About this series
Carolyn Lambert leaves Las Vegas and her mother's scandalous past behind and moves to the quiet seaside town of Seaville, South Carolina. She accepts a position as a librarian and, except for a noisy neighbor, finds peace and refreshing friendships.
A chance encounter with a street magician throws her a curve ball. What starts as a friendly attraction for the winsome and irresistible Eric Sinclair and his magic tricks turns into a bond Carolyn isn't expecting. She's experienced firsthand her mother's trail of bad choices, and the last thing she wants is a relationship built on pure enchantment alone.
Eric isn't just a street magician but an undercover detective whose job is to expose a drug cartel running their goods through the port of Seaville. The need to maintain his cover creates difficulty as he struggles between allegiance to his career and a deepening affection for the beautiful, charming librarian. But how will Eric's investigation affect Carolyn as she becomes a suspect in part of the drug ring? Will their relationship survive the intense challenges ahead?

Maine lobsterman Shawn MacKay is enraptured by a redheaded mystery woman who sings opera on a deserted stretch of beach by the cliffs of Avondale. Every time he gets close enough to say hello, she runs away. His narrative of the beautiful songbird earns lighthearted banter from patrons of the Malarkey, a local tavern and gathering place for those in his trade. Shawn hopes that one day he will finally meet the young woman who has piqued his curiosity. Colleen O'Malley's lifelong desire has always been to sing opera. When two pre-teen boys tell her about a cave with great acoustics hidden at the base of the cliffs along the beach strand, she enters alone, oblivious to the dangers of rising tides that could trap and kill her. When Shawn decides to walk home by way of the beach strand one evening, he has no idea that his decision will change his life. Forever.

Irene Onorato
Irene Onorato was born and raised in Bronx, New York. Her father, a first-generation American whose parents were born in Italy, was an Army veteran who had served with the 178th combat engineers during WWII. He told numerous stories of battles, hardships, tragedies and triumphs. The glimpses he gave into the hearts of many American warriors would later become the inspiration for much of Irene’s writings. In 1972, a few months after graduating high school, Irene met James Onorato, a soldier who had just returned from Vietnam. After dating two weeks, they married, raised three children, and are still happily married today.
