Although I thought the author did a good job of telling this story, the story line just didn't "click" for me. I was a little disturbed to even think that people could be drawn into a cult to such a degree that they lose all identity and blindly follow a emotionally disturbed leader. I was encouraged by the surprises at the end though.

K.C. Flynn runs the weekly 'Pelican Journal' in a small town called Pelican Bay. She is alerted to the fact that her Aunt Theo Whimple seems to have disappeared. So K.C. sets out to find her and must get the help of the Sheriff Elliot Gavin, a man she hasn't seen since they broke off their engagement 3 years ago.

This search will lead them to Angels Crest Vineyards, an elegant winery that is a cover for a growing cult. The leader of this cult will do his best to keep these two from ruining his plan to kill off his followers and take their money and run. It is a deadly web of danger and deceit, but through it all it will cause K.C. and Gavin to talk and understand why their engagement fell apart. Old wounds will be healed and the love that never died will be brought to light. ( )
