It's 1974, the dawn of Disco, and cocaine is pouring into Miami. Whitey Snow is in too deep with Peruvian drug lords and hatches a last-ditch scheme to get out before it's too late. When his cold-blooded boss becomes suspicious, things turn deadly.

Forty-five years later, divemaster AJ Bailey meets a mysterious client interested in wreck diving. Soon, AJ discovers her new friend's motives have less to do with a vacation, and more to do with what happened in '74.

The deeper they dive into the treacherous Caribbean, the deadlier the danger becomes... until Whitey's hidden secret threatens the lives of both women.

Wreck of the Raptor is Book 3 of the exciting AJ Bailey Adventure series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.

Hidden clues. Deadly wrecks. A ticking clock.

When AJ Bailey heads to the Florida Keys for a scuba diving conference, she's looking forward to a relaxing trip. But when an old friend goes missing and his wife is in trouble, the holiday is over.

Amid a sea of threats and lies, AJ has 24 hours to find her friend and the mysterious package he took, before payback will be taken in lives.

With no idea where to start, and time running out, AJ soon discovers the answers may lie deep inside the infamous shipwrecks of Key Largo.

Book Twelve in this best-selling series dives into the waters of the Florida Keys with fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and a guest appearance by the marvellous Emily Durand from Nick Sullivan's 'The Deep Series'.

Read in series order or as stand-alone novels.

A lady intent on refusing the fortune she desperately needs. A gentleman caught up in a smuggling scheme.

Kate Matcham needs a fortune or a husband. She wants neither. With a tainted inheritance in the balance, she receives one offer to become a scoundrel's mistress and another offer of a marriage of convenience. Before resigning herself to a choice, she accepts the invitation to visit a childhood friend, considering it a last hurrah before embarking on a bleak future. The visit goes sideways when she falls for the gentleman her friend intends to marry, a man well out of Kate's league--and one who seems to be hiding something. Smuggling has overtaken the county, and it seems that everyone is complicit in the trade that killed her father. One by one, her options dwindle as she struggles against her strengthening feelings for a duplicitous man, a determination not to hurt her friend, and keeping the promise she made long ago: to stand up to the people who killed her father.

For two happy couples, the cruise of a lifetime may cost their lives.

Mae Barlowe's annual beach trip is anything but a vacation.

It's the anniversary of the worst day of her life.

When her husband and best friend surprise her with a last-minute itinerary change in the form of a couples' cruise, she struggles to hide her reservations about the new plan.

A week spent cruising around in a tropical paradise sounds like a dream come true to everyone else, but for Mae, it's an eerie reminder of chilling memories from her past.

Once on board the ship, a mysterious stranger causes confusion among the group, leading them to ask unsettling questions of one another.

Before they can get real answers, tragedy strikes.

Trapped on the vessel as it ventures toward their first destination, the friends struggle to come to grips with their new reality.

How do they stay safe when danger seems to be lurking around every corner?

Who can be trusted when nothing is quite what it seems?

How far will they go to protect the ones they love?

Sun, sand, and secrets await on this cruise to die for.

Through this tender and magical tale, a shining star holds a child whose every breath would whisper promises of a better, brighter world.

Join us as we embark on an adventure through the Compassion Garden, where kindness blooms like flowers in the sun.

We'll wander through the Forest of Forgiveness, where second chances grow like leaves on trees.

We'll navigate the River of Courage, where bravery flows like water, and climb the Mountain of Generosity, where sharing and caring reach new heights.

We'll soar through the Sky of Gratitude, where thankfulness twinkles like stars in the night sky.

In each mystical space, we will explore the meaning of each gift and share examples that will help illustrate how they can be used in our daily actions.
