Nothing is ransacked or looted. The only sound is the plink of the dripping faucet against the dirty dishes in the sink. I move into the living room, listen again, then make my way toward the bedroom.“Hello?” I call out.There’s no answer.I stop just shy of our open bedroom door and peek inside. The bed’s unmade and the comforter’s halfway on the floor, but everything else is as I remember. I go to the dresser. The shoebox and money are still there along with the envelope.It isn’t like me to be this paranoid, but this damn money has me all turned around in the head. I should just burn it and be done with it, but that would be stupid, and Rachel would never forgive me. In the back of her mind, I know she still thinks there’s a chance we might keep it.I sit on the bed, already hating myself for what I’m about to do. It takes less than a minute to count the money, but all ten thousand is there—just as I knew it would be. I tell myself I only checked to remove all doubt that someone had been inside our house. That was all. It had nothing to do with the hundred-dollar bill I found inside Rachel’s purse.Nothing at all..

All she wants is the truth. Someone else just wants revenge. Daphne Sullivan wants the truth about the mother she never knew and the visions she was told were dangerous—visions that make her suspect her mother was murdered. After her father’s death, Daphne moves to her mother’s old cottage, determined to find the answers he never gave her. In beautiful Rosemary Mountain, she finds the love and community she’s always wanted. Fiona, a feisty herbalist who knew her mother, introduces her to the family gift of second sight. Emerson, the gorgeous guy with eyes only for her, makes Daphne feel like she might be exactly where she belongs. But this town is full of secrets, and someone here is looking for revenge. When strange things start happening at the cottage, Daphne doesn’t know who she can trust—including herself. If she can’t uncover the truth, she’ll face the same fate as her mother. Author’s Note: This is book one in a mystery trilogy. Each book is a complete story with secrets uncovered and a murder solved, but the mystery that begins the adventure—the mystery of what happened to Daphne’s mother—will not be fully solved until the final book. Recommended for those who love reading trilogies, murder mysteries, cozy small towns, quirky characters, closed-door romance, found family, and a touch of the paranormal.
