When the past knocks, deadbolt the door…

For private investigator Samantha Price, life is finally starting to feel more settled. Working investigations with her live-in boyfriend, Nate Bennet, is both personally and professionally fulfilling. With one of Nate’s brothers engaged and his older brother, Cal, finally moving back home to Marietta, Montana, the only thing that can disrupt the present…is the past.

Mystery author Jill Harrington can no longer pretend that her grandmother’s history isn’t important. She secretly hires Sam to get to the bottom of what caused Glenda’s traumatic muteness decades ago. But Glenda Harrington is a local ghost story to the people of Marietta, and she has no desire to change that. For years, she’s protected the Bennet family secrets along with her own, and she’ll do whatever she can to stop Sam and Nate from discovering the truth.

But attorney Cal Bennett knows his childhood memories still shield critical secrets. To understand what happened when he was a child, he joins forces with Jill, Sam, and Nate to dig up what Glenda’s been hiding. And what they unearth endangers them all.

Grumpy billionaire rancher meets sunshine city vet. Small town. One night. Big mistake.

I don’t do relationships.
I run cattle. And a billion-dollar empire no one here knows about.

She has no idea I own half this town. Or that I’m her best friend’s brother.

One whiskey. One night. One sunrise I can’t forget.

Maybe I did.

Because if Holly finds out the truth… She won’t just break my rules. She’ll break me.
