Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson

                 It appears you can go home again, but sometimes, you shouldn’t.

 With tropes of coming home, lies, woman on the run, and a secret heir, Wild Women Authors focus today is on Come Home to Death, a novel of romantic suspense, written by Marilyn Levinson and published by Rowan Prose Publishing.

About the Book: Erica Parker has barely been a bride nine months when two thugs show up at her apartment—while her husband is away on one of his infamous business trips—claiming he owes their boss a large gambling debt. Frightened for her life, and without other options, she heads to the childhood Long Island home she escaped three years ago. And swore never to return.

The aunts who raised her are as interfering and controlling as ever, but as soon as the family attorney advances the rest of her trust from Erica’s parents’ life insurance, she feels she will be able to return to normalcy. Except he refuses, and spouts nonsense about if she waits until her twenty-fifth birthday, she will inherit millions.

Problem is, someone doesn’t want her to live that long.

While her aunts harbor continue to harbor secrets, people start turning up dead, her husband is nowhere to be found, and someone’s trying to kill her.
