Blood Under the Oaks

Tressa Harrison, a timid social worker, has always seen the best in people. After a robbery rocks her sense of security, she quits her job and moves to suburbia. She loves her cozy new neighborhood but things aren't always what they seem. Her plans to devote time to settling into her home and volunteering are upended when her friend Laura Mills is murdered and Tressa is named as a person of interest.

Claire Taylor is a prim street-smart woman. Her nephew is accused of murdering a drug dealer. She's certain he's innocent and will risk everything to prove it.

After a chance meeting, Claire suspects Tressa has the key to both murders, even though Tressa doesn't know it. They quickly realize that they must work together to protect themselves and their families from a murderer. 

Amid the chaos, Tressa and Claire meet Jake Batiste, a handsome veteran who falls into the chaos despite warnings from his therapist that he should avoid drama.

A delightful read that will keep readers engaged.
