Bestselling author Jake Tapper’s “absolute page-turner” (Gillian Flynn) transports readers to the 1970s underground world of cults, celebrities, tabloid journalism, serial killers, disco, and UFOs. It’s 1977. Ike and Lucy, the kids of Senator Charlie and Margaret Marder, are grown up—and in trouble. US Marine Ike has gone AWOL after a military operation gone horribly wrong. Now he's off the grid, working on the pit crew of the moody stunt master Evel Knievel and hanging in the roughest dive bar in Montana. His sister Lucy has become the star reporter of a brand-new Washington, DC tabloid breaking stories about a serial killer and falling in with the wealthy, shady British family that owns the newspaper. As they deal with the weirdness and menace of the time—celebrities, cults, the rise of tabloid journalism, the death of Elvis Presley, the Summer of Sam, and a time of national unease—Ike and Lucy soon realize that their worlds are not only full of compromises and bad choices, but danger. As their lives begin to spiral out of control, they also spiral towards one another. And the decisions they make could mean life and death not only for them—but also their beloved parents.

She’s a gossip who’s revealed everyone’s secrets… …he’s an ex-spy who’ll kill to keep his hidden. Nicki A weekend at a luxury Lodge was meant to be the perfect place to hide from Blueskin Bay’s inaugural Valentine’s Day festival. This year it’s a triple decker of disappointment. Not only will I be spending a landmark birthday alone on Valentine’s Weekend, but someone has been threatening me. They call all hours of the night, send me icky things in the mail, and tell me they’re going to spill all my sordid secrets. My brilliant plan? Tell my grandmother I want to treat myself to a weekend away then start a process of elimination to figure out who it might be. Then Maddox Reid shows up at the Lodge and demands I leave before I even check in! I must be crazy to believe anything Blueskin Bay’s most wanted says. But it’s hard to argue with six feet of magnetism, and seductive promises. Especially difficult to protest when he lets you cry on his shoulder and agrees to help you. And it’s absolutely impossible to when you find yourself making out with him on Valentine’s Day… Maddox It’s Murphy’s Law that Nicki Davis showed up on my island. I’m already saddled with an amateur on this op. It’s no surprise the biggest mouth in the Bay with the least amount of discretion checked in for a weekend stay too.

So, I do what I have to; I remove her ability to contact anyone, and I tell her what she needs to hear. But keeping her close proves harder than I envisaged. She’s got a serious problem and it’s escalating quickly. Now she’s an added complication to an already dangerous situation. Worse, she’s a temptation that’s adding color in my grey and orderly world. I start making promises I can’t afford to. At the worst possible time, when I’m at my weakest, I let my guard slip and thoughtlessly kiss her. I thought I could handle anything. But nothing in my resume could have prepared me for falling in love. * * This small-town enemies to lovers family romance sits right smack bang on the line between steamy and sweet, features an ex-CIA officer hero reluctantly falling for a talkative heroine, is dipped in intrigue and suspense is laced with action, all blended with a large scoop of humor and a dash of faith.
