St Medard”s Bay, Alabama is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the century-old Rosalie Inn that has survived every one, and Lo Bailey, the local girl accused of murdering her lover in 1984.
When hotel owner Geneva hears a true crime writer is in town to research the Landon Fitzroy case, she”s less interested in solving a whodunnit than the business it could bring the Rosalie Inn. But August Fletcher doesn”t come alone: with him is none other than Lo Bailey herself, returned to her hometown to clear her name once and for all.
But the closer Geneva gets to Lo and August, the more she wonders if Lo is actually back to settle old scores. As another monster storm approaches, she learns that people can be just as destructive as any hurricane- and that the truth about what happened to Landon is not the only secret Lo is keeping…

Primary cover copy:
St. Medard”s Bay, Alabama is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the Rosalie Inn, a century-old hotel that”s survived every one of those storms, and Lo Bailey, the local girl infamously accused of the murder of her lover, political scion Landon Fitzroy, during Hurricane Marie in 1984.
When Geneva Corliss, the current owner of the Rosalie Inn, hears a writer is coming to town to research the crime that put St. Medard”s Bay on the map, she”s less interested in solving a whodunnit than in how a successful true crime book might help the struggling inn”s bottom line. But to her surprise, August Fletcher doesn”t come to St. Medard”s Bay alone. With him is none other than Lo Bailey herself. Lo says she”s returned to her hometown to clear her name once and for all, but the closer Geneva gets to both Lo and August, the more she wonders if Lo is actually back to settle old scores.
As the summer heats up and another monster storm begins twisting its way towards St. Medard”s Bay, Geneva learns that some people can be just as destructive-and as deadly-as any hurricane, and that the truth of what happened to Landon Fitzroy may not be the only secret Lo is keeping.
