About the Book:
Beautiful shore, dangerous season~
Summer tourists flock to the shore
of Lake Superior—beautiful clean blue water, historic lighthouses, and
thick pine forest. Audra Blair, a young single mom, is no longer going
to work for someone else during the brief summer tourist trade. She has
bought an old Victorian near the lakeshore and has opened “Audra’s
Place,” a coffee shop-bakery in the mornings. And in the evenings a
carry-out pizza shop. Her future and her little girl’s hinges on its
success. She is the sole support of her child, not wanting to have
contact with the man who abandoned her when she told him she was
expecting six years ago.
But someone in town is dangerously unhappy
and begins setting booby traps that explode into flame. Targeting
people close to Audra and Carter.
Memorial Day, the first weekend
of the all important summer tourist season, begins with an unwelcome
bang. At a local highway convenience store, new Sheriff Carter Harding
is on scene, pumping gas when the dumpster behind the store explodes. No
one is hurt but Carter must investigate and quickly. The tourist season
is the life-blood of little Winfield—nothing must make tourists stay
away.
Carter grew up here and his wild youth follows him-in
spite of his spotless record in law enforcement in another department in
the state. Many, especially Audra’s uncle, question whether he has
reformed. More booby-trap fires push Carter to question whether he is
really sheriff material. And as he’s drawn to Audra, her uncle does
whatever he can to undermine Carter. Can Audra and Carter break free of
the past and have a future together? And will Carter crack the case
before someone is severely injured or dies?
Originally published as Dangerous Season in 2007. This edition is revised and updated substantially.
My Review:
What excellent story! With trying to discover who was setting the fires, I must say the story had me guessing until the end! I loved the dynamic between Audra and Carter whether they would end up together or not, and I loved the setting of the book with the tourism backdrop. Definitely a book I would recommend!
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the author. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
