About the book

Silver Gap looks like the kind of town where nothing bad ever happens. Until a body turns up in the mountains.

London Scott has built a good life at the Lilac Inn. The rooms stay full, the scones are best served warm, and raising her teenage niece has left little room for anything else. Especially romance.

She has enough on her plate without letting herself think about Sebastian Archer. The town sheriff has been part of her life for years, first as her late brother’s best friend and now as the one man she’s never quite been able to forget.

But when Abigail discovers a dead woman in an abandoned mountain homestead, the peace of small-town life shatters.

As Sebastian investigates, one chilling detail comes to light. The victim looks enough like London to make the case feel dangerously personal. Then strange gifts begin appearing at the inn, and Seb’s protective presence becomes impossible to ignore. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny the feelings they’ve both kept buried.

In a town where everyone knows their history, London and Seb may finally have a chance at something more.

If a killer doesn’t get to her first.
