Escape to Ospey Cove by Luisa Marietta Gold

Escape to Ospey Cove by Luisa Marietta Gold

What Doug finds in the secret compartment of his new red Corvette will forever change both his and Catherine’s life. Doug and Catherine come from two different worlds. Catherine’s world is one of privilege and wealth. Doug grew up dirt poor and full of envy of others who had the things that he wanted but could not have. His goal was to one day have all the things he coveted. Their worlds collide when Catherine, VP of a large New York City marketing firm, hires Doug. As soon as Doug learns of Catherine’s wealth, he sees Catherine as his ticket to all the things he covets. After a whirlwind courtship, they are married.

Poor boy meets rich girl should have resulted in happily ever after — not exactly. Doug quickly learns he also covets independence. Events begin to unfold in each of their lives. For Doug, it is his mysterious discovery in the secret compartment of the Corvette. For Catherine, it is a business meeting with Alex Droxell at the Osprey Cove Lodge. When Catherine enters the beautiful and serene lodge, it’s as though she is entering another place and time. The lodge is an escape from the nightmare she is living back home.

About Featured Book: Death of the Saltwater Blonde by J.C. Ceron

A tropical getaway. A body in the ocean. Will his single-minded pursuit of the truth reel in a murderer?

Jamaica. NYPD detective Miles Jordan’s sharp sense of justice doesn’t take time off. So during a glass-bottom boat tour crowded with passengers, it’s his eagle-eyes that spot a naked corpse submerged in the clear blue waters. And after the female victim is identified as an American, he shrugs off his vacation and agrees to help the locals solve the brutal homicide.

Wary of the police’s motives, Miles is skeptical when a suspect is quickly apprehended and he’s ordered to sign off the case. But his instincts push him to continue the investigation on his own… even as his precinct boss threatens to revoke his badge.

Can the relentless cop net the culprit before he loses his career?

Death of the Saltwater Blonde is the breezy first novella in the Miles Jordan Vacation Mysteries series. If you like intelligent heroes, perplexing puzzles, and lavish destinations, then you’ll love J. C. Ceron’s killer holiday.
