HIGH-STAKES HOMECOMING
Nicole Braun left Silver Lake under a cloud of suspicion—and someone isn’t about to let her forget her troubled past now that she’s returned home. The single mom has worked hard to overcome her reputation, but suddenly she’s the target of an unknown enemy. Only local police chief Brett Eggert has the power to protect her and her young son. But nothing prepares the lawman for the discovery that Nicole’s little boy is the nephew he never knew he had. With Nicole’s secret revealed, Brett is more determined than ever to ensure her safety and find out what’s behind her deadly homecoming.
“I’m not the person you used to know,” Nicole said.
Brett jerked his head back, surprised by her candidness.
She pointed at him. “You think I’m responsible for my friend’s accident.” Her voice had a desperate quality about it. “Or you’re wondering if someone had a grudge against me and ran my car off the road, but instead of hurting me, they hurt Missy.” Her eyebrow twitched as Nicole seemed to fight back the harsh reality. Missy hadn’t simply been hurt.
More than likely, Missy had been killed.
Brett threaded his fingers. “I’m investigating the accident. That’s all.”
Nicole leaned forward in her chair. “I’ve changed. Please leave me alone.” She started to get up. Brett’s hand on hers stopped her. Their gazes met and lingered.
“Someone wanted your car to go into the lake.” He leaned in closer. “Your car.”
Nicole clutched her mittens in her hand. “You really think someone wanted to hurt me?” She let out a mirthless laugh. “I lead a pretty quiet life.”
“You didn’t always lead a quiet life.”
ALISON STONE
left snowy Buffalo, New York, and headed a thousand miles south to earn an industrial engineering degree at Georgia Tech in Hotlanta. Go Yellow Jackets! She loved the South, but true love brought her back north.
After the birth of her second child, Alison left corporate America for full-time motherhood. She credits an advertisement to write children’s books for sparking her interest in writing. She never did complete a children’s book, but she did have success writing articles for local publications before finding her true calling, writing romantic suspense.
Alison lives with her husband of more than twenty years and their four children in western New York, where the summers are absolutely gorgeous and the winters are perfect for curling up with a good book—or writing one.
Besides writing, Alison keeps busy volunteering at her children’s schools, driving her girls to dance and watching her boys race motocross.

To my big sister, Annie St. George. (You will always be Ann Marie to me.)
Thanks for the insight into the glamorous world of funeral homes. I figure your numerous career choices over the years are good for at least a few more books. Love you.
To my husband, Scott, and my children, Scotty, Alex, Kelsey and Leah. Love you always and forever.
