In rtf I just submitted a book which is not only an easy validation, but was a 
fairly fun read as well. Beach comber, by Karen Robards. Bookshare doesn't seem 
to have many of her books, though much of it has been on best-seller lists. I 
have pasted the jacket below.

From New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards comes a thrilling new 
novel of suspense and steamy seaside sensuality set in North Sea Carolina's 
Outer

Banks, where a serial killer combs the beaches filled with beautiful female 
tourists for his next victim.

 

Christy Petrino hadn't planned on a vacation on Ocracoke Island, but when she 
learns her fiancéé and boss, suave Michael DePalma, is a "made man" and the

Philadelphia law firm where she works is a front for the mob, she breaks her 
engagement and quits her job. But no one walks away from the DePalma family

business so easily....Only if she delivers a locked briefcase to a motel on 
Ocracoke Island will she-and her mother and sisters-be free.

 

But after clandestinely making her drop-off late at night, Christy suspects she 
is being followed on the moonlit beach-and unwittingly runs into a new kind

of terror. Now a witness at the center of a homicide investigation, Christy 
learns the police are hunting a serial killer they refer to as the "Beachcomber"

because beautiful young women-women who in fact resemble her-have disappeared 
recently while vacationing at nearby beach communities. Christy doesn't know

whom to fear more-a serial killer who believes she might be able to identify 
him, or the DePalma family, whose tentacles she can't seem to escape.

 

Only when she's with Luke Rand, her big surfer-dude next-door neighbor, does 
she feel safe. But with Luke's asking so many questions about her ex-fiancéé

and his showing up almost too conveniently whenever danger strikes, she can't 
help but wonder if his interest in her is due to more than sexual attraction.

Can she trust this handsome stranger to help her survive a hot and deadly 
summer?

 

Karen Robards creates a tour de force of passion and suspense in this 
sintilating page-turner, the quintessential summertime read.
