  Victoria was a young, naïve, single school teacher. Her only desire was to be respected at her job. The boys in her class teased and jostled for her approval. At first it appeared little more than classroom banter. All teachers were warned that it was every young boy’s dream to entice a young, pretty teacher into a sexual tryst. Very soon male students became rivals.   
  In her innocence, Victoria had no idea how a touch or a glance could easily be misinterpreted, labeling a teacher as a sexual predator. Victoria thought she could control any situation until she found herself caught in the web of forbidden love.  
  Unconditional love is when two souls have a single thought, 
  when two hearts beat as one. 
  They dance to the same tune 
  and sing the same song. 
  But what does one do when love is found 
  in the wrong place?

  Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder … 
   
  Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky. 
   
  The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying. 
   
  Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …
