Description

"Jennifer Ryan is at the height of her story-telling best. Page-turning, powerful, with high stakes drama and unforgettable romance, I couldn't put this novel down!"—Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author

If you like Jill Shalvis and Susan Mallery, you'll love Jennifer Ryan's exciting new novel, where a young woman has the chance to rebuild her life and become the woman she was always meant to be...

An inheritance she never expected...

After serving time for a crime she didn't commit, Evangeline returns home to discover her father left her solely responsible for the family's failing ranch, her mother blames her for her father's death, and her brothers want her out of their way. With her family's future squarely on her shoulders, she desperately searches for ways to save their home—before they lose everything.

A chance to right past mistakes...

Her only ally, Chris Chambers. The cop who sent her away is positive she took the fall for someone else. And if she helps him track down the real criminals, he'll clear her record. But the closer Evangeline and Chris get to exposing the truth—and to each other—the deeper Evangeline is drawn into a dangerous sting that will finally bring her justice and pave the way for a bright future.

        Starred review from March 4, 2019
        Ryan (Dirty Little Secret) delivers an intoxicating blend of hair-raising suspense, betrayal, and true love with this gripping contemporary set in the rich vineyards of Napa Valley. Evangeline Austen served four years in prison for a theft she didn’t commit; her arresting officer, Lt. Chris Chambers, is now confident she’s innocent. Evangeline is released on parole as news comes of her father’s death, and she helps Chris set a trap for the true criminals (including her ex-boyfriend, Darren) in exchange for her prison time being expunged from her record. At home on her family’s ranch, Evangeline finds her relatives judge her harshly, but then they learn the disturbing truth about the crime and fret when they find out she’s cooperating with the police. During Evangeline’s fight to clear her name, she and Chris fall in love, but Darren’s machinations could cost them everything. The strong characters—particularly Evangeline—are so skillfully created that they leap off the page, and the spot-on pacing will keep readers’ hearts in their throats as the shocking climax approaches. Ryan’s fans will devour this outstanding tale, as will the many new readers she’s bound to win. Agent: Suzie Townsend, New Leaf Literary.
