Librarian
Alicia McKinney has put the past behind her…
Two years ago, Alicia discovered both a
terrible truth and lasting love with John McKinney in the small town of Cobble
Cove, New York. Now a busy mother of twin babies and co-author of a mystery
series, Alicia couldn’t be happier.
Alicia’s
contentment and safety are challenged…
Walking home alone from the library,
Alicia senses someone following her, and on more than one occasion, she
believes she is being watched. Does she have a stalker? When the local gift
shop is burglarized, the troubling event causes unrest among Alicia and the
residents of the quiet town.
John
and Alicia receive an offer they can’t refuse…
When John’s sister offers to babysit
while she and John take a much-needed vacation in New York City, Alicia is
reluctant to leave her children because of the disturbances in Cobble Cove.
John assures her the town is safe in the hands of Sheriff-elect Ramsay.
Although Alicia’s experience with and dislike of the former Long Island
detective don’t alleviate her concern, she and John take their trip.
Alicia
faces her worst nightmare…
The McKinneys’ vacation is cut
short when they learn their babies have been kidnapped and John’s sister shot.
Alicia and John’s situation puts them between a rock and a hard place when the
main suspect is found dead before the ransom is paid. In order to save their
children, the McKinneys race against the clock to solve a mystery more puzzling
than those found in their own books. Can they do it before time runs out?
