Sizzling Summer Read

May 31, 2015 By JPMcLean 6 Comments

Penance Book CoverWindStorm Press has released Penance (now titled Lethal Waters) just in time for a sizzling summer read. So go ahead—put the wine on ice, frost the beer glasses, or chill the iced tea and settle in for an exhilarating ride. This time Emelynn Taylor has two partners, one a detective, the other her lover. Both will prove pivotal as she serves her penance for shedding light on a secret that’s been kept safe in the dark for hundreds of years. Emelynn is playing a deadly game in Lethal Waters . . .

—Giselle Roeder, Author of We Don’t Talk About That, calls Lethal Waters An exciting journey.
—Annie Siegel, lyrasist, says Lethal Waters is Fun, exciting and addictive.

A body in the water. A vast ocean. A killer on the loose. 

In the midst of a bloody rebellion, Emelynn Taylor exposes her gift of flight to save a man’s life. Now International Covert Operations knows her secret. The powerful organization is willing to cover up the carnage and protect her secret—in exchange for her services.

Her first assignment, a drug case in the coastal city of Vancouver, soon reveals a grisly murder that implicates one of her own kind.

Stalked by the ancient Tribunal Novem and vilified by a distrustful team of detectives, Emelynn takes on a perilous undercover role embedded in a drug ring where anyone could be the murderer.

Intrigue and danger lurk in the cold Pacific, challenging Emelynn’s unique gift and pitting her loyalties against her honour. And her choice is guaranteed to hurt someone.

The fourth book in The Gift Legacy series, Lethal Waters is a thriller that skirts the edges of reality in a world within our own. Don your life jacket and escape the ordinary: take flight with Emelynn Taylor.

Lethal Waters is a dark supernatural thriller, perfect for fans of JR Ward, Deborah Harkness, Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, and Keri Arthur. A Sizzling Summer read.
