Searching for Winslet
(2024)(The fifth book in the Fallport Rescue Operations series)
A novel by Jen Talty
When a mysterious set of bones is discovered in Fallport, Jett must shield the woman he’s falling for from a dangerous past—before her family's buried secrets drag them both down.
After nearly losing his life in combat, retired Special Forces soldier Jett McCoy is ready for peace and a fresh start. Taking a job as a Park Ranger in the quiet mountain town of Fallport, Virginia, at the urging of his old friend Zeke Calhoun, Jett plans to live a simple life far removed from the chaos of his past. Romance is the last thing on his mind after a failed marriage and a string of bad relationships.
But that all changes when he meets Winslet Payne. A forensic anthropologist with deep ties to Fallport, Winslet is in town for a semester at the local university. Born and raised in the area, she has no intention of staying in a place that holds painful memories of her father’s serial cheating and the dark family secret that her grandfather may have murdered her grandmother. Adding to her internal turmoil, Winslet is ashamed of a past relationship with a man who turned out to be married, a betrayal that still haunts her.
When bones are discovered on a nearby trail, the case draws her ex-lover back to town as an expert, thrusting Winslet’s family history into the spotlight once again. As old wounds reopen, Jett and Winslet find themselves growing closer, bound by their mutual need for understanding and solace. But with danger lurking and emotions running high, will their connection be enough to weather the storm, or will their pasts pull them apart?
