When Night Falls Now on Sale

When Night Falls NOW .99, Featured at Daily Cheap Reads, 8a. Central, 9/20/11.

When Night Fallsis my first openly romantic suspense, though looking back at my booklist, suspense and psychic are strong threads running throughout.

Now at .99, I hope you'll enjoy the story. Here it is:
As the town's secret keeper, Uma Thornton has built a quiet, safe life, until the drive-by murder of her best friend, Lauren. Tormented by his past, Mitchell Warren returns to Madrid, Oklahoma to find peace; suspicion turns to him as a serial killer stalks the quiet streets and rose gardens. When Mitchell's bad boy brother, Roman returns, old hatreds and new desire throb in the rose-scented air for Uma's friend, Shelly. Suddenly, Uma is torn from her safety, and tossed into passion and danger with Mitchell when the killer wants his secrets hidden forever....

TEASER:
Fearing for Uma, Mitchell raced toward town. He couldn’t breathe, his heart racing as his truck skidded to a stop by the Lawrence house. He shoved open the door, calling, “Uma?”

Deadly silence answered him, and Mitchell pushed up the stairs, two at a time, his body cold. Uma’s office was neat... and empty.

The bullet hole in the window reminded him that she could be—

He swallowed, hurrying down the stairs and through the kitchen and out the back door to the garden. The roses she loved were beautiful, glossy and rich, and perfumed, and too still, the air seeming thick and layered and cool on his naked chest... too still, as if they were waiting...

Tail twitching, the gray tomcat watched him from his back steps. The cat leaped aside as Mitchell hurried inside to call, “Uma!”

The word echoed hollowly back to him, and the house was still and cool and trembling, as if—- The stillness inside him, the prickling of the hair at his nape and on his body, every sense Mitchell had knew that Uma was in danger—that the stalker had chosen his time. “I know, Lauren. I know....”

Mitchell had made a mistake... he’d been certain that the danger walked in the night. But now it was only evening and still light, the sun barely fingering through the growing shadows on Lawrence Street. “Lauren, take care of her... Please...”

REVIEWS:

A supposedly sleepy town burns with dark emotions and dangerous impulses in Cait London's romantic thriller. The complicated relationships between characters make building, or in some cases rebuilding, trust and love a challenge that Ms. London accomplishes nicely. Jill M. Smith, Romantic Times Magazine.

Fans of romantic suspense will thoroughly enjoy Cait London's latest tale that focuses as much on the tension as the two love stories ... The cast is strong and inviting while the identity of the killer is impossible to name. On top of that are two beautiful romances that lead to a pleasant time for the audience.

***** There is much more going on than I could tell you in the synopsis. In fact, more than one romance blooms in the story. A secondary couple adds more spice and the third girlfriend has husband trouble. Good luck trying to figure out who is behind it all. I had several suspects in mind. I gave up trying to figure it out and just enjoyed the story. I loved it and do not hesitate to recommend it to all. *****

I love roses and if you're a historical rose buff, you're sure to find them in When Night Falls. Plus a double romance and a colorful setting. Bless you, Oklahoma.
