Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/DRM-free) Cold Deception [Australian Crime Suspense w/Romance]

[ATDrake]

Cold Deception by Sydney-resident author and former criminal lawyer D. B. Tait is the 1st in her Dark Mountain series of crime suspense thrillers with f/m romantic elements starring a newly-released prisoner who finds herself caught up in further mysterious murders apparently following from her original crime, and the Detective Inspector who tries to help her while hiding his own dark secrets, this installment setting up her release from prison and initial attempt to move on before they go and draw her back in, free courtesy of publisher Pan Macmillan Australia's Momentum imprint.

This is being made free to promote the newly-released 2nd-in-series, which apparently reveals even more about the ties in her former past which may still be targeting her, as well as continuing to build on the hinted romantic attraction. NB: the blurb for Desperate Deception contains a mention of something which might be considered a rather important surprise character revelation in the 1st novel, if you want to avoid spoilers.

Currently free @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians and DRM-free at Kobo), and directly from the publisher's webstore (DRM-free ePub/Mobi bundle available worldwide).
