After being the only witness to a socialite’s death, Aurora Murphy’s quiet life as a department store clerk turns into a far more deadly one. When someone breaks into her apartment and leaves a horrifying threat, Aurora goes to the one and only person she can trust– her coworker, Leo. Can she get to safety before they both become victims?

Leo Greene doesn’t usually stir up trouble. As department store security, he’s the one who puts an end to any mishaps. But when Leo’s coworker comes to him begging for protection, he realizes she brings more trouble than he ever imagined. They board a locomotive to escape the danger, but as the train chugs along, Leo must stay one step ahead or risk losing the audacious young woman he has come to care for.

When Roseanne Whitmore goes to South Point Lighthouse to sort her late uncle’s belongings, she expects solitude and closure. Instead, she finds cryptic journal entries and a ledger hinting at dark dealings long buried beneath Lake Erie’s restless waves.

Desperate for answers, Roseanne writes to Jesse Alridge, the dockmaster and keeper’s assistant who lives nearby. As letters pass between them, a fragile trust forms amid shadowed mysteries and the storm that refuses to die down.

But the shores hold more secrets than anyone on the island, and the truth is not so easily discovered. Can Roseanne catch her Uncle’s murderer before he closes in for a final strike?

A sweet short story of the 1950’s.
