To get it, he’ll have to go through Serenity Granger, the reckless girl he had a crush on all through high school. She’s a grown woman now and determined to save her family legacy from foreclosure. It’s easy to admire her tenacity but impossible to keep his hands off her.

When things heat up between them, she has to wonder—could he be the answer to all her grown-up fantasies? Or is he a snake in the vineyard, after the only thing that matters to him—her land?

Past relationships taught me that women are tornados of destruction. Love is a cyclone of obligations—a graveyard for useless, unwanted emotions. That is until a tiny timid blue-eyed blonde with a mysterious past blew into my life—Cookie. One kiss landed me in the eye of the storm. I recognize the signs of someone being hunted.

He’s a dangerous, cut, lean, beautiful, bossy biker who pierced my heart with his sharp jagged edges. Now I am faced with giving him all my ugly and taking a chance on us. He needs to know evil lurks in the shadows, ready to swallow me whole.

This was the summer that would change my life. No more being what everyone expected. No more doing what everyone else wanted. So when Luke came into my life, I decided to keep him a secret.

But all I saw was Luke—sweet, funny, caring—someone who would let me be the real me. But which was the real him?

The last thing Burke expects is a series of threats against his school and his students, designed to make sure they never perform act two. Then the body of a young woman, Trudi Ebbett, is found strangled in Halifax. A junior hockey player, a friend of one of the students, is the last person known to have seen her alive and is suspected of the murder. Lawyer Monty Collins, hired to represent him, cannot find anyone with a motive for killing Trudi. But Monty’s daughter Normie, who is a student at the school and one of the authors of the script, joins her dad and Father Burke as they look deeper into the case. And they begin to suspect that the death is somehow linked to the threats against the play and the events of 1917. But how could something that happened so long ago be a motive for murder in the 1990s?
