Hi! I’m Susan Sleeman, and I write romantic suspense books with lots of police procedures and investigations. I’ve sold over two million books and have over sixty books published, and somehow, I still have tons of ideas for more. I’m active on social media, and you can learn more about me and my books here on my website and Facebook, Bookbub, X – Twitter, and Instagram. You’ll learn that I love, love, love romantic suspense like my latest release, LOST CAUSE.  Here are the details.

Working together is a challenge, but catching a killer is their priority.

Detective Burke Ulrich’s methodical pursuit of justice is tested when a stolen heirloom leads him to Ravenhook Island and its reclusive owner’s shadowy past. Former sheriff Abby Day, now a Lost Lake Locator, has also been hired to find the missing piece, instantly clashing with Burke’s no-nonsense approach. But as they dig deeper, the simple theft unravels into a web of buried family secrets, deception, and murder. With danger closing in, Burke tries to push Abby out of harm’s way—but she’s not backing down, even if it means risking her life… and her heart.

COULD YOU SURVIVE A ROMANTIC SUSPENSE NOVEL?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live inside the pages of a romantic suspense story? You know—the kind where danger lurks around every corner, but there’s also that handsome, heroic man who shows up at just the right time. Sounds thrilling, right? But let’s be real. Not everyone would make it past chapter two.

So, let’s test your survival skills. Imagine yourself as the heroine in a suspense novel. Could you handle it?

Scenario 1: The Late-Night Shadow

You’re walking to your car, and footsteps echo behind you. Do you:
A) Whip out your phone and call your best friend.
B) Hold your keys like a weapon, scanning for escape routes.
C) Confront the shadowy figure with your fiercest glare.
D) Pray it’s the hero arriving to save you.

A man with glowing eyes standing next to a car, with door open, parked on the side of the road. On a foggy winters night. With a grainy, vintage edit

Scenario 2: The Mysterious Stranger
Your car breaks down on a deserted road. A stranger pulls up, offering help. Do you:
A) Politely decline and lock your doors.
B) Accept the help—but keep one hand on your pepper spray.
C) Ask twenty rapid-fire questions before even rolling down the window.
D) Hope he looks suspiciously like your favorite book hero.

Scenario 3: The Secret That Could Kill
You discover information that puts you in grave danger. Who do you tell first?
A) The brooding detective who just moved to town.
B) Your loyal best friend.
C) No one—you’ve watched enough true crime to know better.
D) God, because let’s face it, you’ll need divine backup.

What it all means!
If you mostly answered A, you’re cautious and clever—you’d probably survive, but maybe without all the swoony moments.
If you chose mostly B, you’re resourceful and brave—classic heroine material.
Mostly C? You’re independent to the core, but watch out, because in suspense novels, loners usually end up as targets.
And if you went with D—congratulations! You’re both hopeful and romantic, which makes you the perfect leading lady for a page-turning story.

Romantic suspense isn’t just about danger and crime scenes. It’s about finding courage when life spins out of control and realizing love often shows up when you least expect it—even in the middle of danger.

So, could you survive a romantic suspense novel? More importantly…would you fall in love along the way?
