Athena Cooper’s tragic past drives her to seek solace in a bottle. The addiction threatens her legal career, and she risks spiraling out of control. When her dog engineers a meeting with an all-too-handsome hunk, it’s lust at first sight…until she discovers his identity.
Businessman Russell Crawford is desperate to find the woman who cheated him out of his inheritance. His shock when she turns out to be the gorgeous red head he had a brief encounter with is only surpassed when she claims his father was a murderer.
Athena and Russ declare a truce and join forces to investigate the mystery of her parents’ disappearance from an isolated island off the rugged Northwest Coast of British Columbia. Russ promises to be her safe harbor as they uncover long-buried secrets that rock her very foundation. Can she overcome a lifelong distrust and open her heart to love?
Between The Pages
This story checked off all the ‘must read’ boxes. The west coast setting of Canada drew me in immediately. Athena and Russ have great chemistry from their first meeting, providing a touching romance element. The mystery/suspenseful plot was masterfully written with twists and turns. Just when you think you solved the mystery, the author throws in another revelation. As Athena and Russ dig deeper into the disappearance of her parents, their findings pull the reader in and grabs your attention to the very end. A well-rounded cast adds to the enjoyment, especially Otis, Athena’s loveable dog. Get comfy in your favourite reading spot because once you open this book, you won’t want to put it down.
