Camille Tate has always run away…but now she’s ready to stop vanishing whenever life gets too frightening.
This special box set contains all five volumes of the Chameleon Chronicles.
Orcas Intrigue: When a broken heart sends Cam to remote Orcas Island to try her hand at caretaking and writing a screenplay, she finds quiet beaches and cozy bookstores, plus a host of intriguing folks, including a rugged boat-builder, a glamorous neighbor, and a reassuring sheriff’s deputy.
But an escalating nest of mysteries and the haunting sense of being watched soon leave Cam wondering if she can believe her own perceptions. As intrigue turns to danger, she must decide whether there is anyone she can trust, or if it’s time for her to vanish yet again.
Orcas Intruder: Camille Tate always tells herself to calm down…but her instincts always warn her to disappear.
After her first, frightening weeks on Orcas Island, Cam is hoping that a quiet Thanksgiving with her foster parents and a few friends will help her recover from the horror of witnessing a shooting and being kidnapped.
But her employers, the Brixtons, are returning to their estate for the holiday as well. Then a few unexpected visitors from Cam’s past show up. When her neighbor’s home is ransacked, Cam’s peaceful holiday vanishes completely as she realizes the intrigue that has haunted her new island life is far from over.
Orcas Investigation: Camille Tate has begun to feel at home…but staying in one place has dangers for a woman who always fades away.
Winter comes to Orcas, and ice strands Cam indoors to work on her script, do some caretaking, and recover from the dangers of her earlier time on the island. But Cam is grieving her friends, lost to betrayal, travel, and whatever called Lisa Cannon away with barely a word.
JoJo, the rakish son of her boss, offers a charming distraction from this loneliness, and all the things Cam should be doing. With him at her side, Cam is swept into a new investigation. Against a backdrop of hilarious island politics and eccentric neighbors, the secrets of Cam’s childhood—and her mysterious gift—begin to surface.
Orcas Illusion: Camille Tate has finally found her stride…but is it all an illusion?
Just when life should finally be settling down for Cam, new challenges arrive to knock her off balance again.
Lisa Cannon has returned after being off island all winter, and Cam is both excited to be her new personal assistant, and nervous about showing her the play she’s written. But Lisa’s return brings much more trouble than that.
JoJo Brixton, that charming rascal, is back, and determined to win Cam’s forgiveness with his usual blend of humor, insouciance, and charm. Then there’s Colin, who has had just about enough of the friend zone. Kevin and his Intruder, Paige Berry and her air of mystery, pets, raccoons, and play revisions add plenty of chaos too. But then a stranger comes prowling, a friend falls deathly ill, and Cam finds herself embroiled in Orcas intrigue again.
When Cam and her friend Jen dig deep to resolve all these mysteries, both the law and other more shadowy figures go to surprising lengths to keep these “amateurs” out of their business, and away from the truth.
Orcas Intermission: Camille Tate is ready to be seen…but is her world ready to see her?
Reeling from her recent recruitment as a confidential informant in the island’s ongoing more-than-murder investigation, Cam is flummoxed by an escalating avalanche of secrets divulged by everyone from her boss, Lisa Cannon, to her friend Paige Berry, and the rakishly charming JoJo Brixton, among others. No one and nothing is what it seemed; and as each new revelation leads to even deeper ones, it becomes a struggle to focus on her fabulous new day job: bringing her recently completed play, Salon Confidential, to the stage! In all the chaos, Cam nearly misses the one thing that’s so clear to everyone around her: how much she herself is changing.
In this fast-moving, humorous, heartbreaking and heartwarming final volume of The Chameleon Chronicles, Cam faces more than one old nemesis, a slew of surprising new challenges, the long arm of the law, and her innermost fears…as a truly unforgettable opening night draws ever nearer.
