Shadows At Misty Cove: To uncover the truth, she'll have to trust the man who buried it. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088118153)

Some towns forget. Misty Cove never does.

Ten years ago, Julia Hart fled the fog-shrouded coastal town of Misty Cove with a heart full of grief and secrets she could never outrun. Her best friend, Sarah Jenkins, vanished one stormy night after a mysterious bonfire, and the silence that followed buried the truth deeper than the tides. Now a seasoned investigative journalist with a national byline, Julia returns-not to heal, but to uncover what the town refuses to remember.

But Misty Cove is not the same place she left behind. Shadows linger in the salt-stained streets, old alliances have twisted into something darker, and someone clearly wants the past to stay buried. The threats begin the moment she arrives-cryptic warnings, her friend's old locket nailed to her door, and a figure from her past watching from the fog.

Alec Mason was the lead detective on Sarah's case-and the man Julia once loved. Guilt drove them apart. The truth may pull them together... or destroy them both. Because the deeper Julia digs, the more she realizes the disappearance wasn't just a tragedy. It was a cover-up. And the people responsible still hold power, still know where to hurt her most.

As she and Alec navigate a tangled web of betrayal, blackmail, and forbidden love, the lines between past and present begin to blur. A decades-old photograph. A hidden ledger. A ring with a family crest. Each clue draws them closer to a devastating truth-and a killer who's been waiting in the mist for far too long.

In a town where silence is survival and secrets are currency, will Julia uncover the truth-or become the next name whispered through the fog?

Shadows of Misty Cove is a gripping romantic thriller that blends small-town mystery, emotional suspense, and second-chance longing into a story that won't let you go. Perfect for fans of Nora Roberts, Lisa Gardner, or Melinda Leigh.
