Caught between revenge and redemption… With her family shamed and her
faith shaken, Riley Drake carries a heavy burden. She returns to Bayou
La Foudre Parish to clear her brother’s name, but her mission proves
difficult and dangerous. The locals are convinced he’s guilty of the
tragic bombing that left the town in mourning, and she finds her only
ally is Jake Ayers. Frustrated and fascinated by the parish’s brooding
sheriff, Riley hopes she’s found someone to trust with her burden…and
her heart. Sheriff Jake Ayers wants peace and healing in his parish, but
Riley’s presence stirs tempers into a frenzy. Most of the townsfolk
want her dead. Emotions run deep in the bayou, and Jake’s are no
exception. Keeping a level head and an indifferent heart is going to be
as difficult as keeping Riley alive.
