Book Description:
Deputy Tessa Black gave up her career as a detective with the Seattle PD and returned to the Pacific Northwest island she calls home to care for her ailing mother. Tessa thinks her mother’s illness is the worst thing she’ll face—until she responds to a routine call in the state park and discovers a local man harpooned to a sign.
As the murder investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the victim harbored secrets. Together with her FBI agent best friend, Cate, and park ranger Logan Wilde, Tessa must connect the pieces before the murderer strikes again. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she finds herself—and the ones she loves—in harm’s way.
Pressure mounts as Tessa attempts to juggle the current case with her search for the truth behind her childhood friend Samantha’s disappearance twenty years ago. Can Tessa find the murderer and uncover answers about Samantha without jeopardizing everything she holds dear?

Another fantastic book by Melinda Leigh. Thanks go to the publisher, via Net-Galley, for the chance to read and review this outstanding book. My opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way.
What a great book! I thoroughly enjoyed this new exciting novella by Ms. Leigh. The characters are intriguing, the plot is gripping. I always know I'm in for a treat with one of Ms. Leigh's romantic thrillers.
Tessa Black’s character was easy to like. She was willing to sacrifice her career in Seattle so she could be there for her mother who has dementia. Tessa certainly has a lot in her cup, but her determination to solve the murder while caring for her mother is commendable.
Logan Wilde is a great hero, one I quickly liked. He is willing to go to any lengths to help Tess solve the murder. It’s easy to see that he is attracted to Tessa.
While this is a stand-alone novel, I wish I had read Kendra Elliott’s, Close to the Bone. I will be purchasing it when it releases on October 23rd. Happy reading!
