An interior designer for Aqua Verdi Passenger Line based on Amelia Island, Florida in 1889, Carolena Dunnigan is witness to something so disillusioning, she flees to Charleston, South Carolina seeking work.

Decades of secrets seep forth as she chases the truth, which drives her into the horrific Johnstown, Pennsylvania Flood.

Now read an Excerpt: 

"I wish you'd develop a splash of patience!"

Ignoring her, Grey brushed past, instantly recognizing he'd interrupted something. His confirmation was her ruddy face and puffy lips. It was a blessed good thing he'd come along when he had. "Patience? I've been freezing outside, waiting for your highness like some lap dog. When you say five o'clock, I damn well expect you to be downstairs waiting for me at five o'clock. I sure don't have to ask what you've been up to. And where is this man who tempts you so much, you're willing to debase yourself at his mere beckoning?"

Carolena looked to the velvet pillows now crushed on the floor. Wadded in the corner was the blue dress. There was little sense denying it. Then again, who was he to tell her what was proper? He'd bedded hundreds of women, she was sure, so he had no room to talk. Remaining calm, lest her feeling of guilt show, she told him, "Signor Alontti is attending to business. He sends his regards."

"Yeah? I'll just bet he does. Come on. Let's get the hell out of this lair before I find your lover and lay him out!"

Whether you are new to the series or you have read The Goodbye Lie, you will discover the books stand alone. Each is an experience in suspense, treachery and deceit doing fierce battle with family bonds and honor.

The Dunnigans:

As you enter the lovely Victorian seaside town of Fernandina on the island called Amelia in the year 1882, you will likely run into one of the Dunnigan clan and/or their circle. Patriarch and architect Michael might be deliberating in his home office at Dunnigan Manor over designs before presenting them to a wealthy client. His wife, Miss Ella, may well be in her kitchen, adding a bit more paprika to her Angel Eggs recipe http://www.greenlightwrite.com/deviledeggs.htm. It must be perfect you know, for she does, albeit graciously, boast a fair number of blue ribbons for her culinary efforts. 18-years-old Breelan often rides Noir to an isolated spot on Amelia Beach where she writes short stories in secret hoping to mustering courage enough to show them to her newspaper editor to critique. Nora, Breelan's cousin and best friend, is frantic, yet again, as she searches for Breelan. Why? Because Nora simply must share that the son of the traveling notions merchant winked at her! Carolena Dunnigan, the oldest Dunnigan sibling, is probably plotting how to get even with Breelan for using her jade earbobs without asking. Young Jack Patrick and his little sister, Marie, are likely chasing the chickens while Blackie-White-Spots is barking non-stop at the scene. His tail wagging with the speed of a hummingbird's wing, he catches his playful nemesis, Monstie, the marmalade kitty, flash by on his way to a hidey-hole under the porch. Grammy and adopted second grandmother, Peeper, are pot walloping the kettles to a bright fare-thee-well until nasty Aunt Noreen comes bursting through the slamming screen door, hollering. What is the crisis this time? Peeper's elixir-fixer starch potion left purple spots all over the blue nightshirt she got her husband his last birthday. Peeper is sure to giggle that sarcastic giggle of hers as she reminds Noreen, if she had any sense in that peahead of hers, she should have tested the elixir on the inside hem. Town nosey-poke, Mrs. Ickles, is on her way to Dunnigan Manor, intent on tattling on Jack Patrick for his part in mining the sparkling granite stones from the front columns of the vacant house o South 3rd Street. It's all just another day of high collars, parasols, and pocket watches in the lively little town called Fernandina on the pretty little island called Amelia until ...
