Always Time to Die

In this work of romantic suspense by bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell, the ugly buried truths about a powerful political family endanger a young woman intent on digging them up. Elderly Winifred Simmons y Castillo hires genealogist Carolina "Carly" May to research the history of the Castillo family. It's a tale inextricably intertwined with that of the closely related Quintrell clan whose ruthless, randy patriarch, A. J. Quintrell III--Winifred's brother-in-law and a former Senator--has just died (been murdered, actually, but no one but the killer knows that). Unfortunately, Carly's work threatens to uncover any number of nasty secrets, secrets for which someone is clearly prepared to kill to keep quiet. Thankfully, Carly soon finds a protector: Dan Duran, a sullen but devastatingly handsome man who has his own mysterious connection to the Quintrells.
