Debut romantic suspense author

Novels with heartwarming characters, a few

twists and turns, and a happily ever after

Liz Colbert’s debut romantic suspense novel Letting Go will be released on April 21, 2025. The book will be available in paperback, e-book, and available on Kindle Unlimited.

Becoming a single mother was never the plan—but neither was falling for the FBI Agent investigating her husband’s murder.

Vivian Stone never imagined standing over her husband’s dead body—let alone expect a single text to flip her crumbling world upside down. After their tragic loss, Vivian and her young daughter return to her small hometown in hopes of healing…but her chance at true love isn’t the only unexpected development waiting for Vivian in Forrest Falls, Tennessee. While she discovers you can always run home, you can't always outrun the dangers lurking just around the corner.

FBI Agent Walker Bennett has never deviated from duty. Despite being dedicated to his job, Walker finds himself conflicted for the first time in his career while navigating between his obligation of solving multiple connected murders and his magnetic connection with single mother Vivian Stone. Walker will do whatever is necessary to solve these cases…even if his heart demands that his only job should be keeping Vivian and her daughter safe.

As threats escalate putting the entire town on edge, it’s no longer just Vivian’s chance at true love that’s at risk—it may also be her life.

Letting Go is a slow burn romantic suspense novel featuring a single mother sweetheart heroine, an alpha hero FBI Agent that falls first, unexpected twists and turns, and a guaranteed happily ever after. This dual POV book includes adult themes and language. Think of it as a movie that’s rated R, so if you’re under 18, please go tell your mom about it, and she can give you a copy when you’re old enough (but know that she might read it first)!

“This romantic suspense novel was like watching an episode of Criminal Minds smashed with side helping of love. The longing and tension between Vivian and Walker is too sweet for this world. You can’t help but root for both of them and desperately want them to be together.”

— Becky, Goodreads Review

“Letting Go has all the elements one would want in a romantic suspense. Liz's writing flows so well, and with each turn of the page I found myself second guessing what I thought I knew. ”
