Iris Johansen recommends
If Anything Happens to Me (2024)
Luanne Rice
"No one writes sisters like Luanne Rice, and in If Anything Happens to Me, she gives us an unforgettable heroine who will stop at nothing to avenge her sister's murder. These characters are vivid and real, the plot shocking and unflinching, as she reveals the truth of human nature and the raw courage of sisterhood."
Stolen Things (2019)
R H Herron
"Exciting storytelling and great characters make Stolen Things a powerhouse read. The writing is superb and I can’t wait for her next book!"
To Chase The Storm (2017)
(Raiders, book 4)
Kimberly Cates
"One of the brightest stars of the romance genre."
