Sealed with A Kiss

After a rough past, Professor Laura Marie Keaton now has the perfect life. The perfect house along the lakeshore. The perfect job at Capstone University. The perfect boyfriend who she knows is the one. The only thing she doesn’t have? The perfect alibi. When a serial killer emerges in Crimson Shores, leaving behind only a card with a number, a kiss, and the name Margaret on it, Laura’s life begins to crumble yet again. She believes she’s the hunted. But as the victim count rises, Detective Randy Kojak believes she’s the hunter.

For weeks, The Margaret Killer terrorized Crimson Shores, claiming the lives of seven people. Suspect number one is Laura Keaton. She looks the part. She has a connection with each victim and can’t provide a credible alibi. Evidence for each death was found in her home. And then Detective Kojak discovered her birth name: Louisa Margaret. Now arrested and facing trial, Laura maintains her innocence. But while in prison, The Margaret Killer disappears. Coincidence? The prosecution doesn’t think so. They use that fact, along with the rest of the evidence to prove Laura’s guilt.

With Laura gone and the devastation of The Margaret Killer behind her, Cassie Seaver returns home to Bennington Hills for a fresh start. She updates her style with a new look. She gets a new job and rents a new apartment. When a man comes to her rescue, she even finds a new love interest. With life returning to normal, she is beginning to believe she can finally move on from her past. But Cassie isn’t the only one who has returned to Bennington Hills. As dead bodies start showing up, Cassie’s worst fears have come true.

Cassie Seaver barely manages to escape The Margaret Killer only to fall into the hands of someone more dangerous. Beaten unconscious, she awakes with no recollection of who she is or what is going on. All she knows is she is in a dark place, alone, and in pain. Meanwhile, Detectives Mitchell and McKellar fight tirelessly to find her. Fortunately for them, two people from Cassie’s past show up in Bennington Hills wanting to do the same. The only problem is, they don’t always see eye to eye.
