Bones and Roses

"Expect to be immersed" in this mystery from the New York Times–bestselling author of Swimsuit Body, featuring an amateur sleuth who attracts a kinky killer (Sandra Brown, New York Times–bestselling author).

After wrecking her real estate career in a booze-fueled blowout, Cypress Bay property manager and recovering alcoholic Tish Ballard thought she had put her past behind her. But when she opens an old trunk, a bequest from an anonymous benefactor, she finds it filled with bones and roses.

Suddenly Tish is plunged into a murder case that dates back to her childhood. Pitted against her high school crush, homicide detective Spence Breedlove, she finds herself in jeopardy—in more ways than one.

Can Tish unmask a killer before the man who broke her heart puts her behind bars or, worse, she becomes a corpse herself?

Bones and Roses is the 1st book in the Cypress Bay Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
