The Power of Love and Murder by Brenda Whiteside


Hi Liz and readers! So happy to be here and introduce you to my latest release. Christmas and Politics. Joy and Jeopardy. Love and Murder. That’s how it all comes together in my latest release, The Power of Love and Murder, A Wild Horse Peaks Novel book 3.

The third book in the Wild Horse Peaks Novels released yesterday. Penny Sparks, nicknamed the Black Fairy because of her penchant for Goth dress and small stature, played a minor character in the first book of the series, The Art of Love and Murder. One of my critique partners suggested she needed her own book. When I opened to the idea, wow, did Penny lay a story on me. The Power of Love and Murder was off and running.

This book had double the villain fun with an FBI agent turned bad and a crooked politician willing to murder to get to the White House. I had a fair share of research to bring these two nasty characters onto the page.

More fun ensued when the hero of the book turned out to be a hot, but washed up, rock and roll star. Jake will steal your heart. And I finally got to use a scene from real-life, thanks to my brother who spent one awful night in a cheap motel years ago. I’d laughed so hard when he told the story, I knew I’d use it someday in one of my books.


Penny’s secrets can ruin the presidential contender who ordered her family’s murder
…and mark her as the next hit.

Penny Spark’s desire to reconnect with family this Christmas exposes her true identity—a secret she’s hidden for thirteen years from the political powers that murdered her family.

Jake Winters is out of rehab and coming to grips with his demons. When he meets Penny, he believes this holiday season could be the start of life after rock star status…until her secrets blow up his world.

With a government agent turned hit man closing in on her, Penny and Jake race to expose the presidential contender who targeted her family. Even if they win the race with death, the murder that stands between them could end their hopes for a new life…and love.
