She went searching for a missing girl

And discovered a dangerous mystery.

Shanna Hudson had been tricked into using her private investigator skills….and with an unlikely partner to boot. While Kaden Rafferty had the skills Shanna needed to find a teen who disappeared near Mystic Lake, the handsome boater was proving troublesome for her heart to ignore. But after their underwater search led them to a body that was never reported missing, they had a more complex case to solve. Someone in the small town was leaving a trail…one that could be deadly to them both.
