Far From Bliss

Shattered by the past

Michael Novak was a US Marshal with his whole life figured out. Right up until the woman he called partner betrayed him. He’s been hiding in Bliss, CO, trying to pull himself out of the darkness. The only bright light is Lucy Carson. Something about Trio’s favorite waitress calls to him, but he can’t trust his instincts anymore. 

Yearning for the future

Lucy has loved Tyler since they were kids, but he never seemed to feel the same way. She worried she would never want a man the way she does Ty, and then Michael grumbled his way into her world. Beyond the broody exterior she sees a burning fire in his eyes, and she is drawn to that flame. 

The time is finally right

Ty knows Lucy is the one for him, but Lucy wrote him off romantically long ago. If he could get her to see him in a different light, he knows she would realize that they’re perfect for each other. His obstacle is the town’s reclusive former lawman, Michael. But this is Bliss. A rival can turn into a partner for the right woman. And Lucy is definitely the right woman.

Ty approaches Michael with a plan to get Lucy between them. A bargain is made, and Lucy is their target. But Lucy is already in much more dangerous crosshairs. Murder has come to Bliss, and Lucy is at the center of the investigation.

• It was so much fun to be back in Bliss! While Nell and Henry's story was the first I got to write after many years, this was the first brand new threesome story. All three characters have been around for awhile. Lucy has been waitressing at Trio. Michael has been hiding out since Found in Bliss, and Ty has been...well, Ty's been busy. We've got some Texas Sirens connection in this one as a good portion of it happens at the lodge owned by Cole, Mason, and Kitten. They don't actually show up but their suite is used. We get to see a whole bunch of Bliss trios, get Henry's opinion of Murder She Wrote, and Nell gets to j'accuse a killer.
