When three
young women in their early 20’s are raped and strangled, former police
Detective, Michael Carven enters into a horrific chase to catch a
serial
killer. Now retired and running a horse ranch in Montana, Michael has to hire a new
trainer
to take over so he can work on the investigation. Micheal hires Jessica
Stanson
who he believed to be a man. Michael tries to get out of hiring Jessica
when he
realizes who she is since he doesn’t want a woman living in his house,
but
Jessica proves her worth as a trainer and he agrees to let her stay on.
While
working on his investigation, Michael falls hard for Jessica. But he is
concerned as the serial killer comes closer to home and Jessica happens
to fit
the profile of the victims who have been raped and murdered. Is Jessica at risk? Can Michael catch the
killer before it is too late? Will the small town in Riverdale, Montana
ever be the same?

Whittier’s Fatal Embrace is an
action-packed suspense tale that keeps readers on the edge of their
seat. With
a few twists and turns, Ms. Whittier pens a great tale that should keep
readers
coming back for more by this author. The scenery and characters
descriptions
are vivid and precise. A reader can envision this story while reading
it, as if
it is playing on the big screen.
Not only is
Fatal Embrace rife with
passion from the characters and suspense, it also covers many genres.
This tale
has it all – a western atmosphere, contemporary romance, suspenseful
mystery,
and each are confidently penned by this author. I hope Ms. Whittier has
another
release soon. I look forward to it!
