For all of you Carmen DeSousa fans who have read Land of the Noonday Sun, you've already meet and fallen in love with one of the supporting characters, Tom Turner, the best friend of Chad Wilkinson. As you know, Tom was not left in a happy place.  Per fan request , Carmen wrote another novel, just for him, and the fans!In Land of the Noonday Sun, readers we meet several secondary characters that leave you guessing as to 'whodunit'.  The writing is so masterful that it's hard to decide who's the real bad guy. Just when you think you've figured it out, some plot twist pops up sending you in another direction, or the character you thought was the bad guy ends up being saving the day. In this case, that was Tom (okay, that was a mini spoiler, but believe me, there's enough unmentioned characters to keep you guessing!). Saving the day left him with a broken heart and alone. Not to mention a memory that will haunt him for the rest of his life.Which brings us to When Noonday Ends, the second book in the Nantahala Series.Tom Turner is an attorney just out of law school and in the process of getting his feet wet. He doesn't have a long list of winning major cases under his belt, and quite frankly, would rather be doing something else than be an attorney. But as most of us have done in our lives, we follow the dreams our parents set before us and  look longingly at the job or dream that would make us happy. For Tom, it's getting back to nature and doing the one thing he did as a college student in the summer: be a white water rafting guide at his best friend, Chad's business, or better yet, hike the Appalachian Trail. Anything to get away from the memory that haunts him.Who knew the opportunity to escape his life and find love with come with representing a beautiful woman who's charged with attempted murder?Weird, huh?Once again, Carmen has written a story filled with colorful characters mixed with a beautiful back drop marred only by murder, mystery, longing, desperate decisions, and family secrets. If you love suspense, romance, and happy endings a character has to work for, pick up a copy today. You'll be glad you did!
