Skelm Island, Maine has always been known for two things: lobsters and its broken lighthouse.But when corpses start showing up in the water, the isolated town becomes the face of a cryptic investigation.At the heart of which stands Lincoln Porter, a grumpy ex-SEAL whose lobstering business seems to attract more dead bodies than fish.When homicide expert Detective Sloane is called in to assist with the case, she begins digging up skeletons; ones that Lincoln would rather stay buried.Forced to work together, Sloane's suspicious attitude and optimistic demeanor grate on the lobsterman's nerves, resulting in a rivalry that's as addicting as it is volatile.But as everything unravels and they have no one else to trust, Lincoln and Sloane must depend on each other to figure out what secrets should be brought to light......and which secrets should stay hidden.********Be Still My Heart is a full-length, complete standalone featuring mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Reader discretion is advised.*

"This book promised everything I wanted. A spicy murder mystery? Like does it really get any better? But after finishing the book, it really could have been. <br/>The premise was there, but the execution wasn’t. <br/>The story is told from two points of view (Lincoln and Morgan) but the dialogue and speech patterns didn’t really change between the two. You’d think a man from a small island town who grew up into a lobstering business would have a very different way of speaking than a female detective from the city. <br/>The story was good, the spice was good, but it felt like the same narrator was telling the whole story while it was supposed to be first person point of views."
