Ten years ago, her detective father was murdered by the mob. When she learns he might not be dead after all, she follows clues that lead her to the coast of Maine. Acting Sheriff Beau LaCombe isn’t a political animal. But after an inept and possibly crooked cop announces his candidacy for sheriff, Beau must throw his own cap in the ring. To win, he needs a high-profile arrest to overcome his opponent’s well-funded campaign. From their first meeting, they're on a collision course that pits romance against duty. Which one will prevail? AUTHOR'S NOTE: The Ego Trip is a contemporary romantic suspense novel set in a on an island off Maine's central coast. It's a "sensual romance" with sexual situations between the characters, but very few graphic descriptions. The book contains a limited amount of profanity, in keeping with the plot (a law enforcement hero and a handful of hardened criminals). Fans of Brenda Novak or Robyn Carr might enjoy the King's Harbor Series. less
