Sweetwater Deception
()
About this ebook
Sweetwater County, Georgia beckoned Dana Tucker Pennington to return to her country roots in the farmhouse inherited from the grandparents who raised her. At loose ends after the death of her husband, she had few remaining ties in the midwestern city where she'd lived since her marriage. Her daughter in post-grad school was unsure where she would settle after earning her law degree. On her first day back home an encounter with Bret Kenyon, the man who broke her teenage heart brought doubt about coming home. A rekindled love is shaken when secrets from their pasts threaten the daughters they adore.
Sylvia Nickels
Sylvia Nickels was born and grew up in rural Georgia. She moved to Northeast Tennessee many years ago where she now lives and writes. Several of her stories and books are set in that area.
