The Next Victim — Margery Scott
An ambitious reporter
Shannon Ames is determined to get out of Vista Verde, Florida, as soon as possible and make her name as a serious investigative journalist instead of covering flower shows and church suppers.
A burned-out detective
Vista Verde's new police chief, Ben Carver, has come to this sleepy beach community to escape the violence in the big city and to deal with the guilt that plagues him. Surely the worst crimes he'll have to deal with here are shoplifting and failure to obey the ‘no littering' signs.
The crime of the decade
Vista Verde's first murder in years cause Ben and Shannon to clash until another body is discovered and Ben's investigation shows that Shannon has connections to both victims. And when clues point to Shannon becoming the killer's next target, Ben has no choice but to keep her close to him.
The chemistry between Shannon and Ben can't be denied, and spending days â€" and nights â€" together, tests their willpower to the limit. As the threats against Shannon escalate, so does their attraction, but the secret Shannon carries could destroy any hope of a future together - and might even get her killed.
