Imogen Bell publicizes what Peter Bishop's team of underwater archaeologists uncover, but she's about to dive into her own treasure hunt - only this one will test more than her knowledge of shipwrecks. With five clues and the legend of a pirate captain's hidden jewel to lead the way, it's up to Imogen to prove her murdered colleague did not die in vain, and crack open a centuries old mystery.

What they're saying about it:

"The main characters in Dead Locked are engaging and likable. I really enjoyed how the past interplayed with the present and how they were woven together. I love that it was set near the ocean and how that created the backdrop for the story.

But for me, more than plot, I'm all about characters and the chemistry they create. And there's definitely chemistry between Imogen and Sebastian. They have tension and energy that drive the story forward. Always looked forward to seeing them interact! It's a fun story that's easy to read. I agree with the other reader too, that you should read the "Bast and Immie" short story too! Gives a little background on the two of them- though not neccessary for understanding Dead Locked."--Amazon Reviewer

Philippa's barn burning down seemed like any other accident; except for whisperings that a legend had risen from the ashes to light fires again. While her husband evades questions and takes off mysteriously, a masked man stalks her, claiming he has answers. The more he reveals, the more tangled her world becomes. Why has he chosen to tell her all he knows? And is he a friend - or foe?

What they're saying about it:

"I really enjoyed this story- an interesting setting, well-developed characters, and intrigue! My favorite parts are when Philippa and Edric banter- he teases her, she fires back -they have good chemistry and crackle when they're together.

"Jester's" is a mystery set in medieval England, but has a modern flavor that keeps the setting from being too heavy. The descriptions of the surroundings really put you there.
