Kidnapping in Hope Town

They must trust each other

...to save two lives.

Responding to a crime scene, Corporal Gardner Fairhurst is shocked to find his rebellious teenage niece shoplifting. He's been Sammy's guardian ever since her mother--his sister, Dani--went missing. But rather than press charges, bakery manager Lia offers Sammy a job. She carries a secret that bonds her with the troubled teen. Now Gard must prioritize Sammy's safety while he and Lia investigate Dani's disappearance. When clues lead them into deadly danger­­--and unexpected romance--will Lia reveal her hidden past, which could make them all a family?
