Synopsis

Independent, stunning, and smart, Kell Jameson has the life she's always dreamed about. A partner at a tony Atlanta law firm that represents famous—if guilty—clients, she's far from her days as a lonely orphan in rural Georgia. But one frantic phone call will bring her back to the place she's spent years trying to escape. The head of her childhood orphanage has been accused of murder, and Kell is her only hope for freedom. From the first moment Kell meets Sheriff Luke Calder, tempers and attraction flare. Ruggedly handsome and a stickler for law and order, Luke finds Kell compelling. Unfortunately, she represents his prime suspect. Forced to work together, they dig deep into the town's scandals . . . but Kell has a secret of her own. She trusts Luke enough to fall in love—but does she trust him enough to reveal the reckless past she's worked so hard to keep hidden?

When I started this book, I was really enjoying the story. Unfortunately, this ended not being a romance for me. Kell is a lawyer and gets a call from the woman who raised her that she needs her help after a murder in town. Kell shows up and immediately runs into Luke, a police officer who grates on......more

Goodreads review by Monica **can't read fast enough** on April 12, 2021

I enjoyed the plot in general and the chemistry between Kell and Sherriff Luke and the story reads super fast. The 'I love you' came a bit fast for two people who didn't know each other long or very well. One of the biggest positives for me was that Kell and Luke are both adults, Kell around 36 or s......more

Something tells me the author's maybe not actively writing the second at the moment. In other words: A fun ride! Kinda like Scandal but less......more

3.75 I was complaining to my friend about the sexlessness of political memoirs, and he was like, "You know Stacey Abrams [the rightful governor of Georgia] writes romance novels, right?" I did not know! So I got this from the library asap! It was so fun! A romance and a police procedural all in one, w......more
