Dark Little Dreams of Saint Augustine

Ever since the death of her father when she was eight, Cadence Clearwater longed to return to the city of Saint Augustine, the one and only place she has a memory of him. Fifteen years later, she arrives in the city to attend Flagler College. When she walks into the locally renowned Panadería Valenciano for a pick-me-up on her first day of class, she expects nothing short of the best latte of her entire life. Then the breathtakingly beautiful Malesa Valenciano looks at her from across the counter, and something inside of her shifts. Is it deja vu? Is it love at first sight? Is it simply that she has a booger hanging out of her nose and doesn't know it? For all her adoration of the classic love stories, Cadence has never gotten to experience her own, or even really like someone...until now. Suddenly, she finds herself feeling the aching pine of a real crush-on another woman, no less! But as the romance between Cadence and Malesa begins to heat up, she discovers that Malesa's dark side goes beyond the kinky games she likes to play...As her suspicions grow, Cadence finds herself investigating a pair of missing students whose case has been all but dismissed by local police, ultimately pointing her to a horrifying trail of shadow and blood that weaves back centuries to the founding of Saint Augustine, leading right to the doorstep of the Valenciano family's mysterious mansion...
