Courting Trouble
Three Invitations to Death
. . . .
Spanish Moss A Death, a Will, and a Way
"Poison" is one of the last words Nedda Courtland's wealthy employer speaks in the hours before his death.
With no evidence of murder, she can only fulfill Mr. Ingram's last wishes as the executrix of his will and wield her proxy to disrupt the negotiations with an oil company.
She never expects another murder.
. . . .
Texas Sun Method, Means, and Opportunity
The grime of a working oil field draws together people at odds with the summer heat and with each other.
In the heady flush of a new romance, Nedda tries to ignore the blazing tensions, yet troubling shadows have gathered.
Then Death makes his entrance, and the grim pressures erupt.
. . . .
Gulf Storm Bribe. Conspire. Death.
A hurricane threatens to disrupt the wedding festivities of Nedda and Hank.
With the approaching storm are a whirl of human crimes, and an accusation of a past misdeed rages from the shadows.
Will the hurricane's landfall shred Nedda's dreams, or will Death wreak its lethal destruction?
. . . .
Courting Trouble offers three novelettes that create a side series to the Into Death series. These stories, set in 1925, feature an Englishwoman who arrives in the southern United States and finds mystery, murder, and romance. The character Nedda Courtland was born in the Sailing with Mystery short story collection.
Multi-published writer M.A. Lee's love of historical mysteries began before her teen-aged years. Regency novels motivated her own twelve-book mystery series Hearts in Hazard. Authors like Mary Stewart inspired her Into Death series.
