At 45, Gabby Heart isn’t looking for drama—just quiet days on Dost Island running her village gift shop, teaching art, and keeping her past tucked safely away. But when her mother suffers a sudden health crisis, Gabby is pulled into a storm of family secrets, betrayal, and a dark legacy buried within the walls of the once-grand King Manor. What was supposed to be a safe place for her mother’s recovery becomes the backdrop for a chilling mystery. Strange incidents begin to unfold, and it becomes clear: someone inside King Manor has a deadly agenda. With a hurricane trapping her inside the manor, Gabby must navigate the treacherous waters of deception and danger, working alongside two very different men - her infuriatingly attractive officemate and a charming new neighbor, both harboring their own secrets. One man may want her heart. The other may want her dead. But can she trust her instincts before it's too late? ★ A slow-burn romantic suspense with an edgy cozy mystery twist peppered with humor, Lost Heart in King Manor is perfect for fans of strong women over 40, amateur sleuths, brooding men with buried secrets, and small seaside towns hiding deadly truths. ★ Readers who enjoyed works by A.J.
