MIDNIGHT BEACH: A Romance Thriller will be released in June!
My new book, MIDNIGHT BEACH: A Romance Thriller, is being released in June!
Forty-two-year-old Leigh Prentiss has everything she wants in life: beautiful children, a successful career, and a thriving marriage to her attorney husband, Garrett. But recently he’s been distant, and when he abruptly abandons the family vacation to their luxurious beach house in Midnight Beach, Florida, Leigh takes it personally.
After her recently divorced younger sister, Kristen, joins the trip, she does little to ease her sister’s mind. As lies pile up higher than the sand castles, Leigh finds comfort in her new friendship with former marine and stockbroker Jack McDermott—even as she attempts to trust her husband.
But when betrayal hits home in more ways than one, Leigh must decide if all love eventually becomes a lie. And if so, who can she ever trust again?
Midnight Beach is a gripping, fast-paced romance mystery with sex, secrets, and a murder that changes everyone’s chance at happily ever after.

"The U.S. struggles to fight a pandemic—with viral outbreaks in three major cities—while agencies search for the mastermind behind the biological assault in this sequel.
Wells’ (Dead Love, 2013) latest novel picks up right where her preceding book left off. She adeptly eases her audience into the story, reintroducing characters with minimal exposition or recapping, and even readers just joining the series shouldn’t be lost. The no-frills narrative complements the short chapters, providing the tale with a brisk pace, especially considering that it began in the midst of the action. There’s a definite resolution—a couple of crucial deaths cap off some of the storylines—but plenty of lingering questions remain, enough for the series’ third entry.
