PEARL RIVER SERIES #3
REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Her ears rang from gunfire. The last thing she remembered before blackness claimed her . . . "
Three years later, former Chattanooga detective Jenna Hart wears a new badge; she's a sheriff's deputy in her hometown of Pearl Springs, Tennessee. Needing a change of venue after a drug surveillance operation had gone sideways, leaving Jenna with a gunshot wound to the shoulder and swirling accusations about her presence on the scene, she is suddenly embroiled in a case that could potentially have connections to her past. As if that wasn't enough to spawn anxiety, her former supervisor, now T. B. I. Agent Maxwell Anderson, has arrived in Pearl Springs to oversee security for a large political rally . . . the very agent who had kissed her senseless . . . never to be heard from again.
When prominent Pearl Springs' residents begin to show up dead under suspicious circumstances, Jenna and Max find themselves working at warp speed to uncover multiple layers of small town shenanigans that have evidently triggered a colossal revenge plan. Adding to their burden is trying to discern whether or not the curious circumstances that have Jenna looking over her shoulder are a real threat or merely flashbacks of post traumatic stress.
"God has this - it didn't take him by surprise."
As you might imagine, this swift flowing storyline entangles double trouble with clear and present danger, continually circling back to the basics . . . motive, means, and opportunity. A satisfying series conclusion with a few loose ends and a sweet second-chance romance!

BackCover Blurb:
Deputy Jenna Hart has only been working in her sleepy hometown of Pearl Springs for seven months when city officials begin to be targeted by a killer. Twenty years ago, the construction of a dam caused people to lose their land to eminent domain. That wound has not healed with time, and someone bearing a grudge is clearly set on revenge. With the former mayor of Pearl Springs now running for the US Senate, Jenna will have to call in backup to ensure his protection.
That's where Agent Maxwell Anderson comes in. He and Jenna used to work together in the Chattanooga Police Department, and there was even a smoldering fire of attraction. Now they team up to track down the killer before a big political rally that promises to bring not only the former mayor into the crosshairs but hundreds of civilians as well.
As the sparks of romance reignite and the threads of the investigation get tangled when another suspect comes into play, Jenna and Max will have to draw on all of their skills to stay alive and prevent the wave of disaster poised to hit the community of Pearl Springs. The question is, can either of them fully trust that the other has their back?
