[Cape Trouble 04] • Whisper of Revenge (A Cape Trouble Novel Book 4)

* Loving the wrong man can be a death sentence…*

Cape Trouble, a tiny Oregon Coast town, was named for the dangerous off-shore reefs. But some of its citizens seek refuge from their own troubles…which have a way of following them.

Gifts from a secret admirer unsettle bookstore owner and single parent Hannah Moss. She finds herself searching every face, wondering what lies behind that smile, that stare. When renowned artist Elias Burton lends her his support, the gifts become threats. By turning to the wrong man, she’s infuriated her secret admirer…and put herself and her young son in danger. But not until her child is kidnapped does she understand the terrifying price she must pay for loving a man so wounded.

A local celebrity and recluse, Elias Burton has lost every woman who has ever mattered. Because of his past, he fears to reach out to Hannah Moss…but he has never been so tempted. In protecting her, he enrages a sick, angry man who will do anything to make Elias pay over and over again for long-ago wrongs. And what better way to wound Elias than to kill the woman and child he’s dared to love?

The whisper of revenge is all he has to lead him to his enemy…if it’s not already too late.
