Red Tide at Heron Bay

Lauren Voss has a nice, quiet, orderly life running her grandmother''s Heron Bay Resort on the Texas coast. Three years removed from a break-up that left her ex--and her life--behind in San Diego, she''s adjusted to the slow pace in Rockport, seeking out neither new friends nor lovers. Vandalism at the resort''s clubhouse--and a cryptic message written in blood--brings Detective Harley Shepherd, with her obnoxious Hawaiian shirts, into her life. A tragedy sent Harley Shepherd running to the sleepy fishing village of Rockport, where violent crime is rare. So different from her life as a homicide detective in a large city, she embraced the quiet and easy-going attitude of the town, determined to put her past behind her. Was it luck or fate that had her catch a case of simple vandalism? The lovely Lauren Voss made no attempt to hide her dislike of both her--she reminded Lauren of her ex--and her Hawaiian shirts. Was the vandalism a prank, as Lauren suspects? When a body is found floating near the resort''s pier, Harley is convinced it''s related. As the formality and animosity between them changes and a friendship forms, the women find themselves growing closer as a killer terrorizes the peaceful town they both now call home.
