Secrets of the heart aren’t the only things hiding in this small Indiana town. So is a hunter who likes to kill on the darkest of nights… For two years, Ethan has done his best to keep his distance from his best friend’s sister. But the sweetly sexy blonde is everywhere he turns these days, armed and dangerous with insulting comebacks, sarcastic sass, and sultry looks that tempt a man to do foolish things like ask her out or kiss her senseless. If he trips over her one more time, he can’t be held responsible for what happens next... Beth has loved Ethan for over a decade. He doesn’t know, and she isn’t about to tell him. Without a doubt, the surly, dark-haired detective would use her feelings as a weapon against her in their increasingly bitter war of words. But when people begin disappearing from their small town, they’re forced to work together to figure out what’s going on. If they can keep from killing - or kissing - each other in the meantime, that is. Just as their attraction boils over, Beth is trapped in the hunter’s deadly crosshairs. Despite his best efforts, Ethan might not get to her in time. And once the dust settles, they may never pick up all the broken pieces again... Hunted is the second book in the Olman County Series, Women's Fiction novels of Small Town Romantic Suspense.

And as long-held secrets spill out, not everyone will come out of this game alive… Homecoming is the first book in the Olman County Series, Women's Fiction novels of Small Town Romantic Suspense.

"Carla Olman Peperzak donned a blue-and-white nurse's uniform and made her way to Amsterdam's Central Station. She had received word that an aunt and five cousins would be passing through on the way to Westerbork, the Nazi detention center in northeast Holland. Her uncle had already been seized by the Nazis. So when Peperzak found her relatives in a railcar waiting on the tracks she asked if she could take the youngest one. She carried the toddler off the train. But the station was teeming with German soldiers, and a couple of them stopped her. Who are you and where are you going, they wanted to know. Peperzak was a teenage wartime Dutch Resistance operative who, by her estimation, helped hide approximately 40 Jews from the Germans during World War II. She forged identification papers for about five dozen others, served as a messenger for the Underground movement and helped publish a newsletter of Allied Forces' activities on a banned mimeograph machine. These are not the things she told the Nazis. In German, which she had learned in school as well as from her Austrian nanny, Peperzak said the boy was sick and needed to get to a hospital. She was young, attractive and Jewish. She was also disguised as a German nurse, with a stolen medical identification card in her pocket. If her true identity had been discovered, "That would have been the end of me." Still, she didn't consider herself particularly brave. Her resistance was born of gratitude. Peperzak didn't wear a star. So she helped those who did. "I was 18, 19, 20. I was not married. I did not have any responsibility - only for myself - and that made a big difference," she said. "I felt I could help. I had the opportunity.""
