On Bonaire Book One
A personal journey full of hope, and one woman’s determination to free herself from her difficult past.
Growing up, Lyle Cooper had to dodge her mother’s boyfriends and scavenge for food, learning early on how to fend for herself. She relied on her best friend, Dottie, to provide the stability and companionship she craved. Together, they would navigate life’s challenges over the next four decades.
Now in her forties and newly single, Lyle travels with friends to a tropical paradise, where she intends to mend her broken heart under the Caribbean sun. Days filled with boating and scuba diving have her feeling joyful again, just as a new man enters her life.
But as inconsistencies in Lyle’s past begin to surface, friends suspect there’s something strange about her closest confidant—maybe Dottie isn’t all she’s made out to be. Not only that, Lyle’s ex is harboring a secret that, if exposed, would threaten her happy future.

My Bonaire Book Three
All she wanted was a quiet life. Why would someone want her dead?
Lyle Cooper is living her best life. New friends, a beach front home, and a man she’s head over heels in love with. Michael Miller has made good on his promise and moved her to Bonaire Island. She spends her peaceful days as the curator of a gift shop on the main street and begins to nurture relationships with the locals. Her life is settling into safe, predictable patterns—just what she’s always dreamed of.
Lyle meets Orion, a manicurist who has a knack for predicting the future. She’s introduced to Dimphy, who runs a specialty boutique and isn’t shy about showing off her merchandise. Friends equals fun and Lyle is flourishing.
Then Lyle’s shop goes dark and the door remains locked. The police chief assembles her friends—old and new—and Michael rushes back to the island. But with few clues for them to go on, it seems the island itself has swallowed her whole.
Meanwhile, Lyle awakens to the realization that one new acquaintance was only a snake in the grass. As days pass with no food or water, she turns to an old buddy for comfort. As Lyle grows more desperate, she believes her only chance for survival is to throw herself deeper into danger. Will she be found before it’s too late?
