Tessa Carr has been writing since she was a child, and entertaining her friends with stories about them. In the back of her mind, however, always lurked stories about romance filled with mystery, and adventure. Being a Navy brat and moving frequently to new places and meeting new people brought on new stories that hovered in her mind. You may notice some of her books seem to be missing from the page. That's because many of them are being re-written. Don't worry! A new version will be coming soon! And don't forget to visit her website at tessacarrromance.com The excitement of writing never went away. Even today, those stories still hover. She loves writing historical, and for many years has written romantic historicals as Pippa Greathouse, but recently has begun the new genre of sexy, sizzling contemporary mystery, suspense-thrillers that often involve the Highway Patrol, FBI and police and Sheriff’s Departments. A note from Tessa... Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know "Blood Spatters Don't Lie" (Book Four of the Council Creek series) is now released. And to celebrate, book two of the series,"Danger in Shadow" is free! I hope you'll check it out! Book 4 contains the story of Captain Jake Carter, and Janie, his sweetheart from college days who is now on the Highway Patrol and transferred under his command. But someone is after Janie and others in the Division of Drug and Crime Control, and as a Forensic Pathologist, she's trying desperately to find out who's behind the murders before even more lives are lost. Can she and Jake keep old feelings of hurt and betrayal from getting in the way of working together, or will it permanently destroy the relationship between them? I do hope you/ll enjoy it! ~Tessa
