What this book is about
Shelby Pomeroy discovers after her husband's death that he was not who she thought — his name was an alias, his business dealings were criminal, and his debt is now hers. She returns to Tennessee with her daughter to start over, and meets Griff Lott. But her husband's past is still hunting her. Roberts's standalone romantic suspense is warm, family-centered, and genuinely dangerous.
