WHIRLPOOL (The Julesburg Mysteries, Book One)

WHIRLPOOL is the first book in this re-release of a popular Christian romantic suspense series, The Julesburg Mysteries. Julesburg is a small town on the Oregon coast, but there are dangerous undercurrents beneath the town's quiet surface.

Stefanie Canfield's life is swirling ever downward. Her mother's death. Her husband's infidelity, and the woman now flaunting her relationship with Hunter. An accident that has left Stefanie with brief but disturbing gaps in her memory.

Now Stefanie can only watch helplessly as fire destroys the lumber and plywood mill she and her ex-husband still own.

The only bright spot is the return of a friend from long ago, Ryan Harrison. Except that Ryan is also the arson investigator sifting through evidence at the mill - and Stefanie is the prime suspect.

The next downspin is a murder that rocks Julesburg. Did Stefanie do it? The police think she did. And Stefanie isn't sure.

When published in paperback, this book was a finalist for the Romance Writers of America RITA award in Inspirational Romance.
