TEAR DOWN AND DIE: Book #1 -- After her parents die within six months of each other and her son goes off to college, Cara Mia Delgatto realizes she's ripe for a second chance at life. A roadtrip takes her to Stuart, Florida, where she impulsively buys an empty building...only to discover it's occupied with a fresh corpse. Now Cara's suspect #1 and she might wind up behind bars! Are her dreams of opening The Treasure Chest, a store specializing in upcycled, recycled, and repurposed goods gone with the wind?

KICKED TO THE CURB: Book #2 -- The Treasure Chest hosts a public relations event that ends badly when hot-tempered Cara gets into a quarrel with a pushy reporter. And then that reporter is found dead in the trunk of her car parked behind Cara's store. But Cara's no quitter. She's going to figure out what the reporter was REALLY after--and why it is connected to the infamous Dozier Boys' School crimes that plagued Florida for more than a century.

ALL WASHED UP: Book #3 -- Cara is enjoying a sunrise walk on the beach when she spots a mermaid made out of sand--and then the mermaid groans. This isn't a fairy tale--no, it's more like a nightmare as Cara learns she's stumbled into a plot to smuggle desperate undocumented immigrants into the country. And then...things take a turn for the worse. Now Cara is forced to stand aside and while her son risks his life. Has Cara trusted the wrong people to keep her child safe?
