Book Description
In this classic murder mystery novella, Detective Maxxon Blackwood is thrust into the hills of Virginia wine country when trouble runs amiss at the famed Wentworth manor of Charlottesville. Maxxon, a middle-aged, grizzled, yet strikingly handsome detective is tasked with unraveling the Wentworth web of lies and deceit. Haunted by a troubled past of his own, Blackwood isn't just a detective, he's a man on a mission to redeem himself. As he delves deeper into the murder investigation, Wood finds himself swept up in a maleficent swirl of deceit, secrets, and danger. The Wentworth family, as it turns out, is not your typical wine royalty. Their riches, refined taste in arts, and extravagant luxuries date back to the post-World War II era. A time when the world was in chaos, and fortunes could be made by those willing to blur the line between right and wrong. As Maxxon peels back the layers of the Wentworth dynasty, he must also evade an elusive killer who remains always one step ahead. From the sun-drenched vineyards to the grandeur of the Wentworth estate, danger lurks in the shadows of prosperity. In this gripping mystery, every revelation brings Maxxon closer to the truth and to peril. Can he solve the murder before he becomes the next target? This tantalizing tale of murder, mystery, and vintage wines, set against the backdrop of the picturesque wine country, will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

Book Description
Daisy Bacon, the opinionated, autocratic and complex editor of Love Story Magazine from 1928 to 1947, chose the stories that would be read by hundreds of thousands of readers each week. The first weekly periodical devoted to romance fiction and the biggest-selling pulp fiction magazine in the early days of the Great Depression, Love Story sparked a wave of imitators that dominated newsstands for more than twenty years. Disparaged as a "love pulp," the magazine actually championed the "modern girl," bringing its heroines out of the shadows of Victorian poverty and into the 20th century. With Love Story's success, Bacon became a national spokesperson, declaring that the modern woman could have it all--in love, in marriage and in the business world. Yet Bacon herself struggled to achieve that ideal, especially in her own romantic life, built around a long-term affair with a married man. Drawing on exclusive access to her personal papers, this first-ever biography tells the story behind the woman who influenced millions of others to pursue independence in their careers and in their relationships.
