A new series is unfolding from the much loved author Fern Michaels she introduces the little town of Smuggler’s Cove, quietly located on the bank of the Navesink River, just a ferry trip from the hustle and bustle of New Jersey.
Smugglers Cove has a fascinating history as it was the known haunt of pirates. It was also considered as a safe haven for the Dutch traders in the 1600’s before notoriety set in with pirates who operated in the area deliberately causing shipwrecks.
The most notorious of all was Captain William Kidd, whom legend has it, buried much of his stolen treasure somewhere along the shore; treasure hunters have been searching for it ever since!
When Madison Tylor and her brother Lincoln inherit a dilapidated marina from their Uncle they are in turns excited and horrified, but soon come to the conclusion that perhaps this is a gift which, while unexpected could be something they need to understand, in order to be able to give back to a community who rely heavily on the income derived from a place much beloved by their uncle.
Both Madison and Lincoln have had to rebuild their lives from a very young age, becoming successful in their chosen fields. Even though Madison has to come out from behind the wall she has established, Lincoln and Olivia, his wife and long-time friend of Madison find this legacy a breath of fresh air.
As always in their lives when things are looking almost too good to be true, an old map of the area on display in the refurbished marina is stolen, which looks like the work of a notorious treasure hunting gang operating in the area.
Where this will lead them, they have no idea, but they are determined that they will not back away for the challenge. Perhaps it is exactly what they need.
Fern Michael spends considerable time in forming her characters in Smugglers Cove, as she details them individually before bringing all the strands together to build a captivating story based on wealth, theft, destruction, rebirth and change which is also full of the very essence that creates a good story; survival and intrigue.
The Twin Light Series is set to become a great read when you want a little light relaxation set in the intriguing area of Smuggler’s Cove.
