[Dusky Cove B&B 04] • Inn Dire Straits

Lori wants everything in her BB to be perfect to meet her son’s girlfriend. But can Lori clear her of murder charges?

Lori Keyes is gearing up for her second busy summer running a bed and breakfast in the resort town of Dusky Cove when she gets great news: her son is finally bringing his girlfriend Annie to meet her. Lori knows this is big, so she wants everything at her bed and breakfast — and the rest of the town — to be perfect for Annie.

Although she knows her son is dating a local girl, Lori can’t plan for what happens when they run into someone from Annie’s past — or when he alludes to a dark secret. But her plans don’t really go awry until Annie’s old friend winds up the victim of a hit-and-run.

Everyone thinks Annie looks guilty, leaving her in dire straits. She pleads with Lori to prove her innocent. Lori will have to dig into the long-buried past and uncover those secrets to figure out who killed Annie’s friend before the killer turns on Annie next.
