LOVE’S GIFT by Penelope Marzec
In 1903, Amaranth Beach is burdened by her ethnicity due to the Chinese Exclusion Acts. Abandoned on a beach as a newborn and raised in an orphanage, she is a skilled secretary, but the threat of deportation looms constantly and all employers turn her away… until Mrs. Tildon of Sea Haven, New Jersey, hires her.
Soon after Amaranth’s arrival, she discovers that the Tildon family secrets run deep—a reprobate father, a long-lost brother, an obnoxious maid who is never fired for her behavior, and William the son who worries too much about what people will think.
When a series of alarming events occur, it’s up to Amaranth and William to unravel the secrets that threaten to destroy the Tildon family.
Can Amaranth heal the family’s divisions with her faith? Or will a greater danger threaten them all.

THE KEEPER’S SECRET by Penelope Marzec
Shucker' s Point, New Jersey never had a murder until now. Jack St. Marie, a well-known research scientist is missing, and Trooper Bryce Johnson believes the worst of Jack' s wife, Evie.
In high school, Bryce loved Evie--enough to want to marry her, but that was before he witnessed her phone in a bogus bomb scare. And only two months before Jack disappeared, Bryce saw Evie aiming a gun at her husband. Can Bryce believe in Evie's innocence when her husband' s body is found in a fishing dredge twenty miles out at sea? Could the most beautiful woman in Shucker' s Point be capable of such a heinous crime? He doesn't want to believe it.
Bryce refuses to let his heart guide the investigation...until someone shoots at Evie. Then he must protect her. But can he protect his heart?

I haven't read Loves Gift yet, but I have read The Keeper's Secret which is a real page turner.
Evie and Bryce loved each other 10 years ago. But then stuff happened (spoilers) and they drifted apart until he’s a cop and she’s his number one murder suspect.Ms Marzec has done wonders with this story. From characters so real with flaws and scenery so brilliantly described it pulls the reader right in and barely gives them time to pause for breath.
