It was only a few weeks ago that Aphra Connollyโs life changed completely. She had been living a quiet existence on her fatherโs secluded island resort, until Seth Mulo turned up and stole her heart . . . and provided information that led her to find her mom in Seattle. But the reunion isnโt quite what she expected. Aphraโs mom, Natalie, doesnโt seem happy to see Aphra, and Natalieโs boyfriend, Joe, insists that Aphra go home. Even worse, Seth shows up, only to ask her to return the ring he gave her the previous summer. At least Natalieโs hunky neighbor is sympathetic. But when Joe is found dead at a nearby coffee shop, Aphra discovers her whole trip to Seattle has been based on a lie. And now someone just might be trying to kill her. . . .
