See what's keeping readers turning pages long after bedtime: enter the enchanting world of the Rosemont series. Barbara Hinske has been heralded as one of the new masters of the contemporary romance. Part romance, part mystery/thriller/suspense, follow Maggie Martin as she rebuilds her life in an inherited mansion full of secrets.Coming to Rosemont (A BookBub Bestseller): Forensic accountant Maggie Martin’s well-ordered life is shattered by her husband’s untimely death and the double life he concealed. Dealing with the financial and emotional wreckage left in Paul’s wake, she is stunned to learn he inherited an estate known as Rosemont in the seemingly-serene Midwestern town of Westbury. Seeking a fresh start and a quiet, solitary life, she moves halfway across the country to make Rosemont her home. Before she can unpack her first box, she’s knee-deep in a battle against political corruption, where defeat and retreat are not an option. Still bearing the scars of betrayal, will she find joy, romance and possibility in Westbury?Weaving the Strands (the Second Novel in the Rosemont series): In this second book in the beloved Rosemont series, newly-elected Mayor Maggie Martin’s plans to start a serene new life have been derailed. At the epicenter of Westbury’s worsening financial crisis, she’s dealing with the looming foreclosure of a retirement community as well as a suspicious death. As public criticism abounds, she may be trusting people she shouldn’t. An uncertain relationship with her favorite veterinarian just adds to the pressure. Meanwhile, her nemesis, Frank Haynes, is stirring the pot and sowing the seeds of her destruction. But will his new assistant from Scottsdale turn the tables on him?

But will he slip through the net once again? Meanwhile, Rosemont’s attic gives up its secrets; some welcome, some not. Will Frank Haynes establish his claim to Rosemont?Interview with the AuthorQ: Why did you decide to write a series?A: I prefer television series to movies. The longer format of television allows for deeper character development. The same holds true for series fiction. I like to fall in love with a character or hate a character (but root for them to change their ways). I feel like Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi from Alexander McCall Smith's Ladies' Detective Agency series are old friends. I wanted to recreate that sort of connection in the Rosemont series.Q: What types of books do you read?A: I'm a fan of women's fiction, women's sagas, romantic suspense, domestic suspense, crime fiction, and romance. My Rosemont series is set in the current day, but I've tried to capture a feeling of camaraderie and connection (among the good guys) that takes us back to a slightly simpler time and place.Q: What are the high points of your author journey?A: There are 3 things I hold very dear: 1) hearing from readers--especially newly blind adults--that my Guiding Emily series has given then hope and provided comfort, 2) having my novella The Christmas Club made into a Hallmark Channel movie of the same name (2019), and 3) seeing my name on the USA Today Bestseller List.
