Miss Poppy Bridgerton is visiting a cousin at the coast when she stumbles upon a strange cave, which happens to be full of smugglers’ goods.

TITLES ARE HARD TO THINK OF! This is book three in a trilogy about Detective Jennifer Knight. She’s a detective for Operation Moonlight, and they investigate any crime that might have a supernatural element.

Joe’s wife Caroline taught the little girl in dance class for years, so she’s nearly part of the family. As soon as they hear about the kidnapping, Caroline makes them go over to the couple’s neighborhood and look […]
