Just love the way the author has several different stories going on that all will be inner woven together. Just the right amount so not to be confusing. Once again we are in Jubilee, KY and some new Pope’s have found their way home to Pope mountain. Escaping her abusive ex husband, Shirley with her 4 grown son head back to Pope mountain to reclaim her inheritance and to find peace. Aaron the oldest finds a job with the local authorities, a job he had before and loves. Dani has bad memories of a stalker that was finally caught and put in prison but needing a fresh start accepts a job as a 1st grade teacher in Jubilee, KY. As she is getting familiar with her new hometown she see a man running from the creek who falls and things from his backpack spills out. Starting to go to help the man she sees a gun near him and backs off into the shadows. The man bleeding picks up his stuff and throws his things into his car and drives off. Dani spots something that he left behind and goes to retrieve it. Thinking turning it into the police be the best way to find the owner. She turns it in to Officer Aaron and so starts the mystery, present and past and the sweet romance between Dani and Aaron. This book can be read as a standalone, but the 1st in the series was very enjoyable so why not read it? I received a complimentary copy of this book.
