SHADOWS OF THE PAST
Though Macy Douglas remembers nothing from the night of her mother’s murder, she’s determined to prove her father’s innocence in the crime. But she soon finds that returning to her childhood home and digging up her family’s past is a surefire way to attract enemies—and a killer that’s still at large. Now only handsome local cop Nick Baldwin can safeguard her—even if that means disobeying direct orders and risking his job. His boss might not think Macy’s in harm’s way, but Nick’s suspicions are soon confirmed when an assailant breaks into her house. Nick tries to trigger Macy’s memories for clues…but someone will do anything to ensure that the past remains forgotten.
“He said to get out while I could…if I wanted to live.”
Nick choked, sputtering his soft drink over the table. He grabbed a napkin to clean up the mess he’d made, stunned at what he’d heard. “He said what?”
Macy repeated the threat, looking lost, while Nick stared at her. What was going on here? Someone threatened to kill her if she stayed in this house. So what was hidden here that someone wanted bad enough to pull something like this? Or was it someone who wanted to get her out of town before she found out something better left secret?
He wanted to reach across the table and take her hand, tell her it would be all right, but she’d know he was lying. Nothing would be all right until they found out the truth about Megan Douglas’s death and learned for certain who had killed her. Most important, he had to find the jerk harassing Macy before this situation turned deadly.
