An Angry Family

A Hacked Pacemaker

A Crooked Lawyer

Great Aunt Aphronia calls Rylly at three in the morning begging her to come to the old family mansion in Northumberland, England. She is a suspect in the murder of her solicitor (attorney) after a very public and nasty fight where she threw a heavy silver vase at him. He was later found at the foot of her drive with his head bashed in, the vase lying next to him.

When Rylly gets to Bemuir Manor two days later, she doesn’t find the tart-tongued, ornery octogenarian that left her island. Instead, Great Aunt Aphronia’s limp is so bad she can barely walk with a cane, her skin is green and her head is full of mush instead of brains.

Someone in the family wants Aphronia dead or so it seems. In what seems like a crazy game of Russian Roulette, family members are dropping like flies.

Can Rylly and Kohler keep themselves alive long enough to find the killer or will the wheel spin against them before Great Aunt Aphronia can reach her 90th birthday?

A Dirty Secret

A Hidden Cave

A Diabolical Plot

Rylly Barr is ready to leave the school year behind and spend the summer finishing her resort and building a future with Anthony, the handsome Coast Guard captain who has stolen her heart. But one urgent email shatters her plans: an invitation to a reunion she never wanted to see again. Years ago, during a geology internship at Monmouth Caves National Park, one of the girls disappeared in the middle of the night—and was never found. Illiana Petrova was more than a fellow intern. She was Rylly's friend, and her disappearance left wounds that never truly healed.

Rylly swore she would never go back. But when Bluebird, her resident psychic, warns that dark danger is closing in—and that refusing the invitation could bring tragedy to the people she loves—Rylly has no choice but to face the past.

The man standing on the dock didn't ping Rylly's radar

but the bodyguard standing behind him sure did.

Greg Giddens has always been a man who gets what he wants. Wealthy, powerful, and utterly ruthless, he is determined to hold his granddaughter's wedding on Rylly Barr's island—whether the resort is ready or not. At first, Rylly thinks he's joking. But with every refusal, Greg throws more money at her until she can no longer say no. What seems like a financial windfall soon becomes a nightmare. Greg isn't interested in just renting the island—he wants to control it. The bride and groom are each in love with someone else, tensions are spiraling toward disaster, and smuggler activity is spreading through the island swamp with chilling consequences.

Now Rylly finds herself trapped between a megalomaniac determined to crush her, a wedding on the brink of chaos, and a growing criminal threat that could destroy everything she's built. To save her island, her family, and her own life, Rylly will have to uncover the truth before Greg Giddens buries her—literally.
