When Noonday Ends
When a new attorney accepts a pro-bono case of an abused woman
suspected of attempted murder, he ends up with more than he bargained for.
She’s the ex-wife of one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Ashville, and
her in-laws will stop at nothing to conceal family secrets—even murder.
Unable to ignore his attraction, he gets closer than he should. But
when all evidence points to the woman he’s falling in love with, he will risk
everything—his reputation, disbarment, maybe even his life to uncover the
truth.
Bio for Carmen
DeSousa:
Carmen
characterizes her stories as modern-day fairytales, as they overflow with
romance, mystery, suspense, and of course, tragedy. After all, what would a
fairytale be without a tragic event setting the stage? All of her novels are
sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic and will make you cry, gasp,
laugh, love, and hope.
Her
first two novels, She Belongs to Me and Land of the
Noonday Sun, have reached bestseller status
right alongside Nicholas Sparks, J.D. Robb, and other great authors. Her third
novel, Entangled Dreams,
just published September 2012.
All
of her novels are standalones; however, she does link each of her stories with
a little surprise. If you read out of order, you'll never notice. But if you
read in order, it's fun.

Excerpt from When
Noonday Ends
Sitting at the back
of the courtroom, Tom’s mind wandered. One person after another approached the
judge, claiming their innocence. He hated doing this, but the law firm where he
worked required all new attorneys to accept hardship cases. To get your feet wet, they’d said.
Like his father
before him, he’d chosen a career as an attorney. And for once in his life, his
parents were actually proud of him.
Still, most attorneys
spent their days off golfing. He couldn’t stand golf, but he’d give anything to
be kayaking right now. Often he thought of changing careers, as his best friend
Chad had done. He had thrown away four years of medical school to manage an
outdoor store he’d inherited from his parents. Tom had always thought that it
had been a stupid decision, but now he wondered. His best friend was married to
a beautiful woman, had a son, and could kayak every day if he wanted.
What Tom really
wanted was to take a few months off from life and hike the Appalachian Trail.
After the year he’d had, he really needed some time away from life—all life.
But then, his parents would be disappointed, and he’d really miss his niece,
Samantha. His sister had been one of the wildest women he’d ever known. But
since she’d had Sam, she’d finally settled down and was trying to be a good
mother. Being a single mother wasn’t easy, and Michelle needed him. If only to
give her at least one night a week to unwind.
Tom threw his head
back and closed his eyes. Just the smell of the courthouse was grading on him
today. The oil they’d used on the old wooden floors was giving him a migraine.
“No contest, Your
Honor.” A soft country voice roused him from his brooding.
Tom forced his eyes
to focus on the woman standing in front of the judge. It couldn’t be. The
smooth blond hair, that beautiful country voice. Brandy? He shook his head to clear it. Brandy was dead; he’d shot
her more than a year ago.
Thank you for letting me stop by today, Marie!
