Gilt, Book 2

Following a brutal attack, Emma Southerly finds herself unexpectedly swept away to Palm Springs. However, she cannot outrun trouble, particularly when it has a habit of pursuing her. A mysterious stranger is posting incriminating photographs of the less than upstanding citizens of Belle Mère, but it is unclear whether this is a friendly game or something more sinister. When Jameson West violates his bail and tracks her down, he brings more bad news - Emma has landed on the suspect list. No one knows who killed Nathaniel West, yet now there are two suspects, two investigations, and two people with every reason to turn against one another.

Someone in Belle Mère is a murderer, and this individual is closer to both Emma and Jameson than they could ever imagine. Unless they stick together, they might find themselves falling into a trap instead of falling in love. Because when the cards are dealt, everyone might lose.

Emma cannot escape the web of intrigue that has entangled her life. As she tries to unravel the mystery, she must navigate the treacherous waters of her own past and the present danger that threatens to consume her. Jameson, a man with his own demons, becomes an unlikely ally, and together they embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth.

The more they investigate, the more the lines blur between friend and foe. Trust becomes a rare commodity, and the stakes continue to rise as they draw closer to the heart of the conspiracy. With time running out and the pressure mounting, Emma and Jameson must find a way to overcome their differences and work together if they hope to survive the deadly game that has been set in motion.

As the pieces of the puzzle slowly fall into place, they realize that the murderer is not only close to them but may also hold the key to unlocking the secrets of their own pasts. In a race against the clock, they must confront their deepest fears and uncover the identity of the killer before it's too late. The fate of Belle Mère, and their own lives, hangs in the balance, and the only way to emerge victorious is to put their trust in each other and face the darkness head-on.
