While scuba diving off the coast of Diamond Head with her diving partner on a quest

to find a family heirloom, underwater photographer Dominique St. John witnesses his

brutal murder and photographs it, ensnaring her in a deadly jewel ring. Then when

the investigating officer turns out to be her partner’s identical twin, a man she

knew nothing about, her life becomes a Charade of Hearts.

Welcome to the world of greed, intrigue, deception and murder. At its core is a blue

diamond worth millions.

As honest as his twin was corrupt, Honolulu Homicide Detective Oliver Carvalho must

convince Dominique that her diving partner and best friend was a crook. In a race

against time, Oliver must rescue her from a ruthless killer, but his biggest challenge

proves to be Dominique herself. Her heart has been torn by betrayal and can only

be redeemed with love.

REVIEW

Charade of Hearts is every bit the adventure the wonderfully suitable cover suggests!

Dominique St. John and her partner, the utterly wonderful Roberto, set off to photograph a shipwreck, but also to locate a very specific treasure. They are not far from the stunningly beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. For long moments at the start, we are distracted with the “wild and exotic beauty…of …majestic mountains … pristine beaches…butterfly and reef fish…” and even the contrast of light at the horizon. Then Roberto

is murdered.

It’s a shocking event; and perhaps a spoiler to mention here, but that event happens early and seems the true start of this dramatic, suspenseful tale. Roberto was targeted, through the very eyes of the man who ordered

it: the Dragon. We see and understand just that hint more than Dominique does, and so sense the growing danger she faces.

The beauty of the backdrop for this tale is so well described, fans of Hawaii will be thrilled to read, and those who aren’t, will be fans by the time they finish. Descriptions are truly almost poetically enchanting, often in sharpcontrast to the actual activity in any scene.

BLURB

From the shadows of the woods, he keeps vigil. The stage is set to drive the pretty

little princess insane. He’s coming for her. And when he catches her, he’ll pounce

on her like the big bad wolf.

After receiving a disturbing fan letter, New York Times best-selling author Tess Kincaid flees to the New England home she’s inherited following her father’s death.

The manor has been tainted, every room staged to resemble the way it was in its glory days. However when Tess calls the police, the chilling props vanish into thin air.

Ruggedly handsome Sheriff Mike Andretti is called to investigate the reported burning candles, dancing gargoyles and otherworldly events. When he discovers no trace of the eerie setting, he finds himself caught between duty and desire. Is the woman with the bewitching green eyes delusional or is this a trap of twisted wit set by a demented fan?

REVIEW

Award-winning author Tess Kincaid doesn’t want to know her biggest fan. He’s gotten way too close. Somehow. She can’t know he’s a particularly predatory photographer.

She does know he’s been in her home. What he doesn't know is she’s leaving: leaving New York and her stylish condo, and returning to her charming coastal-Maine roots.

The tense drive, the dramatic storm all amount to nothing, compared to what she’s escaping. Only – will she escape? For in her Dad’s old home, another chilling scene awaits…or then again, does it? Donovan cleverly plays with believability in this chilling tale.

Our main character sees and hears things no one else does. When she arrives, Tess wastes no time getting help, and the local sheriff, Mike Andretti seems so sympathetic…yet even he cannot find the hint of a stalker.

Donovan has a wonderful ability to ratchet up the suspense from a creepy feeling all the way up to terror (and everywhere in between.)

Her Biggest Fan will appeal to fans of the classic suspense/thriller for sure!

This is an exceptional combination of suspense and romance. Make this one a ‘Must read.’
