Shadow of Deceit

by Susan Sleeman

Overview

When returning to her past threatens her life and a murder occurs...

When Mia Blackburn returns to Shadow Lake to inherit her uncle's property, she doesn't expect a threatening warning before she even reaches the rustic resort. And when a fire traps her in the burning barn that very day, she fears she won't get out alive. Just in time, Ryan Maddox, her ex-boyfriend and Shadow Lake Survival owner, rescues her from the deadly blaze. She's thankful for his rescue, but after their tumultuous breakup, he's the last person she wants to see.

Will she be the next victim?

Despite the threatening warning and her residual feelings for Ryan, Mia won't let anyone scare her from the rustic resort before she fulfills the terms of her uncle's will and inherits the property. Ryan insists on keeping a close eye on her, and soon Mia feels safer and closer to Ryan than ever before. Yet the threats haven't stopped, and soon Mia's inheritance includes a murder, and she could be the next victim.

Previously published as High-Stakes Inheritance but completely revised and new chapters, plot twists, and new series characters added.
