SECRETS OF MARCO ISLAND (Book 4: The Restaurant on Marco Island)

Ashley Scott thought she had already survived the worst betrayal of her life. After thirteen years of marriage, a struggling restaurant, and years of heartbreaking fertility treatments, she finally walks away from her husband, Dick, and returns to Marco Island. She believes she is coming home to heal, rebuild her career, and figure out what comes next.

She has no idea that leaving Dick may be the most dangerous thing she has ever done.

When FBI agents suddenly arrive asking questions about her ex-husband, Ashley discovers that the restaurant she helped build may have been hiding secrets far darker than she imagined. Dick has been using businesses—including their restaurant—as part of a criminal operation, and Ashley may have been an unwitting pawn all along.

Then Ken Carlton enters the picture.

A brilliant three-star Michelin chef, Ken is also a man carrying his own painful history—and a complicated connection to Ashley. When the truth finally explodes into the open, Ken risks everything to protect her.

Ashley came back to Marco Island believing her marriage had destroyed her future. But sometimes the end of one life is the beginning of another.

And this time, she may finally discover what real love looks like.
