Detective
Murder or tragic accident? When his ex-lover is mauled by a supposedly tame wolf, Micco races to discover how such a thing happened at his animal refuge. Strength in the face of adversity is at the core of Micco’s Seminole upbringing. But is he strong enough to handle Special Agent Chase Becker, his best childhood friend and secret first love? Chase can still twist Micco’s emotions into a knot and draw out secrets he’s desperate to keep buried -- secrets that could get him arrested for murder.
I started this book a few years ago, and then, when I lost my parents, it went by the wayside. Finishing it has been a bittersweet journey. Funny thing: I never anticipated posting it in 2023; it had been meant for publication in 2021. So the timeline of Keeper of the Rituals, the summer of 2023, is appropriate, except for the fact that the hurricane that frames the majority of the story has already had its fifteen minutes of fame. The actual Arlene of 2023 was a short-lived tropical storm that formed in early June and took an unusual southward track over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. It remained offshore and did not directly impact land. The hurricane Arlene in Keeper of the Rituals is far more menacing.
I hope you enjoy the story, and, as always, thanks for reading!
