She had been abandoned as a baby and now she was doing the abandoning. That house and family she left behind. Her guardian had died suddenly. It was grief that drove her away as a teen. At least that's what she told anyone who would ask. However, that wasn't the reason. She kept a secret locked up inside her never to resurface. Only one other person knew and she was going to keep it that way. Katrina told herself she would never return to that house, but after an intriguing phone call from the lawyer handling her guardian's estate she found herself facing her past and her fear. "No big deal" Katrina tells herself, she could handle anything. She didn't expect this small town lawyer to be a handsome, sea-eyed charmer with suspicion in his every action. Katrina ignores his strange ways until a phone call comes late one night and leaves her without a word. "Her body was found" Katrina's confidant says. That's impossible. It couldn't be "her body." Would her gruesome secret be revealed? What would keep her afloat? Could her salvation be the handsome so-called lawyer?

It’s an ordinary afternoon in Summer Breeze, Florida, when a young, wide-eyed girl steps into I Saw It First, the trash-to-treasure shop Christy Castleman and her Aunt Bobbie have opened. Clutching a jewelry box, Zeffie Adams tells Christy she needs money to pay her grandmother’s medical bills, prompting Christy to offer this curious visitor more than the jewelry box is worth–or so she thinks. But complicated questions form when Christy rips out the box’s lining and uncovers a clue to a cold case murder mystery from eight years ago. Despite warnings from her family and handsome boyfriend Dan Brockman, Christy decides to do a little detective work of her own. After all, the infamous murder happened close to her grandmother’s farm. How risky could it be to take the jewelry box back to the Strickland plantation and ask around about it? Soon Christy finds there is more to the small box than someone wants her to know. A jewelry theft. A mansion murder. Dangerous family secrets buried in history. Can Christy convince others to let go of the past before it’s too late?

Lydia Martin begins her fifth year as an assistant professor of political science at Patrick Henry University with every reason to think she will be granted tenure. She has met her department's publication standards and has avoided offending any of her senior colleagues. She has also shunned much of a personal life, which only strengthens her suit, or so she thinks. It is with disbelief, therefore, that Lydia learns that a colleague with a scholarly record almost identical to her own has been denied tenure. The standards have been raised; one book is no longer enough! Suddenly Lydia finds herself with less than a year to begin and complete a new research project. In her scramble for ideas she discovers a local animal rights group and sets about dissecting the organization as a case study in political extremism. But when she meets Charlie, a former group member, her research methods lose their objectivity. Only after they are lovers does she realize how much a boon to her project the study of him in particular would be. Lydia's temptation to use Charlie for her own gain sets into motion a sequence of events that places her in the same situation she has so often blithely put others. What will she do when she discovers that her new project's success demands she expose something essential of herself?

When Liz Steele was in the sixth grade, her daydreams were about a romantic Prince Charming. A jarring awakening to the world of sexual needs happened when she was 15. Working after school as a file clerk, her boss asked for sexual favors. She was able to rebuff him, but she continued to seek Prince Charming. At age 21 she moved to San Francisco. There, she met E.B. Braun, who had left Minnesota. In high school a car ride ended up out in the country with Karl getting rough and insistent, but E.B. was able to get away. At age 18 she had an unrequited crush on her college professor, so she decided to move far away…to San Francisco. The two girls, Liz Steele and E.B. Braun, became good friends. They had successfully resisted the advances from cads, curs and cool cats. Now each girl launched a search for the right guy – motive: a more mature (read that as “sexual”) relationship. They meet David, a lawyer; Jack, social worker; Lance, used-car salesman; Wayne, radio sound-mixer. They meet Clark, who spent his Oklahoma childhood as a tomato-picker, but after his Army stint he opened a bar in San Francisco. They meet Lee, caught between gunfire in Macao, his father sent him from Hong Kong to San Francisco for a college education. The two girls had no idea that during their adventures, they would observe the effects that unprotected sex, racial prejudice, alcoholism, prostitution, violence and death would have upon their lives.
