The Girl in Town - Elle Gray

After the murder of her mother, Eve left Chesapeake Valley behind, hoping for a fresh start. nBut home has a way of calling you back... nFormer NSA agent Eve Wicker has faced many hardships and tragedies in life.

nNeeding to be closer to her ailing father, Eve takes a position as her hometown Sheriff. nA position she never imagined would open many old wounds from her past. n nWhen she receives a phone call about a body in the woods, nShe drives up to the crime scene.

nThere, she grabs the attention of the town's mountain recluse. nRoman Pike, a big burly ex-marine who's as abrasive as he is brash. n nEve is no stranger to ego-driven men.

What she didn't foresee, though, is that they would go from butting heads to finding common ground. nUnfortunately, the friendship is short-lived when a case from Roman's past and another murder converge - the murder of his ex-girlfriend. n nIt seems Chesapeake Valley is no longer the sleepy Colorado town of yesteryears.

nIt turns out, in these mountains, the most dangerous creature is an enigma that's easy on the eyes and has murder on his mind... nFrom the local bakery to the Sheriff's office, there's never a dull moment in the Valley.n
