Book 1 — Start here · Fin Fleming Scuba Diving Mystery Series
A routine dive turns deadly.
Fin Fleming is fearless underwater. As chief underwater photographer for an elite oceanographic institute in the Cayman Islands, she goes where others won't. On land, it's a whole other story: a manipulative ex, complicated new stepsiblings, and a career that's always on the edge.
Then a routine dive turns deadly. It looks like a tragic accident, but it isn't. As the crimes escalate and a shocking death rocks the diving community, Fin realizes the killer is hiding in plain sight — and she may be next.
With only her instincts and her courage, can she outwit a murderer before she's pulled under for good?
Heart-stopping suspense, tropical intrigue, and a spark of romance. No swearing, no sex, just a twisty mystery.

Sunken Death

Book 2 · Fin Fleming Scuba Diving Mystery Series
A cursed treasure. A killer on board.
For centuries, a legendary treasure has lain hidden beneath the Caribbean: the Queen's Tiara, said to be cursed by sorrow, betrayal, and death by drowning. Many have gone looking for it. None came back.
Underwater photographer Fin Fleming has found the lost coordinates in a long-forgotten ship's log. She assembles a daring crew of divers and sets out to retrieve the tiara, filming the whole expedition for a high-stakes documentary.
But once the dives begin, the curse seems to wake. Betrayal splits the team, and a drowning death shakes everyone aboard. Fin doesn't believe in curses, but she knows a killer is hiding among her crew.
As alliances shift and motives surface, Fin has to unravel the truth before the killer claims another victim — all while a rival team is rapidly closing in on the prize.
Treasure-hunt adventure, breathtaking dives, and a dash of clean romance.

Book 3 · Fin Fleming Scuba Diving Mystery Series
Her best friends are missing. The clock is ticking.
Her best friends are missing. Their baby is alone. And the ransom note names a price Fin can't pay.
Grand Cayman's sunlit waters have always been Fin's sanctuary. Then her closest friends vanish, leaving their baby daughter alone with nothing but a cryptic ransom note as a clue to their possible fate. The price of their safety is the spoils from a recent, dangerous, but lucrative salvage operation — and the clock is ticking.
As Fin scrambles to piece together the truth, trouble closes in from every side: ruthless thieves targeting her dive shop, a killer bull shark stalking the reefs, and a kidnapper whose threats grow more terrifying by the hour.
When the calls suddenly go silent and every lead dissolves, Fin realizes she's not just fighting to save her friends. She's up against a deadly conspiracy that runs deeper than the sea.
Pulse-pounding suspense, breathtaking dives, and a heroine who won't let evil go unchallenged.

After the hurricane, the real danger begins.
As Category 5 Hurricane Willard barrels toward the Cayman Islands, underwater photographer Fin Fleming has one goal: keep her family and friends safe. But when the skies clear, she finds a dead woman aboard her brother Oliver's boat.
The police are certain Oliver did it. Fin isn't. Teaming up with Detective Scott, she hunts for the real killer — but everyone is a suspect, even her own brother. With accusations of drug use flying, old grudges coming to light, and a family under pressure, Fin has to untangle the truth before the killer strikes again.
She'll have help from a new sidekick — a mischievous rooster who refuses to stay out of trouble. She'll also need to pilot a multimillion-dollar submarine, a feat that's simultaneously a dream and a nightmare.

For chief underwater photographer Fin Fleming, the stakes couldn't be higher. A crucial documentary deadline is looming, and the institute's future hangs in the balance. When Joely Wentworth, a close friend from Fin's tight-knit team, vanishes without a trace, the clock starts ticking.
Determined to save her friends and the institute she loves, Fin enlists Christophe Poisson, a world champion freediver, and a crew of elite scuba divers. But the deeper she goes — in the water and in her own life — the more she learns that the secrets around her are even more dangerous than the ocean.

The heat is on. The stakes have never been higher.
In the midst of the worst heat wave Grand Cayman has seen in years, an early-morning explosion rips through RIO, the oceanographic institute run by underwater photographer Fin Fleming, leaving a young mermaid performer badly injured. It looks like sabotage. It's only the beginning of a nightmare.
Fin is no stranger to danger. But her husband Rafe Cummings has vanished from the set of his latest movie, her brother Oliver has been missing ever since an undercover sting, and most of her usual team is away at an international dive conference.
Fires and explosions strike sites across the island, and every target is linked to Fin and the people closest to her. With help from new friend Charity Styles, Fin must draw on every skill she has to stop the destruction and find the people she loves.
