When the laws of men fail, the rules of Alace prevail.

Hard Focus, a criminal thriller standalone
This is an intense page-turner, a gut-punch twist-filled story about a woman who has confidence in herself, believes she's a good judge of character, and has filled her life with people she can trust. She's right, but she's also very, very wrong. Readers will have a time of it trying to decide who to watch closest.
Where do you place your trust when your own instincts betray you?
Connie Rowe is a receptionist at a respected legal firm. She’s a little bit sassy, a lotta bit happy, has good friends, and is adored by her neighbors.
Life is good.
She’s got a boyfriend she enjoys spending time with. He can be a little intense, but he’s got a lot going on in his own life, sorting out his young daughter and nightmare of an ex.
Life is grand.
“Trust your gut.” That’s what Connie’s police officer father told her often, training his daughter to believe in herself through the years.
But … what happens when you can’t? When your intuition lies?
What happens when things come into Hard Focus?
5-Star Reviews for Hard Focus
“Hard Focus is one very well-written tale. 5 stars is not enough for me.”
~Tabitha
“What a powerful story. [deMora] kept me invested from the first word to the last.”
~Jesse R
“[deMora] has a certain magical touch to writing her characters, that they become either your nemesis, your best friend, or your love interest. That is certainly portrayed in this spin around. Loved it, loved it, loved it.”
~Sandy K
“I strongly recommend this book for both entertainment and to broaden your knowledge of certain laws that must be revisited.”
~Words Turn Me On
“A intense page turner. Once you start, you can't put the book down.”

~Kat W
“I keep sayin that there just aren't enough stars to give to some of Marialisa deMora's books...this one is no different!”
~deLane
“Where do I start with this one...I read this in 3 1/2 hours uninterrupted, I absolutely could NOT put it down. Very deep, keeps you guessing, what's gonna happen next, kind of book. I love how strong her characters are, especially the females!”
~Wendy I
“Sometimes I feel like MariaLisa deMora is the one I should be watching out for. I started reading her books because I'm addicted to MC Romance, but then she decides to change things up and I just follow her wherever she leads me like a Pied Piper. I never know what to expect, and sometimes I'm afraid to find out, but it's always an adventure.”
~Rosa for iScream Books Blog
“A plot full of twists and turns, a story that’s not quite what it seems, strong characterization, jaw dropping revelations… what more do you need from a book?”
~Manda M
“This book kept me turning the pages wondering what was going to happen. I am usually pretty good at guessing twists but not with this book. She totally surprised me and brought me out of my funk. 5 stars.”
~Glenna M
“What an amazing story! Filled with a smidge of suspense, a dash of action and a heap of realism of our country’s laws and how their vague application to victims can adversely affect its citizens and the people in their lives.”
