âWhatâs Happening in Royal?â
NEWS FLASH, MarchâThereâs a murderer loose in Royal, Texas! Sources report that the death of Eric Chambers was no accidentâsomeone wanted Wescott Oilâs vice president of accounting out of the way for good. But who? The police donât have any leads at the moment. Luckily, Royalâs own sexy sleuth, Robert Cole, is on the case!
Our sources have been trying to talk to Rebecca Todman, the attractive florist who discovered the murderâbut it seems Rob has beaten us to the punch! Heâs been spending an awful lot of time with Rebeccaâ¦and are smoldering glances and searing kisses part of his new interrogation procedures? If so, we predict Robert will have suspects lining up at his door for questioningâ¦.

Could Sebastian be hiding something? While nobody seems to know for certain, rumors are flying, and his friends at the Texas Cattlemanâs Club seem worriedâ¦.

Epilogue
Rebecca glanced down at the clipboard sheâd propped on the console of her minivan and worried her lip as she did some quick math. Ten, fifteen minutes tops at Eric Chambersâs house to water and tend his plants, another fifteen at the Olsensâ to do the same. Ten or less at the Mortonsâ to deliver the new potted palm Mrs. Morton had purchased for her sunroom. Factor in driving time of about twenty minutes and she should make it to her shop, In Bloom, in time to open for business by 9:00 a.m.
But barely, she reflected with a frown as she pulled to a stop in front of Ericâs house. Her frown deepened to one of puzzlement when she noticed Ericâs car parked on the drive. Strictly regimented about every aspect of his life, Eric always left for work precisely at 7:30, which allowed her to tend his plants undisturbed, an arrangement theyâd made from the get-go that had suited them both.
