Victoria House Book Blurb
Haunted by a dark mystery
in her family’s past...
When Tori Downing takes possession of the abandoned Hamilton
estate on the longest peninsula on Lake Jefferson, Arkansas, she avoids
revealing her connection to the ill-fated Hamilton family. Is the glowing image
that shimmers in the second floor window of Victoria House the ghost of
Victoria Hamilton? Can Tori handle moving into a house with paranormal
activity...again?
Tormented by a scandal
she thought she’d left behind...
Until she leaves her career at the Arkansas State Crime Lab
behind, she never even considers moving to Lake Jefferson, but the fallout from
scandal gives Tori a very good reason to escape to Hill County and refurbish
and restore the old family mansion. She settles into her new life...until the
old accusations from her past start resurfacing.
Attracted to a man
haunted by secrets of his own...
Drawn together to solve the murder of Jared Crenshaw, Tori and
Lt. Grayson of the Hill County Sheriff’s Department dive into a tangled web of
jealousy, deceit, and revenge as they attempt to solve both crimes, Jared’s
death and the mysterious death years ago of Victoria Hamilton. Grayson’s past
keeps interfering with his present, causing turmoil in both his professional
life and his personal life. Can their love survive revealing the truth—from
both the past and present—surrounding the tragedies at Victoria House?
Author Denise Moncrief Bio:
Suspense, She Writes
Where the road to happily ever after takes a suspenseful
detour. Fast paced twists and turns that keep you turning the pages. Romantic
happily ever after moments that take your breath away. Paranormal romantic
suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Want to know a little bit more about Denise? She's a Southern
girl who has lived in Louisiana all her life, and yes, she has a drawl. She has
a wonderful husband and two incredible children, who not only endure her
writing moods, but also encourage her to indulge her writing passion. Besides
writing romantic suspense, she enjoys traveling, reading, and scrapbooking.
Accounting is a skill she has learned to earn a little money to
support her writing habit. She wrote her first story when she was a teen,
seventeen handwritten pages on school-ruled paper and an obvious rip-off of the
last romance novel she had read. She's been writing off and on ever since, and
with more than a few full-length manuscripts already completed, she has no desire
to slow down.

Snippet #2
Through the thick branches of trees, a lone light glowed
from the second story of Victoria House. Was that her room? Was she still
awake? Would she die with the horrible realization that he was the man who had
executed a swift punishment for the crimes of her past? She was no saint, but
then he was no sinner. He was a dark angel of retribution.
The woman who had become mistress of Victoria House was the
last of the men and women who had stolen his future. He’d made everyone who
ruined his misbegotten life pay for his or her sins against him. Five souls had
paid for their cruelty and selfishness with their lives. Each had passed into
the afterlife with a horrified expression of understanding spreading across
their faces. Hers would be the sixth offering to appease his need for
vengeance.
Sooner or later, the law would catch up to him. Maybe
sooner. But that was all right. Once he had her blood on his hands, he didn’t
care what happened to him afterwards. His life had been over for a long, long
time.
Just incase you have forgotten from when I blogged about Book 1: Laurel Heights, here it is again!
(and yes, I'm sharing it mostly because
CHRIS HEMSWORTH
is one of the picks.
Hehehehe!)
Haunted Hearts Series main character casting!!!
Laurel Standridge
would be played by...
Kate Hudson
Laurel
ran away from an abusive relationship, but has plenty of backbone. Not
only does she stand up to Chase, but she fearlessly confronts the bad
guys. She has dark blonde hair, long enough to put in a ponytail, but
she usually allows it to curl around her face.
Chase Peterson
would be played by...
Bradley Cooper
Chase
is a handyman, construction worker. Long hair, but not too long. Keeps
it in a short ponytail when he works. His has a rugged face and a strong
jaw. He's an ex-cop, ex-con with plenty of baggage in his past. His
rough around the edges persona is quickly softened by Laurel
Mitchell (Gray) Grayson
Would be played by...
Chris Hemsworth (YES!!!!)
Lieutenant

symmetrical face. Piercing blue eyes. Gray is a man whose compassion and
loyalty to his friends has landed him into a world of trouble. With so
many secrets to hide, he can't handle one more.

would be played by...
Stana Katic
Tori
is a crime scene specialist and a forensics geek. Her long auburn hair
and hazel, almost greens eyes capture Grayson's attention. She is
strong-minded and very opinionated. She goes toe-to-toe with Gray, but
finds she'd rather not fight with him.
