Sneak Peek: She Belongs to Me

Today we have a sneak peek from author Carmen DeSousa’s romantic suspense novel, She Belongs to Me.

When construction company owner and detective, Jordan Monroe, meets Jaynee he determines to make her his wife. Jaynee, however, has a history she cannot easily overcome and is fearful to submit to love. Jordan succeeds in making her his wife, but five years into their marriage, she is keeping secrets. Before he can decipher her duplicity, he discovers her unconscious in their home from a gunshot wound only hours after giving her an ultimatum concerning their relationship.

With Jaynee’s life hanging in the balance, the mystery of her past drives Jordan to investigate. But what appears to be an attempted suicide turns out to be something far darker. As Jordan edges closer to the truth, it may be deadlier than he could ever have imagined.

She Belongs to Me is available in print and as an eBook from Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble and other online bookstores.

And now, a page from She Belongs to Me … Continue reading “Sneak Peek: She Belongs to Me”

Featured Author: Silvano Williams

Silvano Williams was born in Puerto Rico in 1975 and moved to Houston, Texas during his teen years. There he went to High School and College and began courses to obtain a Minor in Creative Writing. During his school years, Silvano became an avid reader and writer for the sole purpose of mastering the English language. Although his writing generally received a good reception, he did not take his talents seriously, so he gave away many of his stories to friends or simply threw them away. Not being able to jump into a field of study relating to the entertainment business, coupled with having to make several hard choices in his life, he refocused his career and dropped out of college.

With the advent of computers becoming a common household item and a new technology era happening during that time, the choice between a career path and his artistic nature became a logical affair, and Information Technology became his new passion while writing was set aside as a hobby. However, after almost two decades of daydreaming and enjoying the emergence of new mediums of entertainment and publishing, Silvano has reopened the doors to his imagination planning to expose the world to the crazy universes living inside his head. Currently, he resides in Katy, Texas with his wife and two children. And yes, they think he is crazy too.

Lear more about Silvano from his Amazon author page and his website.
