Then she meets Leland Donato, annoyingly charming and stubbornly loyal, and suddenly Kate has one more distraction to manage. As the investigation on Talia’s attack leads to misplaced evidence, quiet corruption, and land a few powerful people are desperate to protect, the tension between Kate and Leland feels a lot less professional. With Talia slowly recovering and the triplets keeping everyone on their toes, Kate and Leland try to solve the mystery without completely losing their composure.
When Kate is named acting sheriff, the pressure shoots up—and so does the undeniable spark between duty and desire. In a town where everyone has at least one secret tucked away, falling in love may be even messier, more surprising, and a whole lot harder to predict than the truth.
Hey there. I’m a Canadian USA Today best-selling author, and I love writing for everyone—whether you’re young, old, or somewhere in between. My books? Well, they’re a mixed bag. Some are steamy, some are sweet, and a few might have you sleeping with the lights on. Others are perfect for snuggling up with.
I’ve never been one to color inside the lines or stick to a single path. I embrace the wild stories that pop into my head, even if they break the rules and dance across genres. A few years ago, I switched to dictating my stories because my fingers were starting to feel the impact of my steady 10,000 words a day. Dictating is linear, so it silences my internal editor. You can’t stop to ensure something is perfect or to see what needs changing—you must continue onward. This approach has allowed me to let my muse take the lead and to feel the story pour from my heart. My mind steps in during the editing process, but, until then, it’s all about letting the characters direct the story. That’s why my stories have that existential feel of a Dale Mayer book.
And you know what? That’s totally okay with me.
One thing’s for sure: every book I write promises to be a great read, every single time.
