A Kiss to Die for (2013)
“Not that he needed the light to guide him. He’d grown up on the bay, spending nearly as much time at his grandparents’ house as he had in his own suburban Virginia home. Every twist in the winding path, every creak and crack in the aging house inundated him with memories—memories he’d tried like hell to forget.
He reached the weathered dock perched at the edge of the water, a narrow channel that wended through the marsh grass to the bay. Taking a seat on the wooden oar box, he unscrewed the... cap on the bottle with trembling hands. Then he guzzled down several deep swallows of whiskey, desperate to quell the shakes. He paused to catch his breath, then took another vital drink. Hissing, he wiped his mouth on the back of his hand.
