Joining forces with Moss has the unexpected side effect of giving Chelsea a warm, clean bed to sleep on, with a solid, protective body beside her. A less pleasant side effect is the arrival of the crime boss’s goons, hell-bent on ending Moss—and now Chelsea, too, due to her association with him.

The house is like something out of a nightmare, crawling with gargoyles and grotesques. The nearest neighbor to the isolated house, depending on who you talk to, is a spa -- or a mental asylum.But it's not all bad. The interior of the house, thankfully, doesn't match the outside. Not one but two local men actively pursue Joyce -- more attention than she garnered in Chicago. And not having to work for a living is a dream come true.Things would be great, if it weren't for the odd occurrences in the house, and the changes on its outside that make Joyce wonder whether her imagination is too vivid or if she's losing her mind. Will Joyce realize that when something seems too good to be true, it usually is? Because the house has a horrifying secret, and there was a special -- and sinister -- reason Joyce was lured there.

It doesn’t help that the local sheriff seems unwilling to be helpful. In fact, the only person in Wicker that seems interested in finding the murderer is the guy who owns and runs the local bar. At least Thane Bostick doesn’t tell her to leave five seconds after she introduces herself. Thane is smart and sexy in ways that defy explanation. But Belle isn’t in Wicker to find a man. She’s here to choose. Homicide, Suicide, or Death by Misadventure. Cat’s Cradle Natalie Arrington is just a painter. That’s it.

As Franny and John are drawn together and sucked into the seedy underbelly of Wicker’s illicit drug trade, they learn to depend on each other for a much needed reality check. Franny might be younger, but she’s not silly. And John is the only one in the world who seems to believe her. Sometimes the love and support of one man can be enough to turn things completely upside down.

If she sticks around long enough the killer is likely to make her his next victim. But Mattie is no shrinking violet.
