"Justice Delayed" by Sarah Hamaker -- Epic Book Launch


About the Book


Book: Justice Delayed

Author: Sarah Hamaker

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: May 15, 2024

Journalist Brogan Gilmore had been a rising star when an unethical shortcut on a story

leads to his fall from grace. A chance encounter with convicted murderer Melender Harman a

few months after her release from prison provides Brogan with a chance for career

redemption—if he can land an interview with her.

After serving her 17-year sentence, Melender has one objective: To uncover the truth

about what happened to her cousin the night the toddler disappeared. When Brogan pursues her

for an exclusive story, she reluctantly agrees if he’ll help her reexamine the original investigation

into Jesse’s presumed kidnapping and murder.

While re-investigating the case, Brogan struggles to keep his objectivity as he begins to

believe Melender is innocent of the crime—and starts to envision a possible future together.

Then a hocking discovery throws their relationship—and investigation—into turmoil.

As Brogan and Melender come closer to solving what happened to Jesse, will their

budding relationship survive the truth? 


Book Excerpt

“Just one.” Brogan poised his pen over the notebook. “What’s her name?”

“Mel Harman.” Mr. Patel gestured toward the door. “You can meet her. She just pulled

into parking lot.”

Melender Harman put her Honda Accord into park outside the Kwikie Mart and checked

the dashboard clock. Four-thirty. Good, she’d have enough time after her visit with Mr. Patel to

stop by the grocery store down the street before starting her overnight shift. She enjoyed the

solitary nature of her job, cleaning stores and offices while most of the world slept. Tonight, she

had a new client on her list, which meant Squeaky Clean’s owner, Janice Butram, would be

sending along another cleaner to keep them on schedule.

Melender, who had shortened her unusual first name to “Mel” to avoid questions about its

origin and to camouflage her background, stepped into the convenience store, the overhead bell

announcing her entrance. Behind the counter, Mr. Patel chatted with a tall, handsome blond man

wearing jeans and an old leather bomber jacket. The man held a small notebook and looked in

her direction when she entered.
