Lucy McKellan is a newswoman from the tip of her nose to her painted toes. As owner and editor of the only newspaper in her hometown of Whiskey Valley, she makes sure The Weekly packs a punch with plenty of who, what, when, where, why and how.
When a philandering businessman dies, hints of foul play arise and prompt plenty of questions, and the suspect list grows like weeds in a seedy garden. Not content to leave the investigating to local law enforcement, Lucy and her co-workers take matters into their own hands much to the displeasure of Sheriff Jake Prescott, who has a personal stake in the investigation—keeping Lucy safe.
As Lucy juggles her official snooping along with the new romance with Jake, danger draws closer, threatening more than their budding relationship.
Aleigh K. Dean writes contemporary romance and romantic suspense featuring small-town charm, humor, happily-ever-afters, and as many quirky characters as she can create. After publishing the first book in her Whiskey Valley Romance series—conceived during many hours stuck in rush hour traffic—Aleigh continues to write nonstop. When not reading a good book, writing, or spending time with her family in her Indiana hometown, Aleigh is probably plotting a storyline, romantic scene, or the demise of an unlucky character.
It’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.
Whiskey Valley may be a small town but it sure is full of big characters!! When the town philanderer ends up the creek without an eyeball, everyone becomes a suspect! Lucy is determined to find the real killer with (or without) the help of her sexy new beau, Sheriff Jake.
Steamy romance, crazy co-workers, angry ex-wives, disapproving mothers, and jilted business partners are the gifts that keep on giving in Whiskey Valley. Definitely worth the read!
