Synopsis

Coming home after her grandparents’ mysterious death and stalked by a madman, is she willing to face the fire? “You’re safe. We’re safe. You don’t have to save anyone. I recognized the placating words immediately. Counselors had been telling me that since I was a child, after the fire, after I already saved someone. And, after someone told me I wasn’t worth saving myself.” Calliope Walden didn’t understand the terrorizing notes she received when she was seven; and she doesn’t understand them now that they’ve started again. Shortly after the notes began again, her grandparents died in a fire eerily similar to the one that took her parents two decades ago. Now, she is forced to face a past she’s never fully dealt with, and a future she’s unsure of. Along with her younger sister and cousin, she’s desperately seeking answers in a town where people aren’t always as they appear. Finding friends on her suspect list and a handsome rancher who just may be her undoing, can she stop the madness before she loses anyone else? * Fans of Hallmark Mystery movies will enjoy this small town, single POV romantic suspense/cozy mystery. **This book contains themes of domestic violence, death, grief, and stalking which may be difficult for some readers.
