HA!  Like I'd tell you.

OR:  We could use the bio I have up on the web...

"My mother would tell you, 'Jade’s a natural-born prevaricator, fabricator, and all-around manipulator of the facts.' She’s been saying that ever since I could talk, but I don’t think she strictly means it in a nice way."

Jade loves to spin a good yarn. Like a front-porch fisherman on a lazy summer evening, she strives to recount a colorful, humorous, and sometimes staggering narrative, both stirring and passionate. She also loves to leave you in tears, whether from laughter, joy, or sorrow.

"Do you really care how many dogs, cats, kids, or men I live with? All kidding aside, I live with Rizzo the wondermutt, one beautiful daughter, and the sexiest man on the planet. My dog is my constant companion and the source of the strange noises and odors emanating from beneath my desk. My husband is my willing research partner and better half. My daughter constantly amazes."

SHATTERED LEGACY

Jade Rivers -- Aspen Mountain Press

St. Catherine’s International School of Business is a peaceful retreat for the over-privileged children of the Elite, where they are gently guided through a remedial academic program with white-gloved hands, ensuring a prestigious diploma to hang in the family library.  The faculty and students are stunned when someone dares to disturb the secluded peace of the College..

Sean O’Riley is a soft-spoken, cunningly charming security consultant, dispatched by the New York Archdiocese to look into the murder of the young woman at the exclusive Catholic college in the mountains.  Agent Hilary Scott is a stone-cold barracuda, heading up the investigation for the NY State Bureau of Investigations.  She’s suspects the real reason the archdiocese brought in their own man was to whitewash the investigation.  In spite of their conflicting goals, Sean and Hilary can’t deny the sparks of romance that flare from their very first encounter.

Present day tragedy is intertwined with a long-buried, secret shame of St. Catherine’s, and it comes back to haunt the student body.   When an old scandal rears its ugly head, it places the young women of St. Catherine in imminent danger. 

 

What people are saying...  

A Romance Review: 4.5 Roses -- Shattered Legacy by Jade Rivers is a terrific murder mystery. Ms. Rivers did a great job of weaving this tale of murder, mayhem and madness together. It kept me on the edge of my seat all the way to the end! (Pam L)
 

TWOLIPS REVIEWS: 4.5 Lips -- Shattered Legacy is in the category of books I refer to as “warm, comfortable, curl-up-by-a-roaring-fire books”: the kind that feels like putting on a cozy comforter, a relaxing, enjoyable, intriguing mystery with plenty of sensuality to warm up the suspense. If you prefer suspenseful stories with a psychological background, great scene-setting, and a fast-moving plot, coupled with several surprising revelations and more than one potential romance, definitely settle in with this winner! I’m definitely going to seek out more stories from Jade Rivers.  (Frost)
