This week I’m joining in MFRW’s Book Hooks. I’ve decided to highlight The Marquesa’s Necklace, the first book in the Oak Grove Mysteries.This is from the scene where the reader is introduced to Detective Thomason.<\/p>\n

 Thankfully, it was only moments until Detective Thomason appeared. I gave him the once over\u2014brown hair still cut short\u2014check. Glasses hiding those dark brown eyes\u2014check. His shirt rumpled and in need of an iron\u2014check. No wedding band in his finger\u2014check. Yep, nothing had changed.<\/div>\n
As I stood, his eyes wandered from my face down to my shoes. The corners of his lips curled upward, but I wouldn\u2019t say that he smiled. A smile would have looked odd on his normally grim face.<\/div>\n
\u201cIf you would come with me, please?\u201d he said.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He even put the please in there, unlike our previous encounters. Of course, those times, I had been either in booking or in one of the interrogation chambers. I know, I know, they\u2019re interview rooms. Whatever. I followed him through a maze of desks and hallways and into a small but comfortable office, my heels clicking on the tile floor. I\u2019d never noticed before what a nice behind he had. I wondered if it was just the pants he was wearing, or if I\u2019d just not looked before, having other things on my mind. Like calling a lawyer.<\/div>\n

Blurb: <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Harmony Duprie enjoyed her well-ordered life in the quiet little town of Oak Grove\u2014until her arrest for drug trafficking. Cleared of all charges, she wants nothing more than to return to the uneventful lifestyle of a historical researcher she once savored.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But when her beloved old car \u201cGeorge\u201d is stolen and explodes into a ball of flames, it sets off a series of events that throws her plans into turmoil. Toss in a police detective that may or may not be interested in her, an attractive but mysterious stranger on her trail, and an ex-boyfriend doing time, and Harmony\u2019s life freefalls into a downward spiral of chaos.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now she has to use her research skills to figure out who is behind the sinister incidents plaguing her, and why. And she better take it seriously, like her life depends upon finding the right answers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Because it might.<\/div>\n
