Game Plan
Investigator Randy Bonner’s search for a missing husband uncovers a plot sothick even the cops can’t penetrate the secrets in this romantic thriller by bestselling author Sylvie Grayson.
Georgia knows she makes bad decisions. When she has a flat tire while riding her bike, Randy offers to help, but she doesn’t trust him. Then she seizes control of her future and hires him to follow her estranged husband, Howard. The facts he uncovers are devastating. Soon Howard’s greedy business partners are threatening action if she doesn’t stop the investigation, but as Randy digs deeper and uncovers more secrets, they lead in a direction she could never have imagined.
Randy understands his job—protect Georgia—even though it’s not clear who or what he’s protecting her from. Has the husband left a string of big gambling debts with a determined and violent collector on his trail, or are his nefarious business partners after his share of the investment profits?
When the truth is finally revealed, Randy and Georgia may not survive.
If you enjoy romantic suspense with mystery, you’ll love Game Plan, Book Four of Sylvie Grayson’s Lies He Told series.

Looking back on the year 2020 has been amazing.
We had snow at the beginning of the year, which is always difficult to deal with in this climate. It is wet and soon freezes to ice on the roads. I caused a rear-ender at a stop light, put on my brakes but the car just slid down the hill to hit the bumper of the truck in front of me. No damage to his truck, thank heaven.
We managed a getaway to Tofino and Long Beach for a few days. It is always lovely there, rewarding to walk the beach and listen to the waves. We came home refreshed.
Then spring arrived. The blossoms on my crabapple tree are so lovely, each year. Almost as rewarding as the crabapples themselves ?.
The azaleas outdid themselves. But the dahlias did nothing, some managed to bloom by October when I dug them up.
We couldn’t socialize, so did a lot of walking and bicycling. This is Rithet’s Bog where the ducks gather. (What we noticed was the people we passed—at the correct social distance—seemed afraid to make eye contact or greet others, as if you could catch Covid19 by glancing at someone.)
We took the boat out all of three times during the summer. The weather didn’t cooperate. During one trip, the forest fires on the mainland were so vicious, and the smoke in the air so thick, we used our radar to safely find our way back to the harbour without running into any other boats.
During the year, I released two books in The Lies He Told series, Rain Man, and Don’t Move. It was fantastic to finally get them out to the public and the response has been wonderful. Thank you, Dear Readers.
The harvest wasn’t as plentiful as in former years. The spring and summer weather had been cooler than usual so many of the plants were slow to grow. The tomatoes did fine. Cucumbers not so much. Squash not at all.
Blackberries were a bit sparse. I usually make blackberry cordial but the ripe berries were a bit harder to find. Did a few jars of jelly.
Fall arrived. Still out on walks and bike rides, careful of who we encountered and managing to keep our distance.
Guess what? Winter came and so did the snow. Our power lines were down along our long driveway, ripped off by two trees falling across them. We couldn’t leave the premises, either to walk out because of the lines on the drive, or drive out because of the trees. We were without power for four days, but luckily we have a generator. Not much gas though, just enough to run it for a few hours in the morning and evening to keep the fridge and freezers cold, and plug in our phones. Luckily we had a lot of candles, and still managed to get some reading done. ?
So the year ended the way it had begun, with snow.
But this New Year will be different, won’t it? Let's all play to be kind, to be safe, to be the best we can be, in 2021!
Wishing you the finest in all things, Sylvie
What happened in your 2020? Send me a note and let me know.
Went for a nice walk today. The weather had cleared, the sun was actually shining (is this really November?) and I needed some fresh air. This is a road near us, that is very steep. Once at the top, I took this photo, which shows the downward trajectory, and the curve at the bottom that takes you back to the main road. My phone indicated 4500 steps and climbing the equivalent of 19 stories.
Where do you walk?
Book One of The Lies He Told Me is now on sale. Get it now for a great read. What the readers say about it–
“Sylvie Grayson did an excellent job of creating a plausible storyline with believable characters and wrapping it around mystery and romance. An excellent book!”
“This is, without a doubt, one of the most twisted, convoluted, complicated books I’ve ever read. I wish I had as much strength as Chloe does. She successfully pulls her life together after her husband disappears. And, she handles even more when she discovers her husband may not have been the man she thought he was. A thought-provoking story with a tough heroine, a hard-as-nails detective, and an explosive HEA.”
