Close To The Edge (Westen #2)
by Ferrell, Suzanne
Westen Series #2, where small-town romance meets an edge of suspense.After facing death as an undercover narcotics cop, Gage Justice has
come home to heal. His recuperation is cut short by his father’s
unexpected diagnosis of cancer and subsequent death. Now he’s honoring
one of his father’s last wishes by taking over as the sheriff of his
boyhood home, Westen, Ohio. Biding time until his father’s term is
finished, he fights boredom more than crime in the sleepy little
town—that is until one sexy little teacher-turned-Private-Investigator
literally falls into his arms. Bobby Roberts is looking for
adventure. After giving up her own dreams to raise her two sisters after
the death of their parents, she’s been trapped in a schoolroom for
nearly two decades. The suffocating claustrophobia of the classroom has
set her on a new career path. She arrives in Westen, complete with
brand-spanking-new PI license, a handgun and a simple case—investigate a
lien on property of a dead man. Little does she realize her
“simple little case” will lead her into the world of one sexy sheriff
and the path of a murderer intent on keeping them both from discovering
his secrets or stopping his plans that could destroy Westen.
