The Dangers to Hearts M A Lee

Arson uncovers a baffling murder from the past. Can love survive when past troubles rise up like a many-headed monster?

When Agatha's lover abandoned her years ago, she poured herself into her family's property, Helmes Farm. The estate, though, is in financial trouble after mismanagement by three successive stewards. She needs someone honest to help.

Jess Carter evaded arrest for smuggling. The smuggler's fence offers him a job at Helmes Farm. Yet Jess discovers that Agatha actually owns the farm, and his loyalties are divided when she hires him as the steward.

Then hatred burns into a fire in the night. The arson reveals an old murder. The vanished fiancé didn't leave-he was murdered.

Who is the arsonist? Who is the murderer? Are the arsonist and the murderer the same person? Or have two people been poisoned by hatred?

Dangerous mystery is mixed with romance in The Dangers to Hearts, the sixth novel in the loosely connected Hearts in Hazard series of mysteries and suspense. Visit www.writersinkbooks.com for more information about the series and other books by M. A. Lee.

The character of Jess Carter was introduced in the first Hearts in Hazard book, A Game of Secrets. Reading that novel will enrich your experience, but it is not necessary.
