The Scent of Roses
Sensuous Western Historical Romance
A woman’s smile . . .
Rosalyn Delaney’s husband, Josiah, vanished six years ago. Following a private detective’s lead, Rosalyn leaves Salt Lake City and boards a train heading to the mining town of Whiskey Ridge, Arizona. She arrives at Rose House, an old mansion reputed to be haunted, only to discover that her missing husband has been killed, and his business partner, Whip Kincaid, is wanted for his murder. Determined to uncover the secrets surrounding Josiah and his death, Rosalyn decides to stay–even though she begins to receive nightly visits from a charming “ghost” . . .
A Ghost’s Kiss . . .
Escaping a troubled past, Whip Kincaid had hoped he could make a fresh start in Whiskey Ridge and open a saloon with his friend Josiah. Now, as a murder suspect hiding in his own house, Whip’s future looks bleak indeed . . . unless he can find the real culprit. But the unexpected intrusion of Rosalyn ruins his plan to sneak out at night to investigate. Scaring her away is his first step in clearing his name, but Rosalyn doesn’t rattle easily. And Whip isn’t sure he wants the lovely widow to walk out of his life — especially when she’ll take his heart with her.

* * * * * Wonderful Story! “CAUTION! This book will draw you in, make you fall in love with the characters and you will not be able to put it down until you turn that last page!
The characters in this book are well developed, you will feel yourself being drawn to them from the very beginning and by the end, you will hate to turn that last page and have to say good bye. I highly recommend reading this book!” ~ Dixieland Mom
* * * * * Could not put this one down “This is one of those books that falls into the category that I love. It has mystery, romance and wild west all rolled into one book. I could not put it down as I had to find out if Whip got cleared of supposedly killing his friend and I had to know if he got together with Rosalyn. I will definitely be looking for more books from this author.!” ~ Jennifer W
* * * * * The Scent of Roses “I found The Scent of Roses to be a delightful read. I ‘m one who love a bit of humor mixed throughout the story line, and I found myself chuckling out loud through out this read. The earlier book To Have and To Hold in this series made for a complete unit. I prefer to read books in the order they’re written as a series or follow-up in a story line. However each book can stand on its own quite well.” ~ Shirl
* * * * * Must Read “Charlene Raddon pens “The Scent of Roses” in a plot filled with romance, mystery, suspense, murder and a touch of the paranormal. The author’s characters were believable with great chemistry between them, not to mention how sexy the hero is. I read this book in one sitting and just couldn’t put it down…I haven’t read a good romance story in a while and this book has it all. Highly recommended to all romance and mystery fans.” ~ SusanP
