About the Book
A fresh start in a picturesque California seaside town turns deadly when a journalist and her husband uncover that their charming neighbors—and the entire community—are hiding secrets worth killing for.
Santa Maris looks like paradise. With its rugged California coastline, towering redwoods, and welcoming residents, it’s the perfect place for Harper and Finn James to rebuild their lives after devastating professional setbacks.
But beneath the town’s postcard-perfect charm, something is off. When a neighbor convinces Harper that the previous owners of their new home were murdered, she puts her journalistic instincts to work. But her murder investigation collides with Finn’s own covert mission—and exposes a web of buried crimes, dangerous conspiracies, and neighbors who will do anything to protect their secrets.
As another murder rocks the small seaside town, Harper and Finn race to uncover the truth before the perfect place for a new beginning becomes the last place they’ll ever call home.
