Folks in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, claim that where Nikki Bryant goes, trouble is not far behind.
Her refusal to back down from a challenge has made Nikki Bryant a top investigative journalist. When an online friend nudges her to join him in a pact to reconnect with their first loves, Nikki and her boxer dog Elmo leave the bright lights of Las Vegas for the charming Pine Grove. There, she must face the biggest challenges in her career and life—the first love she had left behind and her father’s murder.
Before she can unpack her car, Nikki stumbles upon the dead body of the station’s news anchor, Ashleigh Addison, her childhood rival. Could Ashleigh’s death be connected to an explosive news story that she had teased about airing live? Did that explosive story have anything to do with the murder of Nikki’s father?
With the clues in her father’s cold case hot again, Nikki intends to chase down the story until she catches a killer—no matter what it takes.
