Waves of Forever Book 1
Lily Becker thought the worst day of her life was getting stood up at the altar, until she finds her ex-fiancé’s dead body in her family’s bridal shop. Overnight, her business turns into a crime scene. Her dreams of expansion crash, and angry brides demand refunds. Confused, scared, and sure she’s being watched, Lily fights to save her livelihood and her life.
Private Investigator Jake Ward is undercover in Forever Bay, searching for a stolen painting. As part of his cover, he leases the bait and tackle shop next to the bridal boutique. He doesn’t realize that Lily and her sisters had planned to rent it. When the police chief, a father figure to Lily, asks Jake to watch over her, he can’t say no. Guarding those who need help comes naturally to him.
Lily resents Jake’s intrusion, especially when it disrupts her family’s plans. But his strength and protectiveness begin to break down her walls. As danger closes in, their unexpected connection grows. Yet Jake’s secret threatens everything they’ve started. Can he solve the case before Lily learns the truth? Or will she see him as just another man who made her feel safe, only to leave her shattered?
A fatal car accident threatens to expose Rose Becker’s deepest regret. Four years ago, she kept her unplanned pregnancy and her son’s adoption a secret, even from her sisters. But when his adoptive parents die in a hit-and-run crash, Rose is overwhelmed with guilt and fear. Desperate to be part of his life, she discovers he may be at risk.
Mark Winters believes the collision that killed his brother and sister-in-law was no accident. Frustration builds when the police investigation stalls. When Rose shows up demanding answers, Mark questions her motives. Is she driven by guilt, or does she truly want what’s best for the child she gave up?
As Rose and Mark search for the truth, a powerful connection grows between them. But someone wants their questions to stop and is willing to silence them. With danger closing in, they must protect the boy who brought them together… and their own hearts.
