Aspiring artist Delaney Harper sails
to New Orleans after her mother’s death. On the night of her arrival,
she’s welcomed by a masked stranger who steals one breathless kiss.
Alderic Beaumont is a fallen aristocrat. Once a corsair and now a
smuggler, he’s a force to be reckoned with. On the night of his friend’s
celebration, he’s captured by an irresistible beauty. He kisses her,
promising to find her come morning. By then, Delaney’s world has
crumbled—the truth about her mother reveals Delaney now owns a brothel.
With Alderic, Delaney embarks on a path of intrigue and passion. Her wit
and artistic skills help conceal her identity and restore the
once-prestigious bordello…but her deceptions could cost her Alderic’s
heart.
The cold night breeze slams the barn
door shut with a sickening crash. The girl curled in the corner wakes
with a start. Her gold butterfly necklace catches the pale moonlight as
she clutches it tight, thinking of her family. Will she ever escape? Or
is this the last face she’ll ever see?
Detective Katie Scott stares in horror
at what she and her service dog Cisco have discovered: seven shallow
graves, the bodies of young women each wrapped carefully in a blanket
and buried in makeshift coffins. Miles of abandoned farmland stretch out
from the treeline behind her. Has Katie uncovered the horrifying
graveyard of a monster who has been stealing Pine Valley’s daughters for
years?
Katie quickly identifies one of the
victims as Abigail Andrews, a beautiful young woman who disappeared
fifteen years ago. Katie is heartbroken that she’ll have to tell
Abigail’s mother her darling girl is gone.
When Katie is ambushed working late at
the scene, fired upon by an unknown assailant, she knows she must be
close to finding the killer. But the shooter vanishes into thin air. And
when a new young woman is taken, dark haired and dark eyed like the
others, Katie realizes her time is running out. Can she stay alive long
enough to track down this twisted murderer before another young life is
stolen too soon?
“Fast paced, characters intelligent
and had each others back. The plot was a bit harrowing, but from what
plot entailed I was confident one of the main protagonists, Katie had
the situation under control. At least the best of her capabilities as
the situation warranted. This ebook was fresh, tasteful and powerful. It
was a boon to read about a female with military experience who
maintained a level head and who put her knowledge to practice.” ~Amazon
“AMAZING characters (including
Cisco of coarse) & suspense in a twisty plot that sucks you in &
never lets you go. Highly RECOMMEND the entire series for some great
reading.” ~NetGalley

Sergeant
Winston Windflower is moving on to a new chapter of his life, no longer
an RCMP officer but now a Community Safety Officer in the small
community of Grand Bank, Newfoundland. But when a body is found in the
bed and breakfast he co-owns, diamonds are found in the body’s digestive
system, and then Windflower’s friend Dr. Sanjay, who was given the

tension with the joys of friendship, family, and gratitude. Come back to
Grand Bank for another great adventure in Sgt. Windflower Mysteries.

“Windflower
is a cook, a storyteller, a family man with contacts that stop you in
your tracks with that special Windflower phrase or relationship. The
setting is a story by itself. Together the author, Mike Martin, spins a
tale centred in Grand Bank Newfoundland with colour, winter storms,
crime, and Mounties that live on their stomachs.” — Don Graves, Canadian Mystery Reviews
“Be prepared to be charmed by Windflower, a food-loving sergeant who could possibly be Canada’s most polite Mountie.” — Halifax Chronicle-Herald
“Dangerous Waters is an engaging thriller with a superb cast” — Kirkus Reviews
