Book Overview
Could a notorious 17th century female pirate known only as the Black Witch provide the courage and self-confidence needed by Sabrina Harcourt-Stone, her descendant, as she’s swept up into a high-stakes charade with the FBI?
After her engagement falls apart, Sabrina arrives at her inherited Bahamian estate only to be roped into infiltrating a smuggling and money-laundering ring near her property because of her ownership of a global shipping company.
Assuming the persona of Aurora Case, a talented artist, she teams up with FBI agent Nickolas Wright, who plays the role of her boyfriend, a dockworker and a bartender. When Nick's life is in danger, Sabrina summons her ancestor’s boldness chronicled in an old journal to rescue him.
As their roles as Aurora and Nick intertwine, blurring the lines between their professional mission and their personal connection, does their affectionate charade evolve into something real.
BIOGRAPHY Love, mystery, history, and heart—Judi Getch Brodman weaves them all together with unforgettable depth and authenticity and punctuates them with the plot twist she is known for.
Some loves are so powerful… they echo through centuries. This is true of Judi's newly released novel, A Love Carved in Time, which is said to rival the classic "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". Dr. Ava Collins travels to a windswept Cape Cod village to research great white sharks—but instead finds herself drawn into a haunting mystery tied to the eerie Moore Mansion. Locals whisper that Captain Adrian Moore, murdered in 1830, still wanders its halls searching for justice. Ava find herself unraveling whispered conspiracies, exposing a ruthless killer, and changing the course of history before fate claims Adrian forever. But as secrets unravel, Ava faces an impossible truth… Saving Adrian may mean losing him forever. A sweeping time-crossed romance and mystery where love, destiny, and history collide.
Her 2025 novel, Paradise Revisited – A Vietnam Era Love Story, transports readers to Honolulu, April 1968, where a pilot and his fiancée find refuge in paradise amid the turmoil of war. Surrounded by orchids, plumeria, and white ginger, time seems to stand still—until reality reminds them that nothing, especially love during wartime, is guaranteed.
“The more life experiences a writer has, the more authentic their writing will be.” Judi’s stories draw deeply from lived emotion, personal loss, travel, and meticulous research—creating characters readers don’t just meet, but feel.
With twelve published books, including mysteries, time-travel romances, and the beloved Oyster Point Mysteries, Judi continues to captivate audiences—and she’s not slowing down. She’s currently working on two new manuscripts, including sequels to the Oyster Point Mysteries and Treacherous Waters. Judi’s writing has been compared to bestselling author Ruth Ware (The Woman in Cabin 10) as well as Mary Higgins Clark.
"She's Not You is a taut, engaging mystery that plays out against the vividly observed beauty of Cape Cod. A perfect beach read." Heidi Jon Schmidt, author of The House on Oyster Creek.
“Seriously, I loved the story, it’s twists & turns and the ending leaving room for book 2 which I will await anxiously !”
“I was engrossed & couldn’t put it down!”
“It built up in mystery and emotion and certainly was tense at the finish.”
