Bringing you all the action of book 1 in the ‘Deadly Reunions’ series, but with more chilling suspense and a complex romantic plot, ‘When A Heart Stops’ is the story of Serena Hopkins, Medical Examiner and former high school sweetheart, FBI agent Dominic Allen. The uneasy pairing is thrown together to investigate the serial murders that include one of Serena’s former classmates. Could this be a vendetta that includes Serena herself, and is the rekindling romance putting Dominic directly in the killer’s firing line?

In a tale that reveals much of what’s behind the characters of the book’s stars, Serena Hopkins and Dominic Allen, Lynette Eason also gets inside the killer's mind. This second book shows how Lynette’s writing has developed from the non-stop action of the first in the series to a level of suspense that’s more chilling, creepy and intricately plotted.

Without delivering an overbearing message, the author weaves in a deeper meaning throughout, that blends in and adds to the story, making it a book for anyone who loves romantic suspense, and might appreciate an easy introduction to Christian, faith-underneath, crime fiction. ‘When A Heart Stops’ is your invitation into a new Lynette Eason suspenseful romance and the perfect excuse to sit back and reread the series opener.

Lynette Eason is an esteemed, veteran author within the suspense fiction market. Her books don’t just sell well, they sell big. So what’s her secret? How does she manage to write so many books with so much rich, spiritual, engaging content?

The answer is easy – she has good friends.

THE EDITOR:

Firstly, every author on the planet has an editor. Their crucial job is to be a second pair of eyes. The author’s eyes are creative, wild and imaginative, wondering all over the place and pushing the bounders. While the editor’s eyes are focused on the audience, the book’s intended marketplace, the competition and the bank balance.

Together they and chop, change and perfect every chapter so the book is well balanced. Both imaginative and grounded.

THE EXPERTS:

Secondly, a crime fiction author writes in the world of law enforcement, medicine and organizations like the CIA. So unless you started your career as a junior doctor specialising in forensics, then became the secretary to the head of the FBI whilst training as a Navy Seal in your spare time, your books going to lack accuracy.

But Lynette asked some friends in those respective fields to check over her book, allowing them to input any additional information to add realism and grit to the plot. Officer James Hall and Retired FBI Agent Wayne Smith proof read the law enforcement details. While Ruthie Owens who works at Spartanburg Regional Hospital answered any medical questions Lynette had. So everything you’ll read in ‘When A Heart Stops’ has the voice of an expert behind it.

HER INSPIRATION:

Every author has intentions when writing their novels. Some dream of best sellers (and a big pay check). Other dream of fame and the red carpet towards the massive award ceremonies. But others simply want to bless their readers, opening their eyes and hearts to their convictions and beliefs.

For Lynette Eason, her intentions shine through from the first page:

“To my wonderful family and friends
I couldn’t do this without you.
And to Jesus Christ,
My Lord and Saviour -
And my reason for writing.
I pray people see you on every page!” – At the front of ‘When A Heart Stops’.

As a strong believer and a talented author, she uses her God-given gift to serve, minister and inspire faith. Enjoy Lynette’s books, because they are for you.

‘When A Heart Stops’ is the second in Lynette Eason's ‘Deadly Reunions’ series. Picking up two of the characters from the first in the series, ‘When The Smoke Clears’, Lynette takes you into the mind of a serial killer, who might be aiming - literally - to end the re-emerging romance between medical examiner, Serena Hopkins, and former teenage sweetheart, FBI agent Dominic Allen. The twists and turns of this suspenseful thriller reveal the true feelings and true faith of all involved.

Spunky and outgoing, nothing much bothers medical examiner Serena Hopkins - except for the thought of falling in love again. But when a serial killer is picking off her former classmates, Serena's life becomes intertwined with her old high school crush, FBI agent Dominic Allen. Is the secret she's keeping putting her next romance on the killer's hit list? Can she trust Dominic with the truth before it's too late? Intense, emotional, and fast-paced, "When a Heart Stops" will have you up late as you race to the finish to find out what happens.

Lynette Eason grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. She graduated from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, and then obtained her masters in education from Converse College. Author of twenty inspirational romantic suspense books, she is also a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) and Romance Writers of America (RWA). In 1996, Lynette married "the boy next door" and now she and her husband and their two children make their home in Spartanburg, South Carolina." Her series of novels include: Amazon Adventure, High Stakes, Women of Justice and Deadly Reunions.
