A
Callie Morgan and Carolina Slade crossover! (A standalone mystery)
When a renowned—and
now dead—travel blogger washes ashore on the banks of Indigo
Plantation, Police Chief Callie Morgan of Edisto Beach agrees to head
the investigation as a favor to the county sheriff, whose reasons are
as questionable as the death itself.
When death turns to
murder and a watchdog from the county makes her investigation
difficult, Callie reluctantly turns to Carolina Slade and Wayne
Largo, vacationing agents with the Department of Agriculture. Because
poison is growing on this plantation, and someone knows how to use it
well.

young and scared, and she let that fear get the best of her. She left
the man of her dreams, the only man to ever love so passionately, so

teachers. She wasn’t supposed to fall in love with him, but who can

didn’t even take a minute to think about the consequences of her
actions. Not only did she break her own heart by leaving, but also
his. Could Max ever be able to forgive her for that?
When
he shows up unexpectedly for the big family dinner one weekend, it
looks like she might get her chance to find out. Letting go of the
fear of her father’s reaction is easier said than done, but if it
means having a second chance with Max then surely it would all be
worth it, won’t it?
What
will happen when the two most important men in Harlow’s life
finally come face to face?
But
it’s not her father alone she has to worry about. Harlow has a
secret. It’s a big secret, an important life-altering secret. If
she thought Max wouldn’t forgive her before, now he’ll probably
hate her for life. Even if Harlow explains, even if she apologizes,
could it ever be enough?

It's
3am...While most minds are in a blissful state of slumber, mine is
wide awake conjuring and pondering endless thoughts. Eyes are fixated
on the dark popcorn ceiling above and ears are soaking in blue tunes
as my autopilot mind becomes overwhelmed with the past, future and
every cherry topped dream in between.
These
thoughts range from warm and fuzzy to dark and slightly crippling.
Sometimes I wish that my mind had an off switch so that I could power
down at night. No such luck. So, wakie wakie! Grab yourself a coffee
and a snack because it's 3am and I have so many thoughts to share
with you.
As
someone with anxiety, writing is my way of speaking. When my verbal
skills fail, my pen excels. I have always had something to say to the
world and to the humans residing in it, I just could never get my
mind and mouth to be on the same level. So, I picked up a pen and
haven't looked back. I have a message for you. A message for my
family, my friends and to all the beating hearts. Dear You is a
letter personally written, from me to you.
