title: Love and Murder on Rocky Neck
author: Furtado, Maria Grace
description: Nora Mason, a love-thirsty thirty-two year old, is as insecure as she is attractive. Below her poised surface lies a loner who escapes her hometown secrets and lands on the shores of the rugged New England Artists' Colony of Rocky Neck. Nora is determined to get what she's never had--a perfect beach cottage, a perfect husband, and a perfect life. But while setting her plan into motion, a dangerous encounter threatens her course.
   As the summer season kicks off, Nora is entangled in a shocking murder investigation as she struggles to determine who wants to love her . . . and who wants to eliminate her.
   Christian is a gorgeous and privileged bad boy to whom Nora is instinctively drawn. Evan, a practical, hard-working restaurant owner, exhibits the goodness she wants but seems to lack. While Remy, a sharp-witted and cocktail-adoring import from San Francisco, shakes Nora's belief that no woman can be trusted. Since the age of sixteen, Nora has survived on her own. But will she survive her new life? In this suspenseful and passion-filled tale, will Nora's search finally lead to her dreams . . . or to her nightmares? Sun, sin, romance and murder . . . one summer on Rocky Neck.
