Release Date: March 3, 2020

It started with one little lie. But Jane Hardy will do everything 

in her power to uncover the truth in this gripping new romantic suspense.

Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama, after her father retires, but there’s no time for an adjustment period. When her father is arrested for theft and then implicated in a recent murder, Jane quickly realizes she’s facing someone out to destroy 

the only family she has.

After escaping with her father from a cult fifteen years ago, 

Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother—who refused to

 leave—ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have

 found them?

Reid Bechtol is well-known for his documentaries, and his latest project involves covering Jane’s career. Jane has little interest 

in the attention, but the committee who appointed her loves the 

idea of the publicity.

Jane finds herself depending on Reid’s calm manner as he 

follows her around filming, and they begin working together to clear her father. But Reid has his own secrets from the past, and the gulf between them

 may be impossible to cross—especially once her father’s lie catches up with him.

My Review:

How far does one lie go? This story, this title gives up that burning question. In a small fictional Alabama town, we are about to find out. This town reminds me of New Orleans, so in my mind,

I put it close to there. Jane, oh Jane. Cults are bad enough,

but it's often a mess, how the past comes back when you 

least expect it.  

Coble did a good job with the suspense and the plot in this book. I found myself more pulled into it than some of this author's other stories. I read it very quickly, enjoyed the clean read and the faith elements I expect from this author. I did wish it was a tad 

deeper, but I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
