Guilty until proven innocent. Miranda Wood has been having an affair with her boss. She's determined to break it off with him - but he's equally determined to keep her. When he calls and tells her that he's coming over, Miranda flees her house, desperate not to see him. She comes back to a dark, cold cottage - and a dead man lying in her bedroom. Miranda is the obvious suspect, and she looks even guiltier when her bail is paid by an anonymous donor.
Chase Tremain just wants to find out who killed his brother - but as a series of attacks on Miranda take place, he is also drawn to protect her. They join forces to investigate the story that Richard was working on at the time of his death and discover a corruption scandal looming over a new development on the island. Although Miranda and Chase trace the money at the heart of this scandal back to Richard's father-in-law and wife, it becomes clear that someone else wants to kill Miranda - someone with a much more personal reason for wanting her out of the way...

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
