Catching the Lost Dream

Investment banking and murder-haunted forests don't usually mix. Debut author Carly Bennett delivers a gripping, small-town, second-chance romantic suspense novel in Catching the Lost Dream, the first installment of a brand new series.

Jordan (used to) dominate the finance world. But after a professional clusterbungle and an impulsive move, she is now the proud owner of a cottage that looks like it might collapse at any second. Then there's the location: the surrounding forest is notorious for a string of unsolved murders targeting young women. Jordan doesn't care. She is determined to make her small-town life work.

Enter Anton. Twenty years ago, he was all sunshine and giddy energy. Now, he’s an arrogant, brooding (but unfairly handsome) billionaire hermit who plagues the town in more ways than one and is hell-bent on making Jordan’s life miserable.

When "random" occurrences turn into actual assaults, Jordan realizes she is in someone's crosshairs. She is forced into an unlikely alliance with Anton, a man she loves to hate. With enemies closing in from all sides, nothing is as simple as it seems.
