Cadence Falls

By Beth Carter

On the hunt for a criminal, Everett will find the love he walked away from.

Amanda, Cooper and Everett were the best of friends, and after an intimate encounter at Cadence Falls, Amanda believed they'd be together forever. But when Everett leaves without a word, her heart breaks and she pulls away from Cooper too.

Years later, a dangerous felon has escaped from prison. When he disappears into the vast Montana mountains, the US Marshalls come to town and they bring along a Shadow Wolf tracker—Everett. For Everett, it's the one place he really doesn't wish to return to, since he knows the long-lost love of his life, Amanda, still lives there with his once best friend, Cooper.

For Cooper, Everett's appearance brings up remembered love and pain, creating more discord between the three of them. When they're forced to work together to help capture the criminal, will they be able to get over past hurts and reconcile, or will they forget about their time at Cadence Falls forever?

Author’s Note

Shadow Wolves are a law enforcement unit of Native American trackers that fall under Homeland Security. Their primary goal is to track smugglers along the Texas-Mexico border in Arizona. This group is small, consisting of anywhere from fifteen to twenty-one officers, comprised of nine different Native American tribes who have an esteemed history of tracking passed down from generation to generation. Their main method of tracking is called cutting for sign, in which they search and analyze even the most minute detail in an effort to locate their target. They have been utilized worldwide in teaching other law enforcement, as well as hunting terrorists along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Most people know very little about the Shadow Wolves.

The building hadn’t been designed for people to be packed in like sardines. Then again, no one had expected to be faced with the threat of an escaped convict in their midst either. Now, here was the entire population of Pine Bluff, Montana, waiting for the federal law enforcement officer to come out and give them details about what the hell they were going to do.

As she waited, melting little by little, she looked around and her gaze met and locked with Cooper Haith, her once best friend. One of the men she’d thought she’d spend her life with and now the one man she could never be with. Her heart stuttered with remembered love. Remembered pain. She really was masochistic to continue living in the same town with him and not have him.

Did he remember how good it used to
