Holding the Truth
(2019)(The first book in the Small-Town Sheriffs series)
A novel by Calle J Brookes
WHY DO WE ALWAYS HURT THE ONES WE LOVE MOST?
Haunted by a terrible crime committed by her own father, Texas State Police Officer Bailey Moore is a woman on a mission:
Getting her normal back after her father nearly killed her.
Mending her broken body and spirit, she's hell-bent on reclaiming her badge, determined to find a way to heal, whatever it takes. Even if it means working with the one man she can't forget—the one whose expectations she never could meet.
Sheriff Clay Addy.
HE HAS HIS REGRETS. SHE IS ONE OF THEM.
Clay Addy is a man living in the shadow of guilt. He should have protected Bailey before. And he had failed. Bailey's return to the force reminds Clay of that every time he looks at her. There are some failures a man can never forget. Having her right there next to him just makes the hurt all that much sharper.
SHE DESERVES FAR BETTER THAN HIM.
—AND HE KNOWS IT.
Clay knows he’s not the kind of man a woman like Bailey needs, so it’s better to keep the walls between them. No matter what. No matter how much he wants to hold her.
But when a serial killer comes to little Value, Texas, Clay has no choice but to work closely with the woman he can’t help but want. As they dig into the killer, an enemy from their past resurfaces. One with a single goal in mind now:
Keep Sheriff Clay Addy away from Bailey. No matter who he has to hurt to make that happen���
HOLDING THE TRUTH is a 500-page, small-town western romantic thriller that takes place within the wider Finley Creek and PAVAD: FBI and Masterson County universe. The Small-Town Sheriffs series contains multiple scenes of violence, adventure, dark criminal behavior, cursing by heroes, heroines and villains, a few mild-to-moderate love scenes, and references to subject matter that may distress some readers, including pregnancy loss, abductions, mass shootings, child abuse and other dark themes.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
