What She Saw: What She Saw (Conard County: The Next Generation) / Deadly Force (The Detectives): First edition
What She Saw
Waitress Haley Martin has made a small, safe life for herself: no big surprises, no falling in love. In one night, that calm world is shattered. A truck driver is dead, a sexy former military cop needs her help to solve the murder, and she might be next on the hit list.
There’s something big going down in this sleepy county. Buck Devlin needs to keep Haley close–and he’s had worse cover stories than pretending to be in love with a beautiful blonde. But the more danger they expose, the harder it is to remember their love story is just a cover….
Deadly Force
It was the one case Detective Sam Vernelli couldn’t solve: the murder of his fiancée more than a decade ago. So he’s not about to let her determined younger sister, Claire Fontaine, go it alone against whomever is threatening her in ways frightening and all-too-familiar. But protecting her means challenging Claire’s angry doubts about him, understanding her deepest fears…and letting her get much too close as every dead-end lead pushes their fragile trust to the breaking point. Sam slowly begins to realize that the truth lies closer to home than either of them ever imagined–and the price of revealing it could be more than they bargained for.
