Romance Suspense

After years of intense curiosity about her birth family, Bailey Elliot is spending a few days on an isolated island in the Chesapeake checking out a house she just inherited from an unknown great-aunt. Tawes Island is where she was born and put up for adoption. Now is the perfect time to look into her past and find out answers to questions about her roots and family history.

But the people of Tawes don't take kindly to outsiders and her welcome is far from warm. The island is fraught with long-buried secrets, a lifetime of scandal and an eerie presence of hatred and danger. The residents want Bailey gone, the sooner the better.

Bailey is discovering who she is for the first time in her life. She is finding out where her artistic abilities came from, why she looks the way she does and what her birth mother was like. Even Daniel Catlin, the incredible man she meets on Tawes, the man she know is her soulmate, her destiny, wants her to leave as soon as she can. Daniel knows Bailey is in grave danger on the island and her safety becomes his greatest concern.

Temptation and passion win out, and together they face the biggest challenge of their lives. Hopefully, when the terror ends, if they're still alive, they can plan a future together.

BLOOD KIN is a pulse-pounding suspense thriller. It is a unique story that first takes you on a psychological journey, filling your head with questions. Then it follows up with an all-out, adrenaline pumping terror ride, sure to satisfy everyone who loves a great thriller. BLOOD KIN is gripping, romantic and should not be missed. Experience the thrill.

SUMMARY

Frozen beneath the treacherous ice, a man stares wide-
eyed, killed by a twelve-gauge shotgun. And hidden behind
the deceptive beauty of Tawes Island, secrets remain
unspoken, waiting to be brought to light.

Curious about the birth mother she's never known, Bailey
Elliott arrives on Tawes to look into her own past, but
its wary residents don't take to outsiders digging up long-
buried scandal. Her great-uncle warns her she's not safe,
her mother lies dead in the church graveyard, and despite
the sizzling attraction between them, Daniel Catlin tells
her, "The sooner you leave, the better."

Now Bailey discovers a diary no one wants her to read,
Daniel gives into temptation, and a decades-old crime of
passion is about to be reenacted...
