The New Deputy in Town

Nick Rogers is the new deputy sheriff in Whitehorse, Montana, and his first case lands before he has settled in: a murder at a bridal shower. A wedding is still on the calendar, and now a funeral is too.

Small-town life brings Nick two complications. One is the local gossips, who are no help with the investigation. The other is Laney Cavanaugh, whom he is falling for, and that makes it hard for a man trying to keep a low profile.

The trouble is that the victim had enemies in Laney's family, and the Cavanaughs are ready for a fight. Nick is not above getting his hands dirty, and he works the case while the family closes ranks around him.

Nick has secrets of his own, and so, it seems, does nearly everyone else in Whitehorse. This is a romantic suspense novel set in Montana, with a mystery and a slow-burning attraction running side by side. The question is whether the new lawman can find the killer before the people he is growing close to become the suspects.
