But ever since the death of her father and the vanishing of her aunt over a decade ago, holidays are always bittersweet. In her heart, Kara knows the rumors about Aunt Angela’s disappearance are untrue. Kara’s proven right when she sees Angela’s car, a body inside, being winched up from a deep ravine. As if that pain weren’t enough, the officer on the scene is the one person Kara avoids every time she returns to town—the man who broke her heart. Officer Sean Colton has never forgiven himself for ruining his relationship with Kara back in high school. Now, convinced there’s a connection between her aunt’s and father’s deaths, he’s determined to make up for his mistakes by helping her find answers. But there’s another connection Sean can’t ignore. As he spends time with Kara, he discovers his feelings for the beautiful woman have never really gone away. But deciding whether to act on them proves as confusing as the case they're trying to crack. This third installment in the Annie's Sweet Intrigue romantic suspense series is a must-read for fans of cozy romance and mystery.
