My Guest: Val Clarizio and Her New Book

Val Clarizio is a long-time friend and fellow WisRWA best-selling author, and I'm pleased to celebrate her and her newest book, just released in e-book yesterday.

A Brush with Death is book #2 in The Crime and Passion Stalk City Hall Series, and is a steamy mystery, but I'll let her explain all that.

Tag Line: To prove his undying love and loyalty, he'll risk sacrificing her trust. 

Blurb: 

Ben Deprez has been secretly in love with Cori for years and knowing of her wounded heart has him waiting impatiently for the right time to make his move. Now is the time, and Cori seems receptive, but Ben's past still haunts him. He's never been that guy who can say or do the right thing when it comes to women. His divorce is proof.

Cori Pierre-Simon has had about all she can take working two jobs to support her family since her ex left without a trace ten years earlier. The last thing she needs is to get involved with another man who would surely disappoint her.

Just when Cori decides to open her heart to Ben, women he holds key information about turn up dead. Then, when she uncovers an unusual connection between Ben and another woman, she realizes she should have never trusted him and his womanizing ways.

When Cori's son finds himself in an illegal predicament, he turns to Ben for help. Ben answers the call for aid full-well knowing that in helping the teenager he will risk losing Cori's trust, the very thing he's worked hard to earn. Ben is left hoping she loves him enough to forgive him for the decisions he's made to right the wrongs of her son and himself.
