When street musician, Chet Walker, receives a cryptic message from a dying man, he plans to honor his promise then cut his losses and head on to his next gig. But as soon as he reaches the picturesque lakeside town of Lucky Shores, he faces hostility and suspicion from the locals, including the intended recipient of the message. Owner of the local diner, Josephine Donoghue, wants nothing more than to bury her past and move on with her life. But when a scruffy looking city slicker brings a message from her late father, her past--and his--catches up with her. After discovering that the message holds the key to the town's biggest mystery and her family's shame, Josie must decide if it's worth opening old wounds, trusting a total stranger, and ultimately worth dying for. Can the country girl and the city boy work together to uncover the truth and earn their redemption before it's too late? Previously published as "On Lucky Shores". What readers say: "On Lucky Shores is the best novel of its genre I have read in the last 10 years. Written in the smooth style I've become accustomed to from this exceptional author. ... I had no choice but to turn page after page, and get annoyed when I had to stop reading to perform some menial day to day physical act, other than to keep on reading." "Everything about the book keeps you wondering, and there are just enough twists in the story to imitate one of the winding switchback roads leading down the Rock Mountains to Lucky Shores." "Kudos to Donovan, and 5 stars at a minimum!" David Wind, author of The Nevaeh series of fantasy novels. "...action-packed adventure ... superb ..."
