Book excerpt: Leaving home wasn’t hard for Erin McNulty and she had no plans to return. Ever. Until she gets a phone call...the aunt who raised her has been killed in a car accident, and her father, Charlie, is in critical condition. Back in her hometown, police officer Colin Barrett informs her there was no accident — someone was trying to kill her father. Colin has no idea who — or why. Together, he and Erin probe Charlie’s past for answers. But that’s not the only answer Colin wants. He needs to know whether he and Erin have any chance at happiness. For Erin, coming home means learning the truth about family...and the truth about love.
