Darkwater Cove is the first book in a series of the same name. The story begins as Darcy decides to move her family to Genoa Cove to escape her demons. She had recently captured a sadistic killer and put him behind bars, and now is looking for some peace in her life. However, the peace isn’t coming when a body is found on the coast. The evidence points to the same man that she put behind bars, but that’s impossible. Did she get the wrong man? Or did he have an apprentice? When the killer takes another life, she’ll need to figure it out fast as the killer is out to destroy her and all that she holds dear.
The Wolf Lake series begins with Her Last Breath. Detective Thomas Shepherd was shot in the line of duty and heads back to Wolf Lake in order to put his life back together. The water brings him peace until the day a woman’s body washes up on shore. The town is blaming a teenage boy with a history, but Thomas isn’t convinced. The village wants justice and evidence is mounting against the boy. Thomas will need to work fast to clear the boy’s name before he’s put away with a killer still on the loose.
