Dear Reader…
I don’t just read romances, I devour them. Historical,
contemporary, suspense, paranormal…I love them all. And I know how it goes.
It’s not a formula, it’s an expectation. The characters have to go through hell
to get to their happy ending.
As a writer of romances, I’m the person who has to torture
my own characters. I write paranormal romance and romantic suspense, so I get
to torture both shifters and real people. I also write erotic romance under
another name, so torture takes on a whole other meaning in those stories!
Covert Kisses is a romantic suspense story, the first in a
series set in the small town of Stillwater,
Wyoming. The heroine, an
undercover cop, is being hunted by a serial killer and the only person she can
turn to is the man she came to Stillwater
to investigate.
The trust between the hero and the heroine is a key part of
the story, but, as I was planning it, I had that torture element at the back of
my mind. How could I make it almost impossible for him to trust her? What could
she do that was so bad he would want nothing to do with her?
Even though investigating him for drug and human trafficking
when he’s innocent is bad enough, she’s only doing her job. But Laurie Carter
knows when she arrives in town that she’ll get Cameron Delaney’s attention. She
knows he’ll take notice of her.
How? Because she’s the mirror image of her cousin, Carla
Bryan, Cameron’s girlfriend. The woman for whom he’s still grieving after she
died on her boat out on Stillwater Lake
twelve months ago.
And, although using his grief against him doesn’t feel good
to Laurie, that is how she gets to know Cameron Delaney and begins her
undercover operation into his business. Unfortunately for her, it’s also how
she attracts the attention of the man who killed Carla.
As for Cameron, how can he trust a woman who decided to
exploit his emotions that way? He has to put aside his animosity when Laurie is
in danger, but can he ever forgive the cruel way she used her likeness to Carla
to get to him?
Torture, dear Reader. Delicious.
Love,
Jane Godman

Coincidence?
The beauty who washes up on Mayor Cameron Delaney's private beach eerily
resembles his dead girlfriend, Carla. But Laurie Carter, Carla's lookalike
cousin, is actually an undercover detective. She's on the job, investigating
Cameron's connection to a human-trafficking ring. Laurie knows she must keep
her cover—but she's struggling to deceive the man she finds irresistible…
When
Cameron discovers why Laurie is in town, he's furious to realize he's being
framed—and stunned at his sudden feelings for the lovely agent. But as they
uncover the traffickers, a savage serial killer targets Laurie. Can Cameron
save the life of the woman he's come to care for…and unmask the threat haunting
his family and Stillwater?
