Ashton's Secret, by Liana Laverentz

From the moment he’d caught her snooping on his property, Meghan Edwards knew Nicholas Hawkinson was the man she’d been looking for. But would this dark, secretive stranger help her solve the mystery of her sister's death?

Nicholas Hawkinson wanted nothing to do with the city-girl photographer who asked too many questions. Five years ago the people of Ashton had been all too quick to accuse him of murder. They still considered him the town’s black sheep, a bad boy at best and a killer who got away with it at most. The smartest thing for both of them would be to never mention Heather again.

Her sister was dead, and Meghan knew it wasn't suicide. So did Nick. Whether he liked it or not, Ashton’s most dangerous man was the only one who could help her now. And Meghan wasn't leaving until she'd unraveled this sleepy little town's secret--or died trying.



Liana Laverentz is the author of three contemporary romances with The Wild Rose Press: Thin Ice, Jake’s Return, and Ashton’s Secret, a murder mystery romance. Thin Ice is a 2007 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award winner, a 2008 EPPIE winner for best contemporary romance, and was a nominee for Best Romance of 2007 at Long and Short Reviews. Jake’s Return is a 2008 NJRW Golden Leaf Award winner. For more information, go to my website.

Book Review Submission Guidelines


If you've published a book, I want to read it!

I am open to submissions from traditional, e- and self-publishers.

I love contemporary, romance, fantasy, science fiction, suspense, western and young adult novels. I shy away from gore for the sake of gore, horror, and eroticism that verges on porn. If you send something that simply doesn't work for me, I will let you know so you can send it elsewhere.

Send a note with the title of your novel, its format, and a brief (one paragraph) description to Editor Jennifer. I will email back submission details.

"Jennifer Feddersen has an eye for detail that didn't just improve my novel, but my writing. Feddersen pointed out the problems with my novel along with how to fix and spot them on my own. She also picked up on issues dealing with the depth of my characters. Her report was professional and honest. She gave me the type of feedback that is priceless in the publishing industry. I will definitely use her again."

I loved the detailed and time-consuming edit Jennifer Fedderson did for my novel. I believe that her professional feedback and comprehensive review have strengthened my voice, style and overall marketability. I look forward to working with Jennifer again on more projects. And I will absolutely recommend her editing services to anyone who wants to take their writing to the next level.

More About Jennifer...

Jennifer's fate was sealed when she aced the English portion of the SAT and received a BA in English from the University of Pennsylvania (with a concentration in Medieval Languages - Latin, Old English, Old Icelandic and a smidge of Greek). Although she briefly tried finance, child care, and even a foray into chicken farming, she couldn't escape her destiny - working with the written word.

From tutoring high school students to pass the SAT, to writing and editing copy for a distributing/manufacturing company, to teaching Latin, to writing romance novellas, to creating AudioLark Audio Books, Jennifer has used her talent for spotting mistakes to benefit employers, clients and friends.
