Secrets and Lies (Wood)

Some secrets won't stay buried. Boston police detective Dani Lake dreads returning to her small hometown of Skye, Alabama, for her ten-year high school reunion-and not just for the normal reasons. At only fifteen, Dani tragically discovered the body of her murdered classmate, setting in motion events leading to the unjust conviction of a dear friend and an unshakable burden of guilt she carries to this day. So when new evidence surfaces during her trip home which suggests the truth Dani's always suspected, she embarks on a mission to expose the real killer. Unexpectedly, she finds help in Skye police detective Chris Newton-who happens to be the man Dani's best friend is dying to set her up with and the only person who believes her. But when Dani pushes too hard, someone pushes back, endangering Dani and those closest to her as she unearths secrets deeper and darker than she ever imagined she'd learn-secrets that may finally bring the truth into the open, if they don't get her killed first.

Can a liar tell the truth? In her rebellious youth, Quinn Bello told a lie that had tragic consequences, permanently branding her as a troublemaker in her coastal hometown of Seaglass Cove, Florida. Desperate to atone for her past, Quinn dedicated her Tampa law practice to representing victims of injustice until disaster left her disbarred, out of options, and back in Seaglass Cove where it all began. Now she's hoping for a fresh start. That hope quickly evaporates when she discovers a dead body that inexplicably vanishes. Given her history, no one in town believes her-no one except café owner Ian Wolfe, a newcomer with his own secrets and reasons for refusing to hold Quinn's past against her. When they team up to redeem Quinn's reputation and expose the truth, the bizarre incidents start stacking up and the danger mounts, along with doubts about Quinn's story, sanity, and ultimately, her innocence. Will the pair expose the sinister forces at work before Quinn becomes the next victim?
