Three Steps From Death

Private investigator Deckard MacLeod has waited three months for Harper Grace to return from her humanitarian work overseas, but the woman who arrives on his porch is worn down and desolate.

Harper, a forensic botanist, needs the refuge only Deckard can give, yet after what she endured she cannot imagine giving him the whole, present partner he deserves.

She has barely set foot on his ranch when a dear friend dies of a sudden heart attack in her early thirties, and the official story does not ring true.

As clues surface and suspects come into view, Harper trusts her instincts to lead them both, while Deckard stays close as a protector at heart.

Every answer pulls them nearer to a killer’s plan, and one careless move could make them the next to die.
