With several million books in print and New York Times and USA Today’s bestseller lists under her belt, former CPA Patricia Rice is one of romance’s hottest authors.

With forty-seven published books, she’s now branching into mystery with Evil Genius, a contemporary family mystery — or mystery family — set in Washingon D.C., where spies really do lurk around every corner.

RT Book Reviews calls Evil Genius a “thought-provoking story” with a “convoluted mystery” and “fascinating characters… The ending will leave readers longing for more…”

Patricia Rice’s emotionally-charged contemporary and historical romances have won numerous awards, including the RT Book Reviews Reviewers Choice and Career Achievement Awards. Her books have also been honored as Romance Writers of America RITA® finalists in the historical, regency and contemporary categories.

A firm believer in happily-ever-after, Patricia Rice is married to her high school sweetheart and has two children. A native of Kentucky and New York, a past resident of North Carolina, she currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri, and now does accounting only for herself. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, the Authors Guild, and Novelists, Inc.
