    About this ebook

    Marriage and motherhood aren’t enough for Deena Powers. Anxious to re-establish herself as a capable professional investigator, she opens an agency in Four Creeks where she now lives. One of her first cases is for the Grimes Corporation, a property dispute, simple enough, but when the CEO is killed in a plane crash, she soon learns that farming is not a tame business. While juggling life as a working mother, she finds herself drawn into the turmoil within the grieving family. And then to complicate matters, a shadow from her past reemerges, posing a threat to her and her family, and she is forced to summon the courage to do the unthinkable.
