Deadly Ties (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228627739)

Five years after her beloved mother's death, Mila is forced home to Vancouver Island to care for her alcoholic, terminally ill father.

But it's not all bad. While moonlighting as a cabdriver to pay the bills, she meets Ava, a beauty with a golden voice who immediately captures Mila's heart. And yet, Ava's world isn't exactly the peaceful escape Mila yearns for. Ava is forced to board her arsonist sister, Jessica, and turns a blind eye to reports of local fires. With difficulty, Mila helps Ava break away from Jessica's toxic dependence.

However, the couple's peace is short-lived when a strange man begins stalking Ava. Despite Mila's efforts to protect her, the hunter closes in. It takes a shotgun blast to reveal the truth -- a truth that leaves Mila in a fight against the deadly ties that bind her.
