Hearts of the South Series

Caitlin Falconetti, her job is her life. It’s how she’s been able to get over the near-fatal attack that cost her everything, including the man she loved.

Sheriff’s investigator Lamar “Tick” Calvert has been assigned to sort out the corruption in the sheriff’s department in his hometown. This means he’s going working with the one woman he considers the one who got away. When a case throws them together, it’s clear the attraction is still there, but Caitlin’s still holding on to a secret. Tick’s determined to figure out what went wrong between them, and he also has a killer to catch—a killer who seems to have picked Caitlin as his next target.
