To solve the crime of the century, she'll have to go back in time...Welcome to Star Island, where Miami's wealthiest residents lead private lives behind the tall gates of their sprawling mansions. It's a blissful escape from the hot and dirty city-or it was, until New Year's Day 2015, when twelve of the most powerful people in the world were found murdered in the basement of a Star Island mansion. The massacre shocked the nation and destroyed the life of investigator Lila Day. Her hunt for the Star Island killer consumed her. But the case went unsolved, resulting in her dismissal from the Miami PD. Now, three years later, life hands Lila an unexpected second chance: reclusive billionaire Teddy Hawkins approaches Lila and asks her to solve the case. But how do you investigate a crime when all the leads have long ago gone cold? The answer, Teddy tells her, is to solve the case before it happens. He's going to send Lila back in time. With nothing left to lose, an incredulous Lila travels back to 2014, determined to find the Star Island killer once and for all.
But as she goes undercover among the members of Miami's high society, she finds herself caring for-and falling for-people who are destined to die that fateful night. Now she must either say good-bye or risk altering the future forever.

Book 2
In exclusive Star Island, Miami, blood isn't always thicker than water ...The second book in a thrilling time traveling mystery series featuring a former Miami PD who solves murders before they happen-by going back in time. The night of his fiftieth birthday, software billionaire Jack Warren went missing hundreds of miles out to sea, his blood spattered aboard his yacht, his body gone. His mistress, Ava Day, was charged with his murder-but she had already vanished without a trace. Now, ten years later, detective Lila Day still refuses to believe that her sister is a cold-blooded killer. To clear Ava's name and solve this long-cold case, Lila asks her friend Teddy Hawkins to do what he has done before-send her back to time, to solve the crime before it takes place. And so she goes back to 2008, with only a month to prove her sister's innocence and bring Warren's real killer to justice. But as she dives ever deeper into the world of high-speed yachting and corporate intrigue, and the night of Warren's birthday draws ever closer, the truth becomes murkier than ever.
And then Lila discovers information that shocks her deeply-a terrible truth that changes everything she thought she knew about her sister, and herself.
