Blinded – Retrieval, Inc. Series – Book 3

The most dangerous threats of all are those you’re blind to…

Charlie Hart and Mitch Saunders’ new case couldn’t come at a worse time. Thomas Weihle continues to torment them both from behind bars and the stress of testifying against him is taking its toll. Things go from bad to worse when District Attorney Gerty Kolacsko’s sister disappears without a trace. With Gerty’s focus divided, they risk the unthinkable—letting that monster go free.

Mitch and Charlie have no choice but to take the case before Retrieval, Inc. is even up and running, and Leah’s perilous situation triggers their worst fears. Someone close to her is trying to kill her. In poor health and completely blindsided, she doesn’t know who to trust or where to hide. Can she get to safety before her body gives out?

Meanwhile, Charlie is hiding a secret that will change everything. This time she can’t run, but she’ll be damned if she’s trapped again—even if Mitch refuses to let her go.

“Blinded is a beautifully written tale wrought with suspense, intrigue, and danger. JB Schroeder adopts a wonderfully descriptive tone leaving lasting impressions of all she describes. This book is full of twist and turns and interesting characters all enhanced by a well-developed plot.” —Bookbub Reviewer, 5 Stars

A new look for the Love That Lasts series!

I know I'm not the only one who just HAS to pick up a book with an illustrated, cartoon-style cover when I see one. And the trend seems to be holding, so, I finally let loose my inner designer. Ta da! The Love That Lasts series has a new look! I can't decide which one is my favorite. See them all at your retailer, or visit the series page here on my site. Then let me know, which one is YOUR favorite?
(Please note these new covers are available everywhere in eBook, but in paperback, the "illustrated" covers are only available at Amazon, while the vintage "couples" covers will remain available at Barnes and Noble.)

What a sweet story! She has dreams of traveling. He has a farm to run to support his family. Their story, set during World War II, tests their love through separation, though not in a way that most readers, including me, would have thought. I loved these two! And with all Ticket to Love books, you can count on an HEA - and a very satisfying one at that!

My romantic suspense stories have been called gritty, although I'm still not sure that's exactly the right adjective. I tend to blend suspense and romance, yet there's an element of women's fiction, a certain something that is hard to pin down. Whether there's a name for it, or not, I hope you enjoy. I hope my books touch you and leave something memorable behind...
