Reagan Burnsfield has no interest in finding himself a wife. But that's exactly what he must do when a lumber contract falls through and threatens the family business. Marrying the beautiful debutante Amanda Bruester for her dowry will solve his short term need as well as give him the wife of his dreams.
His courtship is hindered until they are arrested after stumbling upon bounty hunters hotly pursuing runaway slaves. In the ensuing scandal, Amanda chooses marriage over betraying her Aunt Gabriella's illegal activities in the Underground Railroad.
Expecting resentment for the forced marriage, Amanda's fears of a loveless union are laid to rest when Reagan's passions seem tempered with apparent affection and tender regard. Yet, despite being properly wed, another suitor, Derrick Banning, is determined to break apart their hasty marriage. He fancies it is he, not "that arrogant lumberman," who should be enjoying Amanda's wealth.
While snowed in at his lumber camp, Amanda discovers papers that imply Reagan's offer of marriage wasn't the sacrifice she thought it to be. Despite his assurances that he acted to protect her, Amanda begins to doubt everything about him.
To complicate matters, mysterious scratches on Reagan's back seem to point to infidelity, further proving he's the untrustworthy knave Derrick claims him to be. When a prostitute's body is found in his office and Reagan is arrested for murder, Amanda flees to her aunt's house until the mystery can be solved.
Threads of Betrayal is available on Amazon as a kindle book for $2.99. Soon to be available in paperback.

I'd love to hear from you!

One summer. One Night. One Kiss. That's All They Needed.
I knew it was coming. He's was inches away now. And we weren't screaming or throwing things anymore. It was quiet. Too quiet. I can't let this happen. I have Cam. I like Cam. Right?
But now that I come to think about it. James makes me feel different. Every time I'm with him, it's like a dream. But this is no Dream. No Fairytale. No Happy Ever After. This is Real Life.
"James," I said slightly. I didn't want this to be ruined. Our Friendship. It too much of a risk. But he didn't respond. He kept walking towards me. Slowly and nervously. The way he moved his hips side to side just made my stomach turn. Why did he make me feel this way? He was so close now that I could feel his heartbeat go faster than it should. Boom, boom, boom.
If I looked up our lips would touch and everything would change from there and then. But that didn't stop him from grabbing my neck softly and pressed our lips together while my toes tiptoed to reach him. It felt like home. And I couldn't stop. Not now. He felt right. This was my fantasy.
That's when all my senses came back to me. Cam! No, no, no. How could I? I broke our kiss, looked at James for a little and ran. Ran like the world was ending. This wasn't going to get better. Neither was my life.

Now at thirty-two, he’s getting ready to send his son to college and wondering what he’s supposed to do next. Outside his son, his life consists of an IT job he hates and watching telenovelas with the women in his apartment building.
Gabriel Juarez is the CFO of a technology giant. He has looks, charm, fantastic wealth, a workaholic personality, and a string of boyfriends who only stick around because he’s too busy to tell them to leave.
A bad laptop/projector interface causes James and Gabe’s paths to cross. Friends, family, and coworkers jump to match Gabe with a nice guy, and James with anyone. But are they too different? Everyone will have to tread very carefully to keep things from ending before they start.
