Enjoy another short excerpt from book 2:

Cindy shifted in the leather passenger seat of the SUV and watched the people slowly emerge from their tents and beach houses.

Children could be heard laughing uncontrollably, only silenced by the offer of an ice cream cone. The setting sun caused the sparklers to emit a halo on the faces of the people carrying them. Strangers were striking up conversations and everyone was in a jovial mood anticipating tomorrow night’s 4th of July celebration. But Cindy had other things on her mind.
