Author Description

Scott Shepherd needs a fresh start. After years of wearing a badge in the hills of West Virginia—and the mistakes that haunt him—he’s certain Farrisville, North Carolina, is his chance to begin again. Quiet town. Clean slate. Until the ghosts he thought he’d outrun catch up with him, threatening not only his future… but the fragile trust he’s begun to build. Millie Bennett has made a life in Farrisville. As the town’s beloved psych, she’s more than just a mental health provider—she’s part of the community’s fabric. Working alongside the local police is her passion, her pride. But when Shep steps in as the newest candidate for captain, she quickly realizes some pasts come with baggage that’s not so easily unpacked. And some men—no matter how broken—might be worth the risk. As secrets surface and danger creeps closer, Millie and Shep must decide if redemption is truly possible… or if some roads were never meant to be traveled.
