Torched Katie Mettner

A book contract in hand from publishing house, The Written Page, Constance Barnes had finally found her place in the writing world. Her public persona said confidence and success, but behind closed doors, she was a lonely woman still reeling from a relationship gone bad. Mack Maiden, the owner of a lucrative pet store on the main street of Mill Lake, New Mexico, signaled into the fast lane of success at an early age. He should be happy with his life, but he was missing the one thing he yearned for most, the love of a woman. Constance and Mack were drawn together by their mutual loneliness, but when attraction turned to scorching hot kisses, Constance was convinced she had finally found the peace she'd been searching for. Her newfound happiness came to a screeching halt when bestselling authors bit the dust in a string of accidents, accidents Constance was convinced were anything but. Her suspicions confirmed, she found herself racing against time to unravel the deception of one friend, and the revenge of another, before she became the next victim.
