Synopsis
“When truth is
buried underground it grows, it chokes, it gathers such an explosive
force that on the day it bursts out, it blows up everything with it.”
– Émile Zola, J’accuse
In this thrilling
romantic noir suspense, DEA agent David Alvarez invested four years
in deep undercover infiltrating the ruthless Sonora Drug Cartel only
to have his primary target gunned down by a rival gang. Now his only
hope in salvaging the operation and bringing the largest drug
trafficker in the world to justice lies with the man’s beautiful,
young widow Catherine, whom he cannot bring himself to trust.
Catherine would do
anything to break free from the clutches of the cartel, but despite
her desperate efforts, she can never escape the mistakes of her past
that continue to haunt her.
Even though he
cannot deny their mystical, mutual attraction, David must carry out
his orders – from both the DEA and the Cartel – catching
Catherine in a spider web of duplicity and deceit. How far will
David go to bring down the cartel? If he succeeds in winning the
widow’s trust, would he be willing to risk her life – or his
heart?
About the Author
Colette has
been writing poems, short stories, and novellas since grade school
and experienced early success in having several of her poems
published in her junior high school newspaper. Her interest in
literature led her to marry her college English professor, but
eventually a love of history encouraged her to trade up to a British
historian.
Technical writing
has dominated Colette’s career for the past twenty years; but
finding little room for creativity in that genre, she dedicated
fifteen months traveling to Europe and Britain, researching Regency
England and vampire lore and literature, to complete her first
full-length novel, Pulse
and Prejudice
(Austenprose Readers’ Choice: Top 5 Books of 2012)
-
the bestselling paranormal adaptation of the Jane Austen classic,
which tells the story of Mr. Darcy, Vampire. Pulse
and Prejudice
was also selected the 2013
1st Place Winner in Category: Chatelaine Awards Romantic Fiction.
Colette was named
“Debut Author of 2012″ by Austenprose and selected a 2013 Amazon
Breakthrough Novel Award Semi-finalist for her novel The
Proud and the Prejudiced
(abriged as All
My Tomorrows),
which was also selected the 2013 “Favorite Modern Adaptation” by
Austenesque Reviews and voted a “Top Ten Romance Novel of 2012″
(P&E Reader’s Poll).
Colette’s latest
release, the romantic thriller Alicia’s
Possession,
was the publisher’s #1 Bestselling Romantic Suspense for 4 straight
weeks following its debut in June of 2013 and then again in January,
2014, after being voted a “Top Ten Romance Novel of 2013″ (P&E
Reader’s Poll).
Her next release is
the romantic noir thriller, The
Widow,
and she is currently researching and writing a sequel to Pulse

South Louisiana with her historian husband and their two dogs.
