Emma Love Mystery

Emma Love never thought she'd return to her hometown after years away from her estranged family. But when her sister-in-law is kidnapped, Emma puts her life on hold to help an old flame, Deputy Sam Mattingley, solve the case and bring Gwen home. With a degree in Criminal Justice and part-time experience working at a detective agency, Emma's skills are tested. As the layers of secrecy are peeled back, Emma realizes the mystery shrouding Love's Manor and her brother's marriage is more intricate than anyone could have fathomed. Can she navigate the convoluted trail of clues and locate Gwen before it's too late? And what of her long-suppressed feelings for Sam Mattingley...are they merely a product of nostalgia...or something more?

After a winter spent tailing unfaithful spouses, Emma Love vows to stop breaking hearts for a living. She retreats to her fair-weather occupation-leading kayak tours. But when threats target her and her family, turning away is no longer an option. She enlists help from her old (and new again) boyfriend, Deputy Sam Mattingley, and a host of friends, including those beyond the living veil. As the layers of secrecy are peeled away, Emma contends with the realization that the mystery shrouding the Pratt/Johnson murders and her cousin's marriage is more dangerous than imagined. Can she navigate the clues in time to clear her cousin-or will the truth pull them all under?
