Amazon.com Review"Leigh has created a nail-bitingly suspenseful romance novel that’s sure to put your manicure in danger." — Booklist

"Don't start this book before bed unless you enjoy sleeping with one eye open! Murderous twists and dramatic turns keep you guessing throughout — and with a small town full of hateful, secretive people, the list of suspects is lengthy. The highly suspenseful plot spans decades, pulling secrets from the past and melding them with the present, and is paired with a steamy romance that explores vulnerability, passion and trust." — RT Book Reviews, 4 stars (HOT)

From Publishers WeeklyRelentless tension builds to a riveting crescendo in Leigh’s romantic thriller even as sparks ignite between Westbury, Pa., police chief Mike O’Connell and plucky farmer Rachel Parker. Rachel receives an urgent phone call from her sister, Sarah, and dashes over to confront Sarah’s abusive husband, Troy. Chief Mike comes to the rescue just as Troy lands a direct hit to Rachel’s face. The injury is the least of Rachel’s problems; somebody is trying every threatening means possible to drive her off the family farm that she’s only recently returned to. As the threats escalate from graffiti to murder attempts, Mike decides he must protect Rachel 24/7, at the expense of his job if need be. A subplot involving local graft and corruption intensifies Mike’s stress while ramping up the conflict. Leigh (She Can Run) easily juggles multiple story lines, romance, and suspense.
