It’s Release Day for Shrouded Past - And There’s A Giveaway!

 

A former lawman who lost everything.

A woman who can’t remember her past.

An unexpected encounter that will put two strangers squarely in the crosshairs of danger.

An explosive ending no one saw coming.

Hi everyone. Today is the release day for Shrouded Past – Book 5 of the Hope Island Securities series which is set in the fictional town of Hope Island, Maine. The series features a team of private investigators who have all felt the impact of danger in their lives. Each has gone through the fire and come out changed. Because they understand what it feels like to face down deadly men, the team members founded the business to help others going through the same thing.

Hope Island Securities Team motto is:

When you’re all out of options.

When there’s no place else to turn.

There’s hope.

 Shrouded Past is the first book in the series that doesn’t feature one of the Hope Island Securities team members as a main character. Shrouded Past introduces Bryce and Piper, two people whose lives unexpectedly collide with danger when the past and all its secrets catch up with them.  

Here’s a little about the book:

Former Wyoming Sheriff Bryce Malone is determined to put as much space and as many states between him and the tragedy that had taken away his life.

He’d gone after international drug smugglers, and it had cost him dearly when his wife was taken hostage and killed. The smugglers got away. He’d stopped nothing.

Bryce tossed his badge on the mayor’s desk and left. He’s done with being the good guy and doing the right thing.

After renting a beachside cabin on Hope Island, Maine, Bryce comes across a single-vehicle accident near his home late one night. The car is empty but there is blood on the seats. Inside the trunk, a frightened woman is bound and gagged.

Piper Alexander was taken at gunpoint and forced into the trunk. And the worst part? She has no idea why. If it hadn’t been for the accident and the man who saved her, she’d be dead.

With Piper refusing to go to the police, Bryce asks her to trust him. But he’ll need more help than what he alone can provide to figure out who is coming after Piper. He reaches out to his neighbor, and one of the owners of Hope Island Securities, JT Wyatt.

Can Bryce and the team unravel the truth behind Piper’s abduction before it’s too late? Find out in this exciting installment of the Hope Island Securities series.
