Returning to Cedar Cove, Maine, wasn't on my bingo card for this year or, well, any year. This town is less "quaint seaside charm" and more "where all my worst memories live." But my grams took a bad fall, so here I am back where my parents and my first love were murdered a decade ago. A real Hallmark homecoming. I barely unpack before another murder rocks the town, on the exact anniversary of the one that wrecked my life. I'd say I'm here to help, but honestly? It's my journalist instincts that won't let me walk away. Cedar Cove's new sheriff, Jack Mercer, thinks I'm in over my head. He's infuriatingly good-looking, disarmingly nice, and doesn't seem half as grumpy around me as he does around everyone else. Annoying. Then there's Reed. He's tall, dark, and unsettlingly similar to Rhett - the type of guy I should be avoiding at all costs. Now I've got two men in my life: One who's paid to keep the town safe, and another who's setting off every alarm in my head. Both of them are hiding something, and if history is any indication, trusting the wrong person here could be lethal. In Cedar Cove, love can be murder. And if I'm not careful, I might be next.
