In ONE DARK WISH, book 2 in the Deadly Force series, the heroine Sarah Munro is an 18th century historian searching for the truth behind why Rebecca Prioleau, a 16-year-old Puritan girl and renowned healer, was accused of witchcraft and murdered in Savannah, GA in 1699.
Unfortunately, Sarah’s search attracts the attention of a savage arms dealer and the leader of the Fianna, a mysterious group of assassins. Sarah’s research also brings her in contact with the sexy hero, Green Beret Nate Walker. Before the story starts, Sarah spent years collecting Rebecca’s recipes and recreating them for her own personal use. Now I’m sharing Sarah’s herbal recipes with you!
