Brooke Tyler knows a thing or two about secrets. Growing up, she'd sworn to keep certain skeletons in the family closet. But her silence came at a heavy price, not the least of which was giving up the love of her life. Today, Brooke is a small-town cop, sworn to uphold the law and uncover the truth. Until her latest investigation unearths another long-buried secret: a dead body. And then others. A virtual killing field. As she delves into these murders, Brooke discovers more than she bargained for--that every secret she's ever kept was based on a lie....
Hardin County, Illinois Deputy Sheriff Chad Robinson misses his former girlfriend Brooke Tyler. She dumped him without a reason and joined the Maryville police department. Brooke hides secrets about her family that she has vowed to never reveal; this pledge and to a greater degree shame led to her leaving Chad. Chad calls her about a corpse found in her jurisdiction. Hearing his voice reminds her of how much it cost her when she realized she had to end their relationship for his sake as he deserved better. As she investigates, more dead bodies surface and Chad seems to be at her side just like when they were partners on the county's sheriff department and in bed. With no one to turn to except her former lover, Brooke investigates the serial homicides fearing her family's darkest secret will surface also. Though the climax seems implausible, TOO CLOSE TO HOME is an exhilarating police procedural with plenty of sexual tension between the lead couple. The story line focuses on Brooke as her inquires lead closer to her home and her heart. Fans will appreciate her efforts to uncover the truth without revealing the dark secret that forced her to end her relationship with her beloved. Harriet Klausner
