Synopsis

Sawyers Bend has a way of hiding its secrets. But this one won't stay buried forever. Avery Sawyer runs a successful brewery in Sawyers Bend, but the shadow of her father's unsolved murder looms over everything. Prentice Sawyer made enemies easily, and a year after his death, no one has been brought to justice. The killer has made it clear - he's not finished with the Sawyer family. Avery is tired of looking over her shoulder. She's determined to find the killer and set her family free from their father's past. But someone wants her to stop digging-badly enough to break into her brewery and steal the evidence she's collected. It's a warning Avery can't ignore, even if it only fuels her desire for answers. Police Chief West Garfield has been chasing leads for over a year, and they've all ended in dead ends. He's known Avery since she was a kid, long enough to know she won't back down, even if she's diving headfirst into danger. Teaming up might be the only way to protect her, but that's a complication of its own. Avery isn't a kid anymore, and West realizes he wants to keep her safe from everyone but him. In a town where secrets run deep and trust is a luxury, Avery and West must navigate old grudges, buried truths, and their own growing feelings. Because someone in Sawyers Bend will do whatever it takes to keep the past buried-and if they're not careful, it could cost them everything. Reckless Heart is a standalone romance with a happy ending. It's eighth in The Hearts of Sawyers Bend series, featuring the Sawyer family of Sawyers Bend.
