Laked (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781509213740)

Vivian DuLac, shop owner of Curiosity's Curios and Collectibles, has come into possession of an old sword that Arthur ("Able") Leroy wants. But that's not all that Able wants. He wants Vivian and her connections to her ex-husband, CEO of a large software company.

Able follows Vivian to northern Minnesota where her ex-husband is meeting to discuss a merger with another company. It's the one that Able used to own and the one taken from him by his scheming stepsister, Faye Morgan.

When Faye dies under unusual circumstances, everyone associated with her comes under suspicion, including Vivian and Able. On a storm-shrouded night, Vivian finds out if she can trust Able. And they both find out if an ancient sword is worth Vivian's life.
