When Lucy Watson returns to her hometown in New Hampshire to bury her brother, she learns law enforcement is looking into several suspects. But soon the search for the killer grows intensely personal for Lucy. The police discover a fierce argument occurred the day of the murder between Lucy’s brother and his best friend Liam McAllister, Lucy’s first love. The cops shift their focus to Liam. Determined to get justice, Lucy becomes involved in the mystery and must choose to put her faith in Liam one last time, or face the truth; she is in love with her brother’s murderer.

He invites her to his bar and grill to show he’s a reformed, self-made businessman. But his plan comes apart. The bank threatens foreclosure on his establishment, and he falls under suspicion for the death of his pal and Lucy’s brother. Liam struggles to overcome his personal challenges while proving he’s changed. Can he convince Lucy to trust him, or is it too late for a second shot at love?

Excerpt:
She
wandered into the hall and glanced into a paneled den with a
large-screen TV mounted on the wall. The leather furniture added to
the masculine feel. A rawhide bone lay beside the recliner. Too
homey.
She
whirled around and slowed at the sight of the entryway. Fragments of
Sullivan’s words played in her mind. In the front hall. Answered
the door. Shot.
Her
stomach clenched tight. Liam came up behind her as they inched
forward. She halted. Sections of the wooden plank floor were stained
rust-colored. Ryan’s blood. Lightness whirled in her head. Her legs
threatened to fold under her.
Brown
splatters streaked the white walls.
She
stumbled back against Liam. He wrapped his arm around her waist to
support her and pointed. Her gaze ran over the trail of spatter near
the door.
There,
pennies were stuck above the knob. It took a few seconds to realize
the coins had been grouped to form letters that spelled: CHEAT.
