The Mansfield Stories
an Express Investigations duology - Books 1 & 2
Three
stories. Two books. One destination.
Road to the Mansfield:
A swamp rat-turned lady, a hotshot
southern attorney, and a small-town dreamer endure life’s cruel twists on the
way to Hollywood’s swanky Mansfield Supper Club.
Louisiana, 1927. A brutal
fate sweeps seventeen-year-old Francie Roubideaux from the Louisiana bayou to
the iron rule of Miss Claire in New Orleans. She survives using her daddy’s
wits and mama’s grace, but fickle fortune isn’t done with her yet….
Illinois, 1937. Rose
Donovan’s dreary small-town life takes a turn when a New York City music man
whisks her away to Hollywood. But soon she’s torn between addictive passion and
another man’s arms…and more than Rose’s heart is on the line.
Georgia, 1936. A rising
star on the Atlanta legal circuit, Beau Hartwell is the envy of every lawyer in
the city…until his past desperately comes to call. Can big-city Beau handle backwoods
justice, or will the case break more than his career?
Murder at the Mansfield:
In one fateful night, their worlds
collide in ways no one saw coming…
Hollywood, 1940. When the
Mansfield Gala ends in murder, Rose is arrested in a seemingly open and shut
case. Reluctant attorney Beau is lured into action…and love with mysterious
songstress Ruby Rae Frances. As the story unfolds, what Beau and the Express
Investigations team discover can save Rose, but at what price?
