When Lisa Claxton starts her own cleaning business on Paradise Island, she may finally profit from her talent for whipping a house into shape—in more ways than one.

But when she arrives she finds a dead body—and flees right into the safe arms of an irresistibly handsome man. . .
But She's About To Find So Much More. . .

You’ve seen Navy SEALs in action. Now get up-close-and-personal with Brian Knight as he practices his moves on Lisa Claxton!
Dear Reader,
With DEADLY INTENTIONS (May 2011), please help me celebrate my 25th novel! It is the fourth and last title in my series “Quest for the Golden Bowl” and features Lisa Claxton, the least likely heroine, especially if you remember her from Golden Night. I thought it would be interesting to give such a lively and evolving heroine her own story.
The other titles in the series are still available, so look for Island of Deceit, Long Hot Nights, and Golden Night. They are all perfect holiday reads.
I love summer, especially sitting in a lounge chair and reading, so I wish you all a wonderful summer of reading!
Ex-Wall Streeter Barbara Turner wants revenge on the scam artist who swindled her grandmother out of her life savings and then killed her. Posing as a hair stylist, Barbara arrives in Paradise Island, shocked to discover that she’s related to the town matriarch—and that she’s one of the trustees of the family’s antique bowl, which has mysteriously disappeared. Determined to solve these mysteries on her own, Barbara refuses to ask the town’s sheriff for help…
It Could Lead To A Lifetime Of Love.
Unfortunately, Sheriff Harper Porterfield—Paradise Island’s most eligible bachelor—already suspects Barbara of hiding something. But that isn’t the only reason he won’t let the plus-sized beauty out of his sight. He finds her thoroughly irresistible, but her subterfuge could destroy any chance of a happily ever after—especially while there’s still a killer on the loose…
Poarch’s easy writing style, realistic dialog, and ability to weave multiple characters into a complex, gently suspenseful plot that doesn’t shortchange the romance will keep readers engaged, still curious about the missing golden bowl, and anxious for the next book in the series. --Library Journal
