written to peak a readers interest and provoke them into continuing to turn the page. I provide this style of mystery and suspense throughout the book. It's one of the things that my fans seem to enjoy about the story. Did it peak your interest?
The House at Poplar Place
I absolutely adored creating the house at Poplar Place. I think the cover artist did an excellent job creating the feel of the house and the mood of the book itself. The house came from my imagination, but if I ever find it, I'm moving in immediately!
