The wait is over!


Today is the day!

Eleven and a half years after I received the first email asking for JT and Alexandra's story, the long awaited sequel to CONCRETE EVIDENCE is now available in digital and print!

❄️ FALSE EVIDENCE ❄️

Holidays can be deadly.

Alexandra Vargas hasn’t spoken to JT Talon in seven years. She’s moved on from the heartbreak, and now has the baby—and life—she always wanted. But everything changes on a cold December evening when a traffic stop goes horribly wrong, and Alexandra finds herself on the run with only one possible place to hide: JT’s remote mountain cabin, the same place where, eleven years ago, she broke their engagement a week before the wedding.

JT must face his worst nightmare when he learns that not only is the love of his life a fugitive from the police, but also he must now step up and smuggle the child he never wanted to safety.

Past and present collide as JT and Alexandra struggle to find their way back to each other and heal the rift that has long separated them. But their past still threatens their future, and no one is safe until the truth behind every deception is revealed.

While this is a sequel to CONCRETE EVIDENCE & the final installment in the series, it can be read as a stand alone

Don't wait too long to order--the price will go up soon.

All book releases are special, but this one feels even more so, as it is not only my most requested book, it's also the final installment in the original Evidence series. Don't despair though! My Evidence and Flashpoint worlds continue in Evidence: Under Fire, so this isn't a goodbye to these characters. There is always a chance your favorites will drop in on a future book!

This begs the question, what are readers going to ask me about now that my #1 Frequently Asked Question has been fulfilled? 😂

Featured New Release

Here is a peek at the dedication page for FALSE EVIDENCE:

Manda has been a friend for more than a decade, and in the last few years, she's become integral to my writing process. She was an early reader for THE BURIED HOURS and my first reader for both DON'T LOOK BACK and FALSE EVIDENCE. Her timely and brilliant feedback helped make all three books better.

Manda has a new historical romantic mystery out now and if you haven't read her yet, now is the perfect time to treat yourself!

PORTRAIT OF A NIGHTINGALE

A woman determined to find the truth. A man harboring a secret passion. A mystery that threatens to consume them both.

Miss Penelope Monckton, just returned from nursing with Florence Nightingale’s in Crimea, has come to the country estate of one of the most scandalous men in England, Lord Rickarby—nicknamed Rakerby—to collect a bequest from his late wife, her childhood friend Millie. But something about Millie’s death doesn’t sit right with Penny, and she’s determined to use this visit to learn all she can about the events leading up to her dear friend’s death.

A celebrated painter, Joss, Lord Rickarby, knows Miss Penelope Monckton only from the letters she sent to his late wife during her time nursing in a war zone. But what he knows, he greatly admires. Since Millie’s death, however, he’s been under a cloud of suspicion that only grows darker with every new tabloid story—doubtless Miss Monckton believes the worst of him too. But when he finally meets the intrepid nurse, it’s while he’s lying on the forest floor bleeding from a gunshot wound from an unknown assailant.

With the shooting having cleared Joss as a suspect, Penny is now determined to work with the all too handsome earl to find out who killed Millie. But with every clue they uncover, a different picture of the killer begins to emerge—and it’s clear that instead of Millie’s circle during her marriage, the culprit comes from the world of her childhood—a childhood spent with Penny by her side. And as the healer and the hellion grow more entangled, the body count grows. Can this unlikely pair catch the killer before he puts a permanent end to their budding romance?

I hope you enjoy FALSE EVIDENCE! If you are a longtime fan and have been eagerly awaiting JT & Alexandra's happily ever after, I hope you find this book as satisfying to read as I did writing it. If you enjoy the story, please consider leaving a review at your favorite online retailer.

How it started... I texted my author pals Toni Anderson and Darcy Burke within minutes of receiving a text from my husband about a potential job offer from the Marine Corps in Okinawa. My husband was in a meeting and couldn't talk at the time so I turned to my besties. The journey since that early July day has been bumpy, to say the least. I won't go into detail here but there have been multiple times in the months after he received the official job offer that we thought the move might fall...
