Publisher Description
He barely has time to catch his breath...
Army veteran Cameron Pope arrives back in Jubilee, Kentucky, for the first time in years. He barely has time to catch his breath when he becomes embroiled in a race of life or death for his little niece and a deadly hunt for the human traffickers who are destroying the peace of his mountain town. When he’s reunited with Rusty Caldwell—a woman from his past he’s never stopped thinking about—he wants to believe they can finally be together. But Rusty belongs to one of the rich families in Jubilee—the same rich folks who scorn the rural families living on the surrounding mountainside. Cameron and Rusty will have to find a way to end the feuding and take down the human trafficking ring if they’re to have any chance at happiness.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Sala (The Next Best Day) launches a romantic suspense series with an uneven outing that's long on suspense and short on romance. A chance meeting between Rusty Caldwell and Cameron Pope turns into one unforgettable night together, after which both are sure they'll never see each other again. Five years later, undercover FBI agent Rusty is assigned to infiltrate a human trafficking ring in the mountains of Jubilee, Ky., which happens to be both Rusty and Cameron's hometown, though they come from vastly different social strata within it. Recently discharged Army vet Cameron has faced threats against his family ever since returning home, and now his young niece has been kidnapped by the same human traffickers Rusty is hunting. When the pair are reunited, their attraction is as strong as ever, but they must put old feelings and ongoing family feuds on the back burner in hopes of bringing peace to Jubilee. Sala fails to capture chemistry between her leads, whose flirtation reads as corny and underdeveloped. The suspense plot is much more competently handled, with each page delivering thrilling new details that push the plot forward. This one is only for die-hard Sala fans.
