Under the Dogwood Tree

"This is definitely a 'keep the Kleenex box close by novel,' and it's also a heck of a good read. Family dynamics, the search for that happily ever after, the handsome stranger, and - oh, yes - a nameless stalker... Highly recommended." –Karen K. Brees, author of Crosswind

"Kari Wirth tells the story of loss, grief, anger, and the long path to peace with sensitivity and skill." –Kim Conrey, author of Stealing Ares

Ronnie Callahan's rise to police chief is her ultimate achievement. Nothing or no one will ruin that, especially her handsome, down-to-earth ex-husband, Officer Tony Lombardo.

She can handle working side-by-side with him. Outside of the station is a different story. Tony certainly isn't making it easy on Ronnie with holiday invitations to his parents' house and spending the night at her apartment. Through a series of unexpected encounters, Ronnie and Tony are forced to come to terms with the tragedy that tore them apart.

Just as healing begins after a decade of pain, guilt, and regret, a new man swoops into Ronnie's life. Dr. Aidan Foster is everything Tony isn't: sophisticated, educated, and wealthy. That's only the beginning. Lurking in the shadows, a stalker's plot for revenge puts Tony and Ronnie in imminent danger that could change their lives forever.
