"MY BEST AND LAST"
“So, tell me, Detective. Do you kiss all your murder suspects?”

She has no alibi, plenty of motive, and there's DNA evidence linking her to the crime.

In Jill Rice's contemporary mystery romance, tenured psychology professor and best-selling author Caroline 'Cal' Cassidy becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of her ex-husband, Paul.

Assigned to the case is Detective Daniel 'Danny' Chan. His suspicion of Cal is unwavering; he interrogates her, and the more she talks, the more he’s convinced she’s the killer.

Meanwhile, Cal’s situation grows increasingly complex when she discovers her attorney's unexpected link to Chan—she's his ex-wife. Could there be a conspiracy against her? To complicate matters further, she discovers she has an irrational attraction to Detective Chan despite his obvious conviction that she’s guilty.

Cal knows she’s innocent, but who harbors enough hatred to kill Paul and pin it squarely on her? And can she get Chan to believe her before the killer makes another deadly move?

"All My Favorite People"

A sequel to "My Best and Last"

We often meet our destiny on the road we take to avoid it. 

At seventeen, Eve Gardner flees her stifling life in Atlanta, seeking freedom from her parents who plan a life for her that she has no desire to live. She wants to be as far away from her parents as the road can take her. On a bus bound for California she encounters Álvaro Castillo, a man with his own secrets and reasons for escape. As an accountant for a dangerous drug cartel, Alvaro is on the run, having just killed the man who threatened to expose him as an undercover DEA. 

With a new name, new husband and new residence in Taxco, Mexico, the life Eva creates is a dream come true. When a famous silversmith takes her under his wing, Eva becomes a successful jeweler in her own right. As she works with force and fire to shape silver into her stunning jewelry designs, Eva comes to understand the process is akin to the alchemy of the human soul. The question of destiny looms large in her life: did she run away from her fate when she left Atlanta, or did she run headlong into the life she was meant to live? 

But happiness is fleeting. When a dangerous enemy from Álvaro's past resurfaces, their idyllic existence is shattered. The action Eva takes to keep Azul safe jeopardizes her marriage and their happiness. Álvaro cannot forgive her for sending their son to the family Eva abandoned twenty-six years ago. 

Eva examines her old beliefs and past actions after she is reunited with her family in Atlanta. When she and her mother are kidnapped by the cartel as revenge for Alvaro’s betrayal, they must reconcile and unite to stay alive. Together they use their wit and a little bit of magic to navigate their capture and eventual release.  

When devastating family secrets come to light, Eva learns that love has the power to heal even the deepest wounds, but only if you let it.
