Deception in Durban Book Three
(2025)(The third book in the Golden Sands Romance series)
A Story by Nikki Wilton
A bouquet, a mystery note, and a boyfriend who didn’t send them. What new mystery awaits Lea and Aaron?
Lea’s work day starts like any other. But just as she’s about to head home, she spots something strange: a bouquet of roses on the roof of her car, along with a cryptic note that reads, "The seas are scary and dark, but the fishes here are having a lark." Sweet... but not romantic. Still, she assumes it’s one of her boyfriend Aaron’s quirky surprises. Until she gets home and finds out the flowers weren’t from him.
What Lea thought was a charming gesture quickly deepens into yet another mystery for the couple. Someone had to know her schedule, her car, and where she works. And someone left that strange note for her to find. Was it harmless? A joke? Or the beginning of something far more serious?
As the day unfolds, Lea and Aaron follow a breadcrumb trail of riddles as every clue they uncover leads to more questions, forcing them to reevaluate what they think they know about each other, and themselves. Then a ghost from Lea’s past, Declan Winters, her charming and exuberant college best friend, inserts himself into their day. The reunion is unexpected, and while Declan’s warm smile and easy banter bring back memories, Lea quickly notices Aaron, her steady, loving boyfriend, growing just a bit more possessive than usual. Can Aaron and Lea’s relationship stand up to the sudden reappearance of a man who once knew her better than anyone? Or is Declan more than just a blast from the past?
