THREAT OF EXPOSURE Someone wants reporter Madelyn Sawyer to leave the small coastal town she's just arrived in--even if it takes hurting her. But she won't give up her goal of investigating Waterman's Reach's new police chief that easily. Madelyn assumes that former big-city detective Zach Davis--who some believe is a murderer involved in a drug-trafficking ring--is behind the threat. Who else would have a motive? But as bullets fly Madelyn's way, it's Zach who keeps saving her life. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she wants to tell the handsome lawman why she's really in town. But if she does, will she lose his trust...and any hope of surviving long enough to bring the real killer to light?
Zach Davis and Madelyn Sawyer are both suspicious of the other -- and both are harboring secrets they do not wish for anyone to find out. Both have a hidden reason for being in Waterman's Reach. Before Madelyn even arrives in the small town on Virginia's Eastern Shore, she realizes someone is following her. Why? Does someone know the true reason she is traveling to coastal Virginia? How could they know? Zach Davis, newly appointed sheriff in Waterman's Reach, rescues Madelyn several times, her first day in town, but he's suspicious that there is more to the attacks on her than she is willing to divulge. As the attacks worsen, can Madelyn and Zach learn to trust each other enough to confess their secrets and work together to solve this mystery -- before it's too late?!
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I began reading it one day, and finished it the next. It was difficult to put down! Another great read from Christy Barritt!
