Shadow Point - Softcover

It wasn&;t easy getting to Shadow Point. Turns out it&;s even harder to leave.
Madison McPeake, not in the best mood most of the time, has just been not-quite fired, told her brother is dead, discovered she&;s responsible for a five-year old niece she&;s never met and realized she has to go all the way to San Diego to see to her brother's affairs.

Isolated from the world by geography and a navy base bristling with security, Shadow Point is scarcely habitable—at least Madison thinks so. Coping with the living conditions while getting to know her niece is a daily challenge. Things gets easier when the next-door neighbor, Dr. Alice Piper, seems as eager to share smoldering glances as Madison is. But something&;s not right and Madison&;s questions about her brother&;s death go unanswered.

Madison&;s not sure if unnerving events are actually subtle warnings to stop her inquiries. The sexy, alluring Pipe doesn&;t seem to think anything&;s amiss, which only compounds Madison&;s fears. And every time she makes up her mind to pack up her niece and go, it's as if someone—or something—has decided she should stay.

Debut writer Amy Briant has crafted a heroine with more vices than graces in Madison McPeake, who narrates the mystery and passion—and hair-raising surprises— of Shadow Point.
