Hi Loretta,

Your novel sounds great! I just downloaded a copy from Amazon. Thanks!


Loretta Boyett Hi Dawn - It's great having you as a Goodreads friend. I write "Inspirational Suspense with a Touch of Romance," which fits perfectly into the romantic suspense genre. I invite you to read by debut novel, Deadly Betrayal, First in the Hidden Danger Trilogy, when you get a chance.
