Yet the quiet rural community cannot deny the lingering suspicion that something more sinister may be at play. The investigation is taken up by private detective Verity Birdwood, who is drawn into the mystery by a combination of professional curiosity and a personal stake in uncovering the truth about the Lamb family’s dark legacy.

"Tyler Ledger was as unsure of Julie Gillespie's motives for being at his family's Texas ranch as he was of the reception he'd receive when he came face-to-face with his estranged father. Still, he agreed to help the enticing reporter solve a murder if she agreed to stay out of trouble. Julie was on a mission, and she wasn't going to be sidetracked by romantic entanglements--even if Tyler was proving more irresistible by the minute.
