Obsession. Conspiracy. Attempted murder. One small-town sheriff just landed in the middle of a deadly mess.

As the first female sheriff of Steele Ridge, Maggie Kingston is prepared for all kinds of trouble… just not the mess that invades her town when a superstar quarterback moves in, bringing his big-city problems with him. Jayson Tucker hasn’t been a resident for one day before Maggie is struggling with crowd control, deranged fans, and dozens of reporters camped outside her station, ready to record the latest scandal for primetime TV.

When Jayson reveals startling evidence about a charity he’s been supporting, Maggie suspects there’s more to his story than what the media circus around him is leading everyone to believe. Is there a coordinated smear campaign against Jayson? If so, how far will his enemies go to make sure he stays benched permanently?

While things heat up between Maggie and Jay, they must work together to separate truth from fiction. Time is running out to identify the threat to Jay’s life — and to catch a foe who will stop at nothing to settle the score in their favor.

Poachers are slaughtering wildlife, and one man is responsible. He’s also untouchable.

Still, when Aslynn begs for his help, he is unable to resist.

Aslynn refuses to back down, even as the stakes grow higher. Neither she nor Nyx realizes the full extent of the dark forces at play, and the closer they get to catching the killer, the more their lives and hearts are at risk.

After meeting Remy, a stranger with powers both like and unlike hers, Reena is determined to find the common link. But the only clue she has are the dreams and the pull she feels in her chest to some unknown force called The Source and the power it wields. It calls to them all, but why?

Is this another test, a punishment for the way she’s treated Jaxon, or something else? Reena must restore her relationship with Jaxson, protect those she loves, and stop anyone who might use the power of The Source for personal gain. Or what’s left of this world will disappear forever.

The case was never solved, and the killer was never caught, but there is more than one alumnus who feels certain that the secret to finally bringing this cold case full circle is to take a hard look at a group of students who, on the surface, seem the least likely to have been involved in any sort of crime let alone murder.
