Deadly Payoff

A NOTE FROM DELIA BLANCHARD

So many things have been happening here at our family's mansion, I can't go home to Hawaii: I've met my long-lost grandparents; learned the woman shot to death in the library was my aunt, not my mother; and been threatened by a blackmailing loan shark!

And Shaun Murphy is back in my life–he was hired to repair the damage after the shooting. He's been rather distant with me, but I think, with God's help, I can convince him to help me track down my missing mother–and perhaps give our love another chance, too.
