BOOK 1: Waves of Deception

Samantha Rite is in desperate need of a vacation. Her life is shattered when after 21 years of marriage, her husband walks out on her, leaving her for another woman.

As Sam is trying to pick up the pieces and start over, her family decides now would be the perfect time for her to take a relaxing vacation.

Before she can change her mind, she and her older sister are booked on a week-long Caribbean cruise. Just days before the trip, her sister is involved in a horrible accident and is unable to go.

Persuaded to take this trip alone, Sam finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly adventure of a lifetime. Will she make it out alive?


BOOK 2: Winds of Deception

Since returning home recently from her never-to-be-forgotten cruise vacation, Samantha Rite has been busy trying to catch up at work and settle back into her normal day-to-day routine.

Little does she know her simple and quiet life is about to be thrown into turmoil as she has unknowingly become a pawn in a deadly game of deception.

As she desperately struggles to make sense of it all, she soon realizes that someone she loves more than life itself is now in danger as well.

Determined to do whatever is necessary to protect her loved ones, she vows to move heaven and earth to make sure they're safe!

Will Sam be able to weather the storm that's brewing on the horizon?


BOOK 3: Tides of Deception

Samantha Rite is about to embark on a life-changing journey when she and her daughter decide to move 1200 miles away from all that she's ever known to be with Lee, the love of her life.

Just hours before the big move, with the moving truck packed and ready to hit the road, Lee and his best friend Donovan mysteriously disappear.

Determined to find them, Sam enlists the help of her sister, and begins the long, perilous move to Florida. Once again, Sam finds herself frantically racing against time to save the one she loves.

She soon discovers, however, the search has put her own life and the lives of others in danger.

With an ocean of obstacles ahead of her, will she be able to keep her head above water or will the tides of deception prove to be too much?

    I so enjoyed reading these. Hope Callaghan has lots of great books that are equally exciting and clean. Hoping she's still writing new books because I'm afraid I'll run out of her books to read. Hope is a great author. Thankful for great Christian mysteries.

    Hope has again created very likable characters for this new series. Two states and two countries spread out the action. There's lots and lots of that. Romance is, of course on the menu, in fact, several at once; but first comes the main course of murder and mayhem.
