The Hunted Heir
Private investigator Nona Taylor is hired to look into a pastor's unexpected inheritance, only to find that the money may have placed him in someone's crosshairs. Attorney DeMarcus Johnson joins the investigation, and circumstances force Nona and DeMarcus into a fake engagement while danger closes in. The deeper they dig, the more the inheritance points toward secrets worth killing to protect and feelings neither investigator expected to confront. This contemporary romantic suspense combines legal intrigue, a false relationship, and a steadily tightening mystery.
