A dead ex-husband...When Sunny Charles opens her aunt’s café on a sunny Monday morning in small-town Parfait, Florida, she’s looking forward to a day of challenging work cooking and serving customers. The last thing she expects is to find her ex-husband lying dead on the floor, right between the coffee bar and the cake stand.

And the murderer, shrouded in darkness, mid-escape....

As soon as she’s able, she leaves Laurel Point, Oregon, running from her past and her fate, ending up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
