Ever since a devastating family tragedy seventeen years ago, Grace Bighill has struggled to keep her remaining family from falling apart. Then the discovery of her mother’s body in the woods unearths a connection to a decades old murder case, and Grace is dragged into a politician’s bitter bid for revenge. Constable Mike Davenport’s days in Aspen Lake are numbered. He’s ready to take his next step up the career ladder somewhere a lot more cosmopolitan. He’s avoided any emotional attachments, despite having fallen hard for a certain stubborn local. But when a body turns up, Mike’s careful intentions collapse in the face of Grace’s grief and her exhaustive efforts to care for her family. A search for answers leads Grace and Mike down a twisted path proving no one can escape their roots. But someone might die trying.

The story is complex and the writing drew me right in. I couldn’t stop reading about these two fascinating characters.

Mike is a man with issues. He’s weighed down with his guilt and refuses to make long term connections with people, let alone a relationship. Enter Gracie. Thanks to Gracie’s stubbornness he ends opening up to her like he has not to others. He struggles every day to keep away from Grace as long as he can but she draws him in. He is not afraid to show her his emotions when he is overwhelmed. He is up front about what their relationship can be.

The story unfolds slowly, like a disjointed but beautiful waltz. Mike and Gracie’s passion runs high. They trust and admire each other and the foundation of a stable relationship is built. Lessons are learned and the mystery…well, you’ve got to read this book to figure that out. It’s well worth the read.
