Rival Secrets - Paperback

by J. D. Carothers (Author)

What happens in Vegas can be deadly...

After my parents passed away, I put my culinary dreams aside to be the lawyer they wanted. However, with my 30th birthday rapidly approaching, my bestie urges me to enter a cooking competition in Las Vegas.

When a contestant is murdered, my time watching from the sidelines is over. I'm suddenly thrown into the event as a finalist. I knew the kitchen would heat up, but so did my love life when I unexpectedly met the handsome billionaire Evan Catalinus.

Evan checks off all my dream guy boxes: a British accent that makes me hang on his every word, a love of food that rivals mine, and let's not forget those body-melting kisses. Evan declares he's falling for me, but I sense there's a truth he's not sharing, and my past makes me hesitate taking this budding relationship further.

Will searching for a killer bring Evan and I closer to each other, or will the secrets kept in Vegas end my life before I can discover Evan's truth?

Rival Secrets is the first book in the Love Over Murders series. Rival Secrets is a significantly updated and rewritten version of Cassie and Evan's story. The earlier version appeared as Thrill Ride. Each book is a standalone story featuring one couple's journey to their guaranteed H.E.A. and no cliffhanger. The series is especially for lovers of swoony moments intertwined with a murder mystery.
