Lillie Beaumont’s dark past has just turned up on her porch–fatally wounded. The dying words of the man imprisoned for killing Lillie’s mother suggest hidden secrets. Criminal Investigations Division special agentDawson Timmons agrees. He has his own motive for seeking the truth, and it gives Lillie every reason to doubt him. But even as they reluctantly begin to face painful secrets together, Dawson fears that a murderer is waiting to strike again. And this time, Lillie is right in the line of fire…

Blurb for Flora’s Wish by Kathleen Y’Barbo:
From bestselling author Kathleen Y’Barbo comes a brand-new series of romance, adventure, and hidden identity.
May 1887—Flora Brimm is determined the fifth time is the charm. Back home she has a reputation as “Fatal Flora,” a woman whose previous four fiancés died in untimely accidents. Flora is desperate to marry, because producing an heir is the only way she can keep her family’s estate. She’s confident this visit to Eureka Springs with her grandmother will help her land a husband.
Pinkerton detective Lucas McMinn is hot on the trail of Will Tucker, the thief who broke his sister’s heart. When he discovers the slippery fellow with Flora, he thinks they are in on the devious plot together. Will Flora be able to convince Lucas of her innocence? Will Lucas catch the elusive Mr. Tucker?
And, more importantly, will Lucas survive if he pursues Flora’s heart?
An engaging story of how God can move circumstances to bring love, joy, and lasting fulfillment to the most hopeless heart.

I love all these ladies. I have them on my list to watch whenever they have new books out. I’ve read Debbie’s “Killer Headline” and “The Captain’s Mission” they supply the right page turning romantic suspense. Loved “The Unlikely Wife” by Debra Ullrick. It was fun and poignant with a lovely ending. Cheryl St John’s “The Lawman’s Bride” shows that you can begin again with an honorable man. I recently finished “Her Holiday Fireman” by Kathleen Y’barbo. It was sweet, entertaining, made you want to know more about other characters in her book. I’m sure Kristen Heitzmann is in a league with the others. I’d love to win any of these ladies books. Thanks for the opportunity–Margaret.
Thank you, Susan, for your sweet and kind words about The Unlikely Wife, and for what you said about everyone else’s books too. It is always nice to hear when someone enjoys your books and why. Thank you for taking the time to stop and to do just that.
And a ginormous thanks to the rest of you who have taken the time to stop by and to let us authors know that our books sound interesting to you.
God bless you and yours,
Debra
Susan, thanks for your sweet comments about KILLER HEADLINE and THE CAPTAIN’S MISSION. I greatly appreciate your support!

Hi Katie,
Good luck with the drawings!
Oh my, each book is inviting to me…but I think Flora’s Wish seems to have that uplifting humor I need presently. LOL Actually, I hope I might be able to wish to win any of them – not author specific. Thank you for this giveaway and the chance to win a great read in any regard.
In Christian Joy,
