The secrets of the past haunt the present... Cape Trouble, a tiny Oregon coast town was named for the dangerous off-shore reefs. But some of its citizens seek refuge from their own troubles...which have a way of following them. Sophie Thomsen's life had a Before and an After - before the terrifying morning when she found her mother dead in the foggy sand dunes, apparently having killed herself. Now, twenty years later, she returns to Cape Trouble, only to find her aunt brutally murdered. Sophie takes over her aunt's crusade to save the falling-down Misty Beach Resort and its old-growth forest and wild sand dunes and beach from development - even though she never wants to set foot again on Misty Beach. But Sophie's memories threaten a killer...who doesn't dare let her remember too much. Having come to Cape Trouble to heal his own wounds, Police Chief Daniel Colburn investigates the present-day murder, but begins to suspect Sophie's mother was another murder victim, not a suicide. Everything he learns increases his fear for this woman he is coming to love. Sophie's fate may be to die in a shroud of fog, just like her mother before her, unless she trusts Daniel to help her uncover her past in time.

But some of its citizens seek refuge from their own troubles…which have a way of following them.

Naomi’s instincts scream, Run, but too late, because Adam isn’t about to let her go. Not when he has begun to believe she is a victim and not a killer.
