Synopsis:
From USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble comes the third book in her beloved Lavender Tides series.
Her mother lied about her identity and her husband wasn’t who she thought he was—can Bailey even trust herself anymore?
Running for her life in the wake of her mother’s murder, Bailey Fleming escapes to the only place she can think of—a remote, dilapidated cabin in Lavender Tides. Intending to finally get to the truth behind the lies of her past, Bailey only finds more questions when bodies are discovered near her cabin hideout along with traces of a dangerous human trafficking ring. In an unlikely partnership with FBI agent Lance Phoenix, Bailey races to understand the mystery surrounding her life and circumstances before the murderer tracks her down.
Meanwhile, Lance is determined to rescue his sister, Ava, who was abducted after running away from home as a teenager. An unexpected lead brings him to the remote cabin, and he wonders if Bailey—with her suspicious past and strange connections to his sister’s case—is really who she claims to be and if she can somehow lead him to Ava.
Filled with Colleen Coble’s custom blend of suspense and romance, Secrets at Cedar Cabin takes us back to the evocative landscape of Washington’s coast where nothing is quite as it seems.

Review:
Secrets at Cedar Cabin by Colleen Coble is the third novel in this entertaining series. A romantic suspense book, that keeps me guessing the whole way. Murder, mystery, danger, and most of all a budding romance to hold me prisoner. I was completely hooked with this plot. It had this emotional pull that I could not walk away from. The story was about a family separated by dangerous men and a woman who got caught up in the storm. Both main protagonists worked well together. They made the book come alive. Their personalities and problems made them more three-dimensional. Fear, anger, loss, and hope were some of the major themes explored here. But human trafficking and justice were the top two themes. FBI agent Lance lost his sister and has been looking for her ever since. Clues have led him to Bailey and her cabin. From there, their journey begins. A cat and mouse game that proved more deadly than originally thought. Overall, I recommend this novel to all readers. It held a clean vide but still had all the interesting elements to make it interesting.
