Mischief in Marco Island

A Florida Mystery #1

by June Woods

Innocent until proven guilty, or until the truth turns deadly.

41-year-old Sophie Owen finds out her husband is having an affair, just moments after losing her career. With both her daughters off at college, she’s never felt so alone, lost, and destroyed.

She needs to get out of town, fast.

She escapes to beautiful sun-kissed Marco Island in Florida where she meets a handsome, mysterious businessman named Jake Oliveiro, who shows her what romance is supposed to be like. She can’t seem to stop thinking about him and everything feels like it’s falling into place.

Until her husband shows up in town unannounced… and Sophie finds herself as the main suspect in a murder investigation.

If she can’t unravel what happened to prove her innocence, her life will be ruined forever. The deeper Sophie looks at the case, the less she wants to know the truth. And just as more suspicious events and dark secrets start to overwhelm her, a helping hand steps in with more than just the answers she needs.

Will Sophie find out what happened to Jake? Will she prove her innocence in time?
Can she still find love amongst the chaos and finally get the second chance she deserves?


Mixing an unpredictable mystery with the perfect amount of romantic intrigue, Mischief in Marco Island is one series you won't want to miss!

Very well written, I was immediately drawn in to the story. I couldn’t believe when her husband showed up in Florida acting like nothing was wrong. The last page of the last chapter was hard to believe. When I turned the page and that was the end, I said how could you end the book that way. I need the next book now can’t wait. I thoroughly enjoyed the book you won’t be disappointed ♥️.

Sophie's life is falling apart quite literally at the seams. The career that she thought she had was gone. Then she catches her husband with another woman. So she decides she had enough. She files for divorce and runs away to Florida. There she is trying to decide what she needs to do when she meets a gentleman at a bar. From there she gets to know the gentleman and realizes what was missing in her life. Unfortunately her soon to be ex-husband follows her to Florida. Must read to see what happens. Forewarning the story does end a cliff hanger.

Wow what a Great read! I could see myself living vicariously through Sophie. I was fascinated by her bravery. She is not afraid to look for a new life. Jake is every woman's dream guy, smart, charming, handsome, driven and available. Or so it seems!! The ending I didn't see coming, can't wait to read book 2.

Sophie is having a rough day. First her job has ended and when she gets home she finds her husband with his assistant. She tells him to get out and decides to get away. At the resort she meets Jake and they start spending time together. He seems too good to be true, is he really interested in her? Ends on a cliffhanger.

This is the 5th book I've read written by June Woods; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the 1st book in the Florida Mystery Series; it is the beginning of another great series. The story continues into the next book and needs to be read in order.
