You are cordially invited to Piper's pity party as she struggles with forgiveness amid distractions of Emerald Green Envy. Join Piper as she wends her way to the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, to heal from the trauma of her uncle's trial and her husband's scathing last words.Escaping from the frigid St. Louis winter, Piper rents a lovely beach cottage in hopes that sand, sun, and gallons of sweet tea will mend her shattered heart. Instead, as she sinks deeper into depression, Piper finds trouble lurking under every hush puppy. When she tries to help a stranger, Piper stumbles onto a counterfeiting scheme, a jewel heist, and two murders, all while trying to ignore the attentions of a very handsome-and determined young detective. When her beach vacation of peace and relaxation goes sideways, she leaves for home, only to lend her skills to another stranger in need while continuing to rebuild her relationship with her loving yet slightly impatient Aunt Grace. Laugh, cry, and hold your breath as you journey alongside this lovable reformed thief who finds old habits hard to break in the fast-paced second book of the Piper Jewell Diaries trilogy

In a remote village of northwestern post-Revolution Romania, Ovidiu Todoran, a poor subsistence farmer, is murdered. His 19-year old pregnant daughter, Tatiana, is missing. Whisked away to Bucharest by her wealthy American lover, Kenton Farraday, Tatiana dreams of a future full of the love and riches she has seen on American television. Instead, Tatiana is kept a virtual prisoner in the Farraday family's large, but hostile Bucharest home. A search for her and her father is conducted in her village, but the case eventually goes cold. From the quiet country roads of poverty-stricken 1991 Romania to the bustling streets of St. Louis, Missouri, in 2016, this story takes you on a journey in which deception, manipulation, bribery, and corruption are woven into a page-turning mystery that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
