Carolina Moon is a 2000 romantic suspense novel by American author Nora Roberts. It is a standalone novel featuring Tory Bodeen as the heroine and Kincade Lavelle as her love interest. It was made into a TV movie for the Lifetime network in 2007. [1]
Tory Bodeen survived a difficult childhood thanks to her father's religious views with help from her special gift: another sense that can see events about to happen or happening. Her world is shattered when her best friend, Hope Lavelle, is murdered.
As an adult, Tory returns to Progress, South Carolina, to start her own business and to face her past. She runs into old friends, her cousin Wade, and Hope's family. Facing Hope's twin, Faith, is irritating--while seeing Cade Lavelle reignites an old flame.
When bodies start to pile up, Tory has to use her gift to try to locate a killer before it is too late. At the same time, her estranged father starts making unwelcome appearances at her shop and home. [2]
