Murder at Veranda House — Cheryl Bolen

Murder at Veranda House
Texas Heroines in Peril

Heat Index: Hot

Lovely young widow Annette Holcombe is forced to turn her Veranda House on Galveston Island into a B & B after the recent death of her husband, a man she'd known only a short time. Upon his untimely death, she learns that the only thing she really knew about him was that everything she knew about him was a lie!

And if being penniless wasn't bad enough, now Annette's got to contend with threatening letters, suspicious guests, fears for her daughter's safety, an impending hurricane â€" and murder! If only there was someone to trust. Someone like Dr. Grant Garrison, a personable, good-looking guest who's teaching at the island's medical school.

But Grant, too, isn't what he seems.

Author's Note:
Before I started publishing my Regency historical romances in the 1990s, I had been committed to writing romantic suspense. This book, under previous titles, is very dear to me because it won several novel writing contests, among them The Golden Triangle Writers Guild, Houston Manuscriptors Guild, and Show Me More.
