Book 1 - Point of the Circle

The year is 1857. The people in the coastal town of Valda Bay are facing ruin due in part to the greed of Mr. Nash, the wealthiest man in town. When he is discovered murdered, Chief Johnson, the local magistrate, delves into the investigation. Everyone is suspect; several have motives and some fear the discovery of their dark secrets that are better left alone. One person, Erik Johansson, the town lighthouse keeper, has nothing to hide; at least, not out in the open. For years, rumors of a lost fortune with a history of violence and disparate owners have surrounded his family. There is much to gain by its discovery and some will do anything to possess it.

Book 2 - RuCutta Vineyards

The year is now 1859. In this sequel to Point of the Circle, readers are catapulted into more suspense filled pages. The author once again introduces you to Joaquin and Rue. In Spain, where family positions and title are almost a form of worship, there are those who will do anything to keep or acquire the persona of perfection. In a twist of fate, old friends unite, enemies are recognized and the pursuit for justice is resurrected. Revenge is only a touch away. All manner of business is on the minds of the characters--how to obtain more without giving away too much, how to cheat and not get caught, and, if caught, how to escape. As greed, secrets and deception prevail, romance hangs in the air like grapes on the vine. However, as in justice, revenge and business, there are those who win and those who lose. How much is won or lost depends on the depth that each person is willing to go.
