The Fateful Summer

SUMMER OF DANGEROUS SECRETS

The door to the study stood open. No one looking at the lovely seaside Dorrance Cottage—if a twenty room mansion could truly be called a beach cottage—would ever guess what happened inside. For a pool of blood before an open safe lay the body of John Dorrance…

Emma had watched her best friend Amanda Dorrance fall terribly, completely in love that summer with a man her father would never accept. She knew her friend's reckless meetings would lead to trouble. But Emma never suspected that other dark passions hidden in the shadows of the fabulous cottage. And now Amanda's lover had disappeared the night of this tragic killing, and Emma would go back to the mansion…looking for a truth that could jeopardize her life.
