Today, please, welcome the 3rd stop on Beth Hale’s  “MAGNOLIA SECRETS ARE DEADLY SECRETS” Blog Tour. She is a talented author and fellow member of  the Rave Reviews Book Club and I’m honored to host her post.

She got my attention with the intriguing blurb, which you’ll find below but when I read Nonnie’s 5-Star review I knew I needed to get this book. You’ll find the purchase links below, as well. If you still need an incentive, let me quote Nonnie’s review for you but I recommend you read the whole text here

It was an edge-of-your-seat, deep-in-good-drama, AWESOMELY TOLD story!!”

What are you waiting for? GO GET YOUR COPY! 😀

 


 An Ugly Truth…

eye_eyelid_face

 Did you know? One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.  An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each  year. 85% of domestic violence victims are women. Historically, females have been most  often victimized by someone they knew. Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the  greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence. Most cases of domestic violence are  never reported to the police. (Statistics taken from www.ncadv.com)

 Domestic Violence is a topic that people often shy away from. It’s almost like a taboo  subject that carries a “What goes on behind closed doors is nobody’s business” line of  reasoning. But people see and hear and speculate and gossip.

 I know. I grew up in a home fueled with alcohol and domestic violence.

There has been more attention brought to the subject lately, a larger outcry to end the violence. The recent media frenzy over an incident involving a certain pro-football player showed the world that no one is immune. Anyone from poverty stricken families, to professional athletes, to members of law enforcement can be hiding their pain and shame behind closed doors.

If you or someone you know needs help, please call your local law enforcement or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.


 Author Bio

Author PhotoBeth Hale writes about what she knows: strong, Southern women and the men who love them. She twines believable characters, realistic circumstances, and heart-felt emotions together to create sassy, sexy contemporary romances. She draws inspiration from the everyday life problems we all face and expands them into vivid, interesting, hard-to-put-down stories.

She learned the joys of reading from her mother, and her love affair with books has only grown stronger. If she isn’t breathing life into a new character, she is trying to make a dent in her large to-be-read pile.

Beth lives in a small town in Mississippi with her own real-life hero and two children. They share the house with a variety of pets. When she is not working her “day job” as an E-911 dispatcher, you can find her curled up on her couch, with a blanket, a cup of coffee, and a notebook.

Book Blurb

Walker and Lainey share one explosive night together, and he awakens to find her gone. Shrugging it off as just a glorious one-night stand, he accepts a new job in a new town, New Hope, Mississippi. That’s where he finds Lainey again. She just happens to be married to the Chief of Police—and Walker’s new boss.

Lainey is terrified that Walker will divulge their secret. If he does, Lainey is a dead woman. But despite the danger, she can’t forget the one passionate night she spent in Walker’s arms.

Walker demands answers from Lainey: What secret is she hiding? Why is she so afraid? And when people begin dying, he wants to get to the bottom of it. Why is the police chief trying to brush off the deaths? Why doesn’t he want Walker to work the cases? What kind of secrets is he hiding?

Drawn together, unable to deny their passion, they risk their lives. Lainey is trapped. Walker is determined to save her and uncover the truth. Can they expose the secrets before a ruthless man destroys any hope for a brighter future?
