~~~~~~~~~~~~~BLURB:
Quinn McGuire only wanted to lay her mother to rest.
She planned to hustle out of Hayden County, Kentucky once it was all
done. The town held nothing but bad memories for her. She’d never
forget the echoes of children’s taunts calling her poor trash
and whispers about her daddy's crimes. With the exception of her best
friend, Jack Lassiter, there was no one in Hayden she cared about -
and she’d even been hiding from him for the last two years. But in
less than 24-hours after her arrival, Quinn’s brother gets arrested
for murder, derailing her plans for a quick exit. Quinn has to find
a way to clear his name, but shadows from her past threaten her efforts
and her sanity. As she moves closer to the truth, she just may be putting
herself in the path of the real killer.

EXCERPTS
Jack was an intentional man who rarely did anything that didn’t
serve a purpose. When he trained his shrewd green eyes upward, I realized it had been his aim to touch me.
My reaction to his hug earlier hadn’t gone unnoticed.
Taking the swing next to him, I pushed off gently and moved back and
forth.
“How long are you going to be home this time?” he asked. There
was no reservation in his voice - no indication there had been a break
or shift in our friendship. His easy way belied the fact that we hadn’t
spoken in over two years.
Shrugging, I said, “Dunno, a couple of weeks I guess. I figure it
will take that long to settle Ava’s affairs - sell the house and do something
with the salon.”
The answer seemed to satisfy him, and an awkward silence settled between
us as an afternoon breeze whistled and tossed dry leaves across the
yard. We shared the same birth date, but at thirty-eight, there was
wisdom in Jack’s face that made him seem wiser than his years.
I sighed and looked at the sky before speaking. “I’m sorry for
not staying in touch.”
He took a sip of coffee and nodded toward me. “And.”
“And…” I hesitated, “you are… my best friend, and you deserve
more than that.”
He rolled his eyes. “And... you are going to tell me why you disappeared
without a word for two years.”
Taking a deep breath, I shook my head slowly before looking at him.
“No,” I said quietly. “Not yet. I will tell you one day but not
right now.”
