Description

New series from bestselling author Connie Shelton!

Samantha Sweet breaks into houses for a living. When she finds an unmarked grave, Sam calls the authorities and feels an immediate spark when she meets Beau Cardwell, the deputy who responds to the call. A small mural in the abandoned house provides clues--add a fortune in artwork, a bogus will, and a wooden box that gives Sam powers she never dreamed she possessed and it's a dynamic paranormal romantic mystery.

    Normally I like the crime and mysteries but every now and again I like just a bit of romance and thrillers. This is one of the best books I’ve ever read and the author had such a way with words. I never missed a beat in all of the book and fell for it. Would recommend this book to everyone who reads. Ole grandma

    I enjoyed the first book in the Sweets collection & want to continue reading this author-well developed characters & plot lines- her main characters baking skills add an extra element to the story. My only request would be to bring more descriptive Paragraphs regarding the Taos & Santa Fe area for those readers who aren't familiar with New Mexico. The land-art community's-Architecture-Native culture & of course the food. I'm looking forward to continue reading the various collections offered by the author.

    Appreciate the New Mexico setting and unique “day job” of the main character. Would be interesting to see all the characters more fleshed out and developed. Would also like to see realistic crime scene and evidence protocols incorporated into the story.
