A tropical paradise turns deadly.Service dog trainer Marcia Banks had thought it was the perfect arrangement-stay on her client's private Gulf-coast island and get the human phase of the training done more quickly, while enjoying a much-needed break from the chaos of house renovations back home.This certainly wasn't the tranquil getaway she'd envisioned, however. Two resident ghosts, a sour-puss housekeeper and bearing witness to her client's shaky marriage are bad enough. But within days, she's discovered even deeper and darker layers of dysfunction.Via emails and static-filled phone calls, fiancé Will Haines convinces her to get herself and her dog Buddy out of there, but before Marcia can accomplish this, a late-season hurricane abruptly changes course and strands them on the island... with a murderer.

A Halloween romp with a seriously scary twist!Her adopted town is once again driving service dog trainer Marcia Banks a little nuts. No sooner has she moved her horse into the new Mayfair Riding Stable than its octogenarian, muumuu-wearing owner decides to turn the barn into a haunted house for Halloween. Meanwhile, an anonymous prankster is haunting Mayfair, disrupting its small-town tranquility, and the local postmistress has a strange request for Marcia. All this, along with her new role of godmother to adorable twins, is a bit overwhelming.But it's nothing compared to what's coming. As Halloween approaches, the evil lurking in the shadows will threaten what is most precious to Marcia and her beloved town.

A Christmas extravaganza in Mayfair, Florida, complete with an ice skating rink. What could go wrong?When Mayfair's newly-minted Chamber of Commerce goes off the rails and decides to build an ice skating rink, a decades-old skeleton is uncovered. The secrets it reveals threaten more than the town's Christmas plans. Feeling responsible since the let's-attract-more-tourists idea was hers initially, service dog trainer Marcia Banks is determined to help her police detective boyfriend solve the mystery-whether he wants her help or not. Maybe she can wheedle more out of the townspeople than he can.Will she and her Black Lab, Buddy, keep the ghost of Christmas past from destroying what is left of Mayfair's founding family, or will her meddling make things worse?

Nothing about her new client is what service dog trainer Marcia Banks expected-from the posh house that says family money to his paranoid preoccupation with his sister's love life-but when he dangles a thousand-dollar retainer under her nose, she can't resist playing private detective.In between training sessions, Marcia digs into the sister's boyfriend's sketchy past. But the deeper she digs, the more questions arise. How is a disastrous fraternity party five years ago linked to blackmail, prostitutes, and murder today? And who's driving the black SUV that keeps trying to turn Marcia and her dog Buddy into roadkill?She can't let it go, not when there are innocents at risk who are depending on her to find the truth. But the deepest, darkest truth is the one she wishes she never uncovered.
