Justice brought him home. Love might be what keeps him there.
When Army veteran Cameron Pope returns to Jubilee, Kentucky for the first time in years, he expects to confront ghosts—but not the kind that steal children in the night. He’s barely unpacked when his young niece has a chilling brush with a human trafficking ring, plunging him into a life-or-death investigation that threatens the fragile peace of his hometown.
Rusty Caldwell—the woman Cameron loved and lost—has her own reasons to join the search for justice. She’s still strong, still stunning... and still untouchable. As a member of Jubilee’s elite, Rusty is bound by small-town divisions that see Cameron as nothing more than mountain-born trouble. But this time, she’s not willing to walk away.
As Cameron and Rusty race to protect the innocent and expose a predator embedded in the town’s social fabric, their rekindled connection burns hotter than ever. Forged by history and tested by secrets, if they’re brave enough to face the truth, they might just be each other’s salvation.

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.
