The Manuscript's Secret

Things are going right for Willow Cranbrook. With her fiftieth mystery novel’s release on the horizon, the cameras are lined up for its success. Except that her books aren’t the stereotype—they’re not a fictional story, rather cold cases that have been hidden from the world for too long. When her neighbor is kidnapped and held at the ransom of her manuscript, she's left neck-deep in a real mystery. Add to that, her determination to close the case leaves her with no other option than to work with the not-bad-looking detective that she’s already developed a distaste for.

Blake Hanson is thriving with his position as Police Detective; solving crimes alongside his Belgian Malinois is growing on him. But when he is sent just north of his beachfront hometown, he’s got more than just a case to solve, he’s got family at stake. Meeting the beautiful, talented and very clever author tied up in the case definitely doesn’t help the situation, either. After all, he has to stay focused and return to New York when the case closes...his job depends on it.
