    Secrets and lies collide in this upcoming explosive Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson. 
    Rowena Smith may be a top-shelf librarian, but solid investigative skills won’t keep her safe after her newest research project—tracking down her biological father—leads her to a brutally murdered body. The scene offers up one hope for assistance: the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana. Alone and terrified in a foreign country, Rowena places the call. 
    About to board a flight home after a failed mission, Kurt can’t ignore the plea in Rowena’s voice. She could be the killer or she could be an innocent bystander—either way, he senses she holds information vital to his case. When Kurt’s flight takes off without him—only to crash into the African savanna killing everyone onboard—he knows it’s no coincidence. Rowena saved his life. 
    On the run from powerful enemies, he and Rowena pose as a couple—never mind that she’s much too young for him. As danger escalates and they inch closer to the secret someone is trying desperately to prevent them from revealing, their fake relationship spirals into something far more perilous. And deeply personal. 
    The game gets deadlier with each and every step toward the truth. But there’s no turning back and they’ll need to rely on their skills and their wits—and each other—if they hope to survive. 
    If you love age-gap romance, high-stakes danger, and alpha heroes with a soft spot for the woman they protect, don’t miss this thrilling, action-packed story!

The police suspect a tragic accident, but Sandy notices the sandcastle's architecture has been subtly sabotaged and the victim's prized golden shovel is missing. With the town's summer tourism at stake, Sandy must dig into the case with help from her quirky barista and the handsome marine biologist who runs the local tide pool tours. From suspicious tide patterns to hidden messages in the sand sculpture designs, every grain of evidence points toward a killer who knows the beach as well as Sandy does. But when she uncovers a network of buried secrets involving real estate schemes, old summer romances, and a missing treasure map, Sandy realizes this was more than just competitive sabotage. With the tide coming in and evidence literally washing away, Sandy must solve the case before the killer decides one beachside blunder isn't enough.
