Overview
Book 1 in the brand-new Twin Lights series from the beloved author of The Sisterhood!
In a fresh, new series for fans of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, and Melida Leigh, #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels introduces siblings Madison and Lincoln Taylor, whose unexpected Jersey Shore inheritance changes their lives in ways they never could have imagined…
Growing up, Madison Taylor and her younger brother Lincoln lived in privilege, but their sheltered existence abruptly ended when their father was arrested for fraud and the family assets were seized. Since then, Madison has carved out a new path, studying fashion and working her way up to editor in chief of La Femme magazine, while Lincoln teaches wealth management at a small college outside the city. Both have separated themselves from their family and their past—until an unexpected bequest arrives from their late uncle.
Madison and Lincoln are now the new co-owners of a marina at Smugglers Cove on the Navesink river. Instead of a fabulous, Hamptons-style property, Smugglers Cove offers little beyond a dilapidated dock, a few gas pumps, and a handful of clam boats. Madison’s plan to sell the property goes awry when a dead body is found floating under their dock and transforms their new inheritance into a crime scene.
Suddenly, Madison is swapping her city-girl wardrobe for cargo pants and flannel shirts, while she and Lincoln receive a crash course in small-town Jersey shore life, complete with quirky characters, pirate legends, and a mysterious treasure map. They’re discovering more about themselves and each other every day, but with a mystery to solve, and big decisions to make, these are lessons they’ll need to learn fast . . .

Madison is swapping her city-girl wardrobe for cargo pants and flannel shirts, while she and her son, Lincoln, receive a crash course in small-town Jersey shore life, complete with quirky characters, pirate legends, and a mysterious treasure map. With a mystery to solve, and big decisions to make, there are a lot of lessons they’ll need to learn fast .
This book is a bit too sweet for me. It has been a while since I have read Fern Michaels. Her writing is overly dramatic and I sometimes want to slap her characters into growing a backbone. And I definitely wanted to do that with Madison. She is way too mousy for me.
I did enjoy the history surrounding this location of Smuggler’s Cove. This made the book for me and kept me reading. I love a book with a setting surrounded by history.
Not a big fan of this narrator. She is a bit overly dramatic…but it could have been the writing.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
