Murder in Dark Waters

They’re hunting a killer

But the bayou keeps its secrets

Angelique Santori has vowed that she’ll find her mother’s murderer. When chief of police Daniel LeCroix asks her to let the police handle things, they reach an agreement: She’ll go back to her life if he gives her updates on the case. But Daniel isn’t the only one who wants Angelique to stop digging… After she barely escapes a vicious attack, he’s even more insistent that she stay out of his case. She can’t deny that she’s attracted to him, but once her own life is on the line, she asks herself if she’s finally found a man she can trust.
