🎬 Deadly Deception Cover Reveal

January 2, 2019 By JPMcLean 8 Comments

Party emojiHappy New Year and a Cover Reveal. 2018 has whizzed past and is now in the vault. Is it just me, or are the years speeding up? Before this one gets away on me, let me start it by wishing you a healthy 2019 filled with serenity, laughter and good friends.

The first new book in The Gift Legacy has been a long time coming. Today I’m pleased to reveal the cover for Deadly Deception, which is dropping on January 8th. The cover is designed by JD&J Book Cover Design. Deadly Deception is book 5 in the series. It’s brand new and continues on from book 4, Lethal Waters (formerly titled Penance).

A daring abduction. A sinister plot. A family on the edge of ruin.

Emelynn Taylor races against the clock to rescue a kidnapped newborn, but deception blocks her at every turn. When Emelynn’s lover is the next to disappear, her desperate search uncovers a conspiracy that jeopardizes the freedom of every Flier.

And closer to home, a deeper deception threatens—one that Emelynn has spent her whole life perfecting.

Cover for Deadly DeceptionEarly reviews are in:

Debra Purdy Kong, award-winning author of The Casey Holland Mystery series says, Exposed secrets, hidden enemies, and a new, gut-wrenching reality for Emelynn create a gripping read you won’t want to put down.

Roxy Boroughs, award-winning author of The Psychic Heat series calls it A stellar paranormal—with the heart of a romance and the suspense of a spy novel. J.P. McLean’s series soars.

Ev Bishop, Award-winning author of the River’s Sigh B & B series says it’s A fast-paced, compelling read. Emelynn Taylor is a wonderful heroine—complex, yet easily relatable to, as she continues to come to terms with (and survive!) the mixed blessing of her amazing gift.
