Grafted Into Deceit — Sherri Wilson Johnson

Answers are hard to find when there's no one to trust. Disappearing business funds and a missing dead body have Marina Acres doubting everyone -- including the detective whose case can't be solved without her help. When Marina Acres launches an investigation to find her company's missing money, she becomes a killer's target and uncovers a tangled vine of deception in the process. Detective Steven Pennington, who suspects drugs are at the root of the problem, must keep Marina safe from the killer while keeping himself from falling for yet another victim. Marina refuses to believe that her business partner could be part of a drug trafficking ring, but when evidence points its finger at her, she must join the fight with Steven to weed out the killer.
