Becca's parents died a few months ago in a tragic boating accident while visiting her estranged grandmother. The problems is, Becca doesn't believe it was an accident. She contacts her late cousin's husband asking for a job as a research assistant. Since she hasn't been to the island in years, she hopes the years have given her the advantage of not being recognized. The only person she really needs to worry about is her grandmother and she's out of the country.
Max didn't have a happy marriage and the events surrounding his wife's death have made him an object of suspicion. He senses that Becca isn't what she seems, and he's determined to protect the family from an outsider with questionable motives.
Attempts are made on Becca's life and she has to suspect Max, even though she doesn't really want to. He suspects that she's trying to weasel her way into the family for money purposes, so there's plenty of distrust around. Not everyone on Eagle Island is what they seem.
This was a great story. It's on the short side, 197 pages, making it a light, diet read. I found it a little amusing that Becca would get so angry when Max suspected her of something when she suspected him of being a murderer numerous times. The other two books in this series are about Becca's brother, Jake, and sister, Wynne. I believe that these are stand alone stories. They're not out on Kindle just yet, but I'll be keeping my eyes open for them. Good Book!
