A second chance to set the record straight, and rekindle a lost love.
Wisconsin, 1931—Buck Wilson refuses to accept failure as his reward for all he has sacrificed, but he’s kept secrets for too long to be believed. With his freedom on the line, there’s only one person he trusts to mine for the true story: the woman he left one month before their wedding.
All investigative journalist Caroline Wagoneer wants is to shine a light on the truth wherever darkness threatens to obscure it. Which is the only reason she agrees to help her ex-fiance when he begs for her to go undercover in Crow’s Nest. What she discovers paints Buck in a whole new light.
With lies and rumor hemming them in, Buck and Caroline realize their love may be doomed on the altar of altruism.
Unless love can truly conquer all.
Welcome to Crow’s Nest, where danger and romance meet at the water’s edge.

How do you decide what the different stories will be for Crow's Nest: what careers the
characters will have, the suspense/mystery thread, and what the relationship hurdles of the
main characters will be?
Investigation of a Journalist is the Harbored in Crow’s Nest series finale. It’s been an amazing journey! And I’m thrilled to be able to share Buck’s story with readers.
Buck first appeared in Book One, Confessions to a Stranger. He was … well, no one could decide if he was actually a bad guy or just not a good one. However, I knew he’d get a chance to tell his story, and the mystery thread wrapped through each of the previous five books hinted at the culmination in Book Six.
One of the hardest questions I faced for Buck’s story was who would star opposite him. Not Adaleigh, the heroine from Book One, thought they had a connection of some kind. What about Mindy, who we also met in Book One? She didn’t fit him and got her story in Book Five. So … who could be the right woman for Buck?
As the series came together, I realized the reason no one in Crow’s Nest worked for Buck was because that’s not where the heroine lived. He’d left her at the alter years ago but had never forgotten about her. Who was this woman? She needed to be a force to be reckoned with, someone who wouldn’t take any flack, and the person who could be the missing piece for the mystery thread that needed a conclusion.
Enter Investigative Journalist Caroline Wagoneer, Buck’s ex-fiancee.
I've included various medical conditions throughout the Harbored in Crow’s Nest series. It’s been fascinating to research how these conditions were diagnosed, viewed, and/or treated in the 1930s. It wasn’t part of my original plan to have one in each book, but it worked. Nor did I plan to have a medical condition in Buck’s story. However, one emerged, perfectly fitting the broken relationship between the hero and heroine.
A second chance romance means one or both characters suffer from a broken heart. There is such a thing called "Broken Heart Syndrome" or stress-induced cardiomyopathy. While it commonly affects widows after the death of their spouse, it can affect men, especially after extreme emotional and/or physical stress. This syndrome is often mistaken for a heart attack since the symptoms are similar. However, while it can be fatal, the cause is not due to heart damage or blocked arteries, and the heart can recover with rest.
So, which character experiences a literal and physical broken heart? And how does it affect the investigation and the romance? I hope you’ll read Buck and Caroline’s story to find out!
