Everyone in St. Helena knows Jenna Sheridan is as level-headed as they come. She’s the most well-respected and highly sought after accountant for many of the top businesses in the Valley. But, when Jenna insists her aunt was murdered, the facts don’t add up. She’s content to investigate her aunt’s death with the help of her roommate and best friend, Anna, until the only man she’s ever loved reappears in her life and she’s forced into letting him help her. Is he helping her find the truth or is he helping to keep a sixteen-year-old secret concealed?
FBI Special Agent Mike Thomas does not like small towns where everyone knows your name, your business, and your shoe size. He’s been happily living anonymously in Los Angeles while chasing his dream of a big promotion and subsequent move to Washington DC, until Jenna’s aunt winds up dead. Was she killed to keep a secret from getting out, or did she just fall asleep on the treacherous winding road like everyone else believes? Seeing Jenna again messes with Mike’s plans, and when a series of attacks on her threatens to cut short their reunion, he has to decide if being loved in a small-town is better than being alone and anonymous in the big city.
