​
Evan Wentworth, a cop from El Dorado Hills, California, is unable to overcome a traumatic tragedy he thinks he should have prevented.  Bereft, he changes careers, attends New York’s Parsons School of Design and becomes a highly successful Jackson Pollock-like artist who falls in love with Aurora Banfield, his mentor and owner of an elite Tribeca art gallery.  Prior to taking his final exams, Evan vacations in St. Paul and becomes embroiled in solving the murder of the controller of one of the largest charter yachting companies in Nice.  He meets Danielle DuBois, a captivating young teacher from a large family, who helps him overcome the guilt he carries. Her father’s partner at Gaspard Yachting, Ryan Coltrane, becomes a prime suspect in the controller’s murder and Evan’s investigation unwittingly puts his life and her family in danger.  Through lavender fields, to the ancient ramparts of St. Paul, to multi-million dollars yachts on the Côte d’Azur, this contemporary romantic suspense novel reminds us why solving a murder is both dangerous and multi-faceted. Secrets families withhold to protect one another may not always be kept with the best of intentions—sometimes creating dire consequences. Dangerous Duplicity is a search for redemption, justice among unforeseeable obstacles and the redeeming power of love.

​A gripping tale of deception, heartache and love..
​When a romance novel opens not with a crime of passion but a conspired, premeditated murder, there should be no doubt that the book is not your typical boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love and live happily ever after fairytale. The Dordogne Deception is a sordid, dark romantic thriller.

It has all the right ingredients...

​Intertwined characters and circumstances, well described settings, suspense, romance and let's not forget that sprinkle of spice.

...a fantastic writer...

​I couldn't put the book down for two days until I finished it.

The Dordogne Deception is the best book I've read in a long time. It kept me captivated from the beginning to the end. I just couldn't put the book down. The romance and suspense kept me turning pages till late in the night...
​Celine Girard, Vancouver, Canada
​The author does an extraordinary job of bringing readers into the unique atmosphere of the ancient château. Early reviews are very positive with readers commenting on the well-written descriptions of the château, the countryside and how well the author built the characters and story line. Many said they could't put it down! Madame Isabelle Grassé, the actual owner of the château is quite excited about the book and pleased that her château is the centerpiece of this novel.
