Cornered
Three romantic-suspense novellas place women in situations where an apparently isolated threat quickly becomes lethal. An accountant investigates cryptic notes after a coworker's death, a chef faces sabotage at a mountain resort, and a teacher becomes the focus of a dangerous obsession. Each heroine is paired with a law-enforcement or protective hero whose help is complicated by old history, attraction, or uncertainty about whom to trust. The collection delivers three compact mysteries built around forced proximity, escalating danger, and clean romance.
