Riptide
She can con her way out of anything. Except this.
Cara Sweet is finally settling into her new life—a bakery, a found family, and feelings for newly appointed Police Chief Gabe Sawyer she can't quite hide.
Then a blackmailer shows up in Haven Cove—a woman who's made a career out of finding people who don't want to be found. She knows about the forged will and the fake identity.
She gives Cara nine days to pay up. Or watch it all burn.
Cara's already hiding her past from Gabe. Now she's hiding a blackmailer, too. Every lie pulls her deeper. Every secret pushes him further away. And Gabe—still proving himself in his new role as interim police chief—is starting to notice the cracks.
Cara's team will do anything to protect her. But this isn't a fight they can win with fists or firewalls. The blackmailer is smart, ruthless, and always three steps ahead.
And Gabe, the one person Cara wants to turn to, is the one person who can never know the truth.
Some secrets are worth any price.
Some prices are impossible to pay.

This book is full of interesting unique characters that I really love. There is plenty of complex suspense, action, and the beginning of a romance. I love the way God is sprinkled into the story. This is really an entertaining book with a good ending.
