But when Rafe comes back, things only go from bad to worse. Resident nurse Marquita Johnson is found murdered, and Metro Nashville Homicide Detective Tamara Grimaldi is asked to handle the case. It doesnt take long for her to focus her interest, once again, on Rafe.
Now Savannah has to make the choice between staying safe by accepting her old flame Todds proposal of marriage, or taking a chance on losing her heart and her life by trying to help Rafe, as the term contract pending takes on a whole new meaning.
I have loved this series since book one and have enjoyed being along for the ride as Savannah has grown from the princess on the hill who tried to live up to her mothers outdated expectations into a strong woman who stands up for her own beliefs and the man she loves. Jenna Bennett has tackled a sensitive subject with honesty, Southern charm, and laugh out loud humor. And the series keeps getting better. I cant wait for the next one. Amazon Reviewer Karli
