Sea Smoke Island has a way of dragging the past into the light...no matter who gets burned.

Gabby Ramon barely escaped with her life the last time she set foot on Sea Smoke Island. But what self-respecting true crime podcaster could walk away from so many buried secrets, including literal pirate treasure? She’s determined to uncover the truth—even if it means clashing with the island’s most powerful—and infuriatingly handsome—man.

Barnaby Carmichael never wanted to run his family’s empire, but protecting their legacy means keeping a dangerous secret buried. When Gabby’s investigation starts hitting too close to home, he’s ready to shut her down. Until islanders begin falling mysteriously ill—and the only person who can help him clear his family’s name is the woman threatening to expose it.

As desire sparks and danger deepens, Gabby and Barnaby must decide what’s riskier—the secrets they’re uncovering or the way they’re falling for each other.

TRICK OF LIGHT is an enemies to lovers romantic suspense set on the hauntingly beautiful coast of Maine.

Dru

 

When Evie Taylor shows up at my dog rescue for our annual Christmas party, I can barely hold it together. She’s the woman I’ve always wanted, the one I couldn’t have. But this time, even if it takes a Christmas miracle, she won’t be the one who got away.

When fear itself is a beautiful thing…

I am Mina, a slave in the most elite, high protocol circles of kink. This is the life I was made for. This is where I belong. This is where I feel safe, where I find comfort in the harsh rituals of punishment and degradation I am subjected to every day—because this I can count on.

Until I am taken. Pulled out of the safety net that is kink for me, and delivered to a pair of Masters unlike any others I have come across before. And somehow, even as they torture me, pleasure me, then torture me again, my heart gets tangled with theirs…only to be subjected to a kind of pain I have never known. And I have to ask myself, how will any of us survive?

*Previously published in the Dangerous Allure anthology, this is a newly expanded version.

Some secrets are buried deep. On Sea Smoke Island, digging them up could cost you everything...including your heart.

Heather McPhee swore she’d keep her distance from Sea Smoke Island—she escaped the reputation of the “messy McPhees” and intended to keep it that way. But when her best friend and podcast co-host vanishes after uncovering a bombshell story on the remote Maine island, Heather has no choice but to go back.

Luke Carmichael also thought he left the drama of his powerful family behind. Banished from their elite resort and raising his daughter on his own, the island constable prefers a quiet life. Until Heather storms back into town, stirring up old ghosts.

As they investigate Gabby’s disappearance, Heather and Luke uncover a generations-old conspiracy tied to the elite Carmichael resort, one someone will kill to protect. And as sparks fly between the messy McPhee and the renegade Carmichael, they’ll have to decide what’s worth risking—the truth, their lives… or their hearts.

Because on Sea Smoke Island, some secrets refuse to stay buried. And the truth always comes to light.
