Southern Suspense Series, 5 sensual and gripping novels, no cliffhangers! Book one is FREE!


Five sensual and gripping suspense novels set in the South filled with love, betrayal, and obsession that will have you falling in love and wondering if you can trust anyone right up to the last page.

The Southern Suspense Series starts with my first romantic-suspense bestseller, She Belongs to Me, absolutely FREE! From there, all the stories have a slight connection to each other, so you can continue the journey and meet different protagonists with different issues and tragedies to overcome. Every story has a mystery, there’s always a gentle message, and above all, there’s always romance and suspense.

For best enjoyment, read in this order:
Book Six ~ Spring 2014
Book Seven ~ Summer 2014

When two strangers have nothing left but their dreams, they must forge a relationship in Nantahala, North Carolina, a small town known as Land of the Noonday Sun.

Just a few of the reviews:

"Wow! Carmen DeSousa has written another emotional and suspenseful story about family, friendship, love and betrayal that captured my attention from the very beginning."

"What I really have to say about this book is WOW! It has it all! Romance, suspense, mystery, tragedy, faith."

"I loved this one. I think it has a lot to do with the characters. Carmen DeSousa may be incapable of writing a hero that doesn't make me melt."

"Passionate characters, beautiful North Carolina setting, true love, and a bang-up mystery to tie it all together. Need I say more? "Land of the Noonday Sun" is a must-read!"

Entangled Dreams



Just a few of the reviews:


"The romance is plenty steamy without being graphic. There is suspense to keep you turning pages. This is probably my favorite so far. For anyone who likes sweet romance and suspense." – WiLoveBooks

"Carmen's stories always have deeply flawed and human characters, but Entangled Dreams seems to do it even better. I'm giving Entangled Dreams 5 out of 5 stars."

"This is the third book by Carmen DeSousa I've read and by far is my favorite."

"Carmen writes such heartfelt stories with many twists and turns along the way." -- Magical Musings

When a new attorney accepts a case of a woman accused of attempted homicide, he finds himself entwined in age-old secrets and a family who will stop at nothing to conceal them—even murder.

Just a few of the reviews:

I love that Carmen DeSousa continued her Noonday story. Love the characters. Twists and turns keep you wanting more. Can't wait for the next book!!

Once again, Carmen has written a story filled with colorful characters mixed with a beautiful backdrop marred only by murder, mystery, longing, desperate decisions, and family secrets. If you love suspense, romance, and happy endings a character has to work for, pick up a copy today. You'll be glad you did!

Carmen does a fantastic job of balancing the romance and mystery of the story. You will find yourself reading as quickly as you can to get to the end of the story and figure out who committed the murder…

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I...

The rule of thirds: No matter what you do, someone will hate you. Get over it and Write On!

No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts.  Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review...
