Synopsis (Goodreads):
Scargill Cove is the perfect place for Fallon Jones, confirmed recluse and investigator of the paranormal. It’s a hot spot, a convergence point for unusually strong currents of energy, which might explain why the town attracts misfits and drifters like moths to a flame. Now someone else has been drawn to the Cove — Isabella Valdez, on the run from some very dangerous men.

When she starts working as Fallon’s assistant, Isabella impresses him by organizing his pathologically chaotic office—and doesn’t bat an eye at the psychic element of his job. She’s a kindred spirit, a sanctuary from a world that considers his talents a form of madness. But after a routine case unearths an antique clock infused with dark energy, Fallon and Isabella are dragged into the secret history of Scargill Cove and forced to fight for their lives, as they unravel a cutthroat conspiracy with roots in the Jones family business…and Isabella’s family tree.
Thoughts on In Too Deep: We're digging into the unconventional lives of another of the Jones family and Fallon sort of hits all the eccentric buttons. In a good way, mind you. He's focused, a loner, and he's quick to find patterns and connections in chaos. Which is a definite plus considering both his line of work and what he and Isabella uncover in Scargill Cove.

As for Isabella, she's had her own sort of unconventional life. After an attempted kidnapping (among other things), she's found her way to Scargill Cove and Fallon Jones. Not unsurprisingly, she fits right in with the people in town and she's found a place in the office of J&J. Also not unsurprisingly, she stumbles onto something dangerous when she uses her own talents in the field.

Because secrets and lies and coverups and conspiracies can't stay hidden forever when a man who sees patterns and a lady who finds secrets team up.

A little danger, a lot of quirk, a steamy time between the sheets, and a whole lot of secrets being dragged into the light. *thumbs up*
