Hunters Ridge

She dazzled with Secrets of Whitewater Creek, now Sarah Barrie kicks off a brand-new trilogy about small towns, secrets, and the love that saves lives. Successful horse trainer Alissa Morgan-Jones has the world at her feet, until a tragic fire destroys everything. Widowed, in debt and under suspicion for arson, Alissa's life is in tatters. Her mother-in-law's isolated farm gives her the opportunity to pull her life back together and get herself back on her feet. Four years after fleeing the city and the scandal that ruined his career, disgraced lawyer Cameron Blakely has a successful new business and a new life. When his neighbor, Mavis Littleton is diagnosed with a terminal illness he volunteers to handle her affairs, and her farm until her daughter-in-law arrives to take over. When Alissa finally shows up, he's drawn to her immediately. But, there's more to his new neighbor than her big blue eyes and lost expression. If only she'll open up and let him in. But, there are secrets in both Alissa's past and Hunters Ridge, secrets that jeopardize far more than Cameron's fledgling feelings. Lurking in the isolated wilderness is a danger that neither anticipates, but one that threatens everything: the town, their love, and their lives.

Something's not right in Hunters Ridge… Ebony Blakely has her life nearly exactly where she wants it. She's a country vet with a successful business in Hunters Ridge, a town that she loves, and has a close group of friends. The only thing missing is romance. Unfortunately, the man she wants treats her as a good friend, and no matter how much she tries to change that perception, he just won't get it. Lee Dalton is an ex–cop with a chip on his shoulder about his past. He's determined to make a success of his building business – and keep his thoughts away from his best friend's sister, Ebony. But seeing Ebony every day as he works on her surgery renovation makes that almost impossible and soon their hidden feelings begin complicate their friendship. When it becomes apparent Ebony's life is in danger, she is scared but determined not to run. But following an earlier encounter Lee knows what these monsters are capable of and is forced to use everything he's ever learnt as a policeman to keep her safe. Because these monsters are serial killers, and they'll stop at nothing to claim their prize.
