It&#8217;s been floating around in my head for awhile now\u00a0and needs to have its story told.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa Miller has had her share of bad luck when it comes to finding love. When her date from Hell winds up murdered in her bakery, Tessa figures she&#8217;s down for the count.

It gets even more interesting when Ryan discovers there&#8217;s a hell of a lot more to Tessa than meets the eye.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And just for fun, here are a few teasers from my first three books:<\/p>\n<p>Demons<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/property-of-Jase.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-492\" src=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/property-of-Jase-187x300.jpg\" alt=\"property of Jase\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/property-of-Jase-187x300.jpg 187w, http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/property-of-Jase.jpg 339w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Damages<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pablo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-499 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pablo-300x150.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pablo-300x150.png 300w, http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pablo-768x384.png 768w, http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/pablo.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Deceptions<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/He-Left-teaser2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-493\" src=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/He-Left-teaser2-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"He Left teaser2\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/He-Left-teaser2-300x189.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/He-Left-teaser2-768x484.jpg 768w, http:\/\/rjvancleave.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/He-Left-teaser2.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my website!
