Mysteries of the Dogwood Diaries

A legacy is left through generations of women who write in the "Dogwood Diaries" translating oral history to the printed word. The loss of one of the women and her diary is the catalyst for the determined family matriarch, Marguerite McKenna to find them, to preserve her family and its legacies.
Blaine Stryker has distinguished herself in investigative reporting and is a Pulitzer Prize nominee when her childhood nemesis, “Her Ladyship, Marguerite McKenna” summons her in a public and not so subtle way.

Having gone underground in her youth, Blaine fights to protect her new identity but is forced to pay an old debt to Marguerite’s granddaughter and the indomitable “Biddy” who once helped save her life. The past unravels in a rapid pace with the involvement of a federal officer, Walker Rhoades ;who is investigating mysterious deaths that lead him to suspect Blaine and Cory Stryker are the key to the case and may be trying to “cash in” on a large inheritance.

Five mysteries will be revealed before Walker Rhoades and Blaine Stryker can reconcile the facts and solve the cases. The humorous and testy relationship between these two characters will lead you on a fast-paced path from New York City, Nashville, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and into the depths of caves. Prepare to engage with a couple who will introduce you to a new side to romance and suspenseful partnership.

Perhaps the heart of the story is in following the thread of unconditional love and friendship that Cory Stryker brings as his influence is felt in the trust of a rigid Matriarch; the sacrificial relationship with a desperate teen; the role model and example he is to the “by the book” formidable federal agent who is “all Texan”, and to all that come into contact with the “genuine leprechaun of love and faith”. His is a character that will stay with you, even as you fall in love with Walker Rhoades, and champion Blaine Stryker through their conflicts, collaborations and efforts to contain their mounting attractions as “opposites attract”..
