Romantic suspense

Nicki’s a little older and wiser—so why isn’t she happier?

Nicki’s life continues going through upheaval but she’s determined to make it work, just as she’s vowed to report everything she discovers, whether the citizens of Winchester want to know the truth or not. And, like a dog with a bone, she can’t help but continue to pursue realtor-turned-politician Gina McCafferty as the woman persists in making her play for Winchester's open City Council seat. But Nicki is learning over and over again that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to her fair city. As she delivers the news from the front in the battleground of the town of Winchester, she senses she might be uncovering the pawns in a deadly game.

Alliances are tested. Lines are drawn. And events are set in motion that will play out in deadly ways…

In a town as small as Winchester, there’s no place to hide.

Now that Nicki has seen what the people in power in Winchester will do to keep their control, she understands that she needs to play it safe. Because she’s threatened to topple the thrones of the town’s rulers, she’s on their radar.

Worse, Nicki feels responsible for the murder of a prostitute she’s interviewed, so she wants to help other women in the profession. The only way she can is by reporting every newsworthy tidbit she discovers.

Unfortunately, that keeps her under the watchful eyes of the power players in her corrupt town…

Nancy Drew she ain't.

Since leaving school years earlier, Nicki Sosebee long ago gave up on the notion of The American Dream. She realizes early on that her college degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, but she also knows that she doesn’t want to work for minimum wage the rest of her life.

Her dream now? Learn the ropes as a novice reporter.

The job’s been boring…until now. One of Winchester’s bad boys has been locked up for arson, but Nicki soon finds there’s a whole lot more to the story. Her naïveté gets her in hot water at every turn, but her gorgeous best friend Sean Ramsey, self-employed motorcycle mechanic, helps keep her in check.

Unfortunately, he’s also distracting. And Nicki really needs to pay attention so she can write that story…before her name ends up in the obituary section.

The scales are starting to fall from her eyes…

Thanks to Sean, Nicki’s starting to pay lots more attention to what the politicians around Winchester are doing—and she decides to do something about it. When the City Council draws a line between the haves and have nots, Nicki decides to take a stand, and it won’t make her popular around her hometown.

Meanwhile, Nicki finds herself in a love triangle and she thinks she knows what she wants…but does she really? Spreading the news is easier than trying to solve her love life.

Sassy Nicki Sosebee might be naïve but she’s also plucky, driving her to become a better reporter. Her sleepy town of Winchester, Colorado, seems idyllic to folks on the outside, from Friday night high school football games to the pizza parlor on Main Street, but Nicki is discovering its seedy underbelly, where even the good guys are suspect. Can Nicki stay one step ahead of danger or will she leave a wake of trouble behind her as she strives to be the best reporter she can?

Some don’t want to see the truth.

As much as she wants to, Nicki knows she can’t fix everything that’s wrong with Winchester. Her hope is to educate her fellow citizens so they can see the truth—for some, though, what Nicki’s finding is yesterday’s news.

And nobody cares. 

But when a woman who’s running for city council seems intent on dividing the city, Nicki knows she must expose the woman for what she really is…
