Holly Danvers Book Signing Event - Lie in the Bay
A group of neighbors in beautiful Green Bay, Wisconsin, are harboring dangerous secrets that will upend their world.
Jenna and Colton Abrams may seem to lead a charmed life, but they’re barely holding their household together. Since Colton lost his job and Jenna’s hair salon can’t replace his earnings, she decides to make erotic videos and sell them online as Madame Butterfly. Sexy fishing guide Lincoln Jones lives with his girlfriend, Blakely Miller, he can’t forget his former love, Tori Tomkin, whose body was never found after the sailing accident that killed her husband. Meanwhile, Lincoln is obsessed with Madame Butterfly, whose videos he pays to watch; when he glimpses Jenna’s butterfly tattoo, he puts two and two together and decides he wants the real thing. Gabrielle Stevenson doesn’t want to go to the neighborhood booyah party—a Wisconsin tradition—at the Abramses’ house with her realtor husband, Alec, but her accidental discovery of Jenna’s secret sex room and the dog tags Tori always wore sets off a series of dangerous events. Alec’s preoccupation with real estate, particularly the house and lot recently inherited by Dublin Peters, whom he’s trying to force out, turns neighbor against neighbor still further. And a memorial get-together for the Tomkins brings out more disagreements among the neighbors. When will the truth come out? Will its revelation leave anyone unscathed?
Nothing is what it seems in this thriller with a shocking ending.
