When Mary O Flournoy isn't plotting murders (on paper, of course), she's writing small town romantic suspense from her home in Northern California, where everybody knows everybody and that is exactly the problem.

Her By Love series is set in Feldspar, a town where the danger is never a stranger passing through. It's the neighbor, the badge, the family name. The books are funny and warm right up until they aren't, and the love story is what survives the wreckage.

A first-generation Portuguese-American with a background in biological sciences, Mary brings grit, heart, and a believable alibi to every story she tells. She's been married for over thirty years to her real-life book boyfriend, and together they've raised two daughters who make every plot twist worth it.

Just don't ask her why she knows so much about alibi creation. She'll tell you it's all for research.

Small town. Deadly secrets. A love story with a body count.

This is the discreet cover edition. Same story, same heat, different art.

In Feldspar, everybody knows everybody. Nobody knows everything.

The By Love series is small town romantic suspense. A different couple every book, the same nosy friends turning up in all of them, and a threat that is never a stranger passing through. It is the neighbor. The badge. The family name.

Somebody in this town is lying. Somebody else is falling in love. It's a small town. There's overlap.

Where the men are strong, the women are stronger, and the suspense might keep you up at night. But the romance definitely will.

Start with Wrecked By Love.
