Island Charms

By Sharon McGregor

When Abby receives a plea for help from her old college friend Nikki, she's inclined to ignore it. Nikki was always a drama queen and besides, how much danger can she be in as she spends her time surrounded by a circle of her 'nearest and dearest.'

But then Abby finds that's exactly who Nikki is frightened of. She's convinced someone is trying to kill her.

Abby has reasons of her own to get away and soon she's off to a remote private island on Lake of the Woods. Undercurrents abound in the family circle and soon Abby realizes her friend isn't being fanciful. The danger is real and now it's headed straight for her.
