Blackmail. Betrayal. Murder. This is not the job Alex remembered.

Although Alex Paige is anxious to get back in the field after a year off for cancer treatment, she's afraid she's forgotten how to be a travel writer. A visit to an idyllic resort seems like an easy way to get her feet wet. Lucky for her, she's put at ease when she meets a fellow survivor.

But that comfort is destroyed when Alex discovers a greedy developer she'd put in jail during her journalism years is buying the resort. Alex knows if he's involved, something must be fishy.

She's quickly proven right when his plans are revealed. But the real threat comes when the evil felon's partner is murdered.

With the help of her irrepressible friend William and a lantern-jawed boat captain, Alex is determined to save the resort and marina. Can she expose the real killer before she becomes the next victim?

Peril on the Peninsula is the first book in the Alex Paige Cozy Travel Mysteries Series. If you love engaging characters, dastardly villains, and a setting that'll have you booking your next adventure, you'll love Theresa L. Carter's debut novel.
