Explosion on the Sound (On the Sound Book One)

When a middle school teacher turned amateur sleuth meets a rule-bound detective, there's bound to be a roller coaster of action and tension that will keep mystery lovers guessing.

A deafening explosion rips through a coastal Puget Sound city, sending shockwaves of terror through the community. Teacher MJ Brooks narrowly escapes the fiery blast, a fact that fills her with gratitude, until she learns that her friend and mentor wasn't so lucky. His death ignites a fire to uncover the truth and seek the justice he deserves.

Enter Detective Jefferson Hughes: a by-the-book investigator who'd rather eat his badge than work with a civilian. But when MJ unearths the only lead in a case that's got the city on edge, Hughes finds himself trapped between protocol and progress.

As the unlikely duo delves deeper into the mystery, tension sizzles—and not just from the looming threat. MJ's fierce determination clashes with Hughes' steely resolve, creating a chemistry they'd both rather ignore. But with a killer plotting to bring more pain and death to the sound, they'll need each other to unravel the lies.

In a race against time, MJ and Hughes must learn to trust each other's instincts. Because in West Sound, secrets kill—and the next target could be closer than they think.

Will they crack the case before the body count rises? Will their budding connection become another casualty in a deadly game?
