The Red Leaves of Autumn

When Stella Stevenson and her husband escape their strenuous, competitive life for the quiet, peace of a barrier island near Charleston, South Carolina, their expectations for peace, tranquility, reclaimed sanity and romance are replaced with doubt and disbelief by her discovery on the beach. One reviewer wrote, "The author is a descriptive and entertaining storyteller who leads you on with mystery and intrigue. Her portrayal of characters brings them to life in a way that I felt I actually knew some of them. I found myself adding places and restaurants to my bucket list. Looking forward to her next book." Autumn had always been the time of year for Stella and Walker Stevenson to begin anew. After the discovery, Stella strives to maintain her southern charm and relish in the beauty of Fripp Island, but attempts to return to normalcy fail. Stella is unaware that she has stumbled into a deadly east coast drug smuggling syndicate and is on the verge of exposing their operations. Criminals believed to be locals lurk about the island and threaten her inner family circle. Stella can no longer turn a blind-eye to the feeling that she is now being hunted nor can she ignore the mysterious events that happen one after another. Kenan Gray, heir to a multi-million-dollar fortune in Virginia, appears from nowhere and becomes romantically entangled with Stella's daughter, Kate. Skepticism rises as Stella finds evidence that could connect him to a loathsome island woman.Walker is adamant that paranoia has taken his wife captive and dismisses her suspicions. If she continues her attempts to sort through the strange events that continue to happen her marriage is at stake; if she doesn't their lives will be.In The Red Leaves of Autumn the changing of seasons brings the promise of new beginnings for some and mystery and mayhem for others as a unique cast of characters struggles to unravel the mysteries on this low country coastal island.
