ROMANTIC SUSPENSE AUTHOR MICHELLE GREY'S NEW SERIES

Michelle Grey is an avid lover of books and people. She writes contemporary romantic suspense and loves to take her characters to the brink of disaster before they arrive alive and in love on the other side. Michelle is also an ovarian cancer survivor who encourages women to listen to their bodies and be aware of the subtle symptoms of this quiet killer. Learn more about Michelle and her books at her website.           

Hey! I’m Michelle Grey, writer of contemporary romantic mystery/suspense. Thanks for letting me visit today. I hope everyone is well and that your time at home in recent weeks has allowed you the opportunity to slow down and catch up on your never-ending TBR pile. That’s been my goal as well!

If I’m a new-to-you author, I have published three books in the Long Shot Series, one novella, and a short nonfiction story about my experience with ovarian cancer.

My newest release, A Chance Worth Taking, is the first novel in my Worth It Series. The story is set in the picturesque San Juan Mountain town of Ouray, Colorado. On a trip there a few years ago with my husband and son, we visited a preserved ghost town. The place was so quiet and so serene, a place where nothing bad could ever happen. Of course, my mind naturally went down the path of playing out what would happen if someone came across a dead body there, so far removed from town.

And, this book was born.

If you read the first chapter excerpt from Amazon or my website, you’ll find that’s exactly where the story starts. My heroine, Hadley Bruce, is as career focused and security conscious as they come. She has never been on a vacation and had no plans to take one, but trouble at work and her cousin Sophie’s persuasion lead her straight to Ouray.

From the moment she finds the young man’s body on the mountainside, her life is turned upside down. Not only is she a potential murder suspect, she falls for a gorgeous man and his adorable dog – two more complications that weren’t part of her master plan for at least a few more years.

But for love to win, both Hadley and Noah will have to overcome the specters of their past and learn to trust each other through betrayal and heartache.

This story was such a joy to write. I truly love these characters and the struggles they go through to get to the other side of their personal mountains. It was also fun to write Sophie, Hadley’s cousin. She was a great foil to Hadley’s more serious side, and she was instrumental in persuading Hadley to take a chance on life and love. You’ll get to know Sophie more in book two, A Love Worth Saving, coming out later this year.

A Chance Worth Taking
The Worth It Series, Book 1

Straight-laced accountant Hadley Bruce has her life mapped out in meticulous detail. Everything is humming along according to plan until her boss unexpectedly forces her to take a sabbatical. Then her carefree cousin Sophie browbeats her into a trip to the San Juan Mountains. Oh, then there’s the dead body.

Private Investigator Noah Dalton is hired to find out who’s trying to frame his client – wealthy businessman and gubernatorial candidate Miguel Herrera. Noah heads under cover to the quaint town of Ouray Colorado where he meets Hadley, his first suspect.

What neither of them expected was their instant, powerful attraction.

As the killer’s web surrounds Noah and Hadley, they must work together to unearth the town’s secrets and keep the killer from striking again. Fate brings them together, but Noah’s own secrets may ultimately tear them apart.
